[spoiler=Background]Stifling. Not because of the musty halls and stone buildings of Erekrus, where Rekran had slaved away for years as a simple blacksmith. Not because of the hot coals he worked over every day, for long, unforgiving hours. Not because of the pressure on him to measure up to his father, a great smith who had crafted many great works for the pharaohs of Osirion. Rekran was stifled in this necropolis because there was no way to earn the fame and fortune he so desired. Though by no means poor, the sand dwarf lived like the simple craftsman he was. But he wanted more. More than just a shop and a forge to call his own, Rekran's aspirations are much larger and grander.

Still, it was a great surprise, to all that knew him, when the usually quiet dwarf one day sold the majority of his tools and signed up with a foreign merchant's guild that was headed for the far-off country of Talingarde. This was mostly just a way for Rekran to find his way into the outside world, however. Soon after they all arrived in Talingarde, the blacksmith 'mysteriously' disappeared. But in actuality, he had simply wandered off, before being taken in by a local mercenary guild.

Welcomed due to his skill at the forge, but mostly ignored due to his calm demeanor and introspective bent, Rekran found that this life was slightly better than his previous one, but not by much. Content to be working for his own gain, however, fueled the dwarf, and he produced many splendid weapons for the sellswords. But it was still not enough. So when he was offered an obscene amount of money to step foot into a new field of work: assassinations.

He received a letter from an anonymous source, and in the letter, was tasked with slaying one of his customers, from outside the mercenary guild: a diplomat of Talingarde by the name of Lykos. With the kind of money he was promised, Rekran would be able to start a new life, one significantly richer and more fulfilling than his current one. Blinded by his greed, the sand dwarf agreed to the request without much thought.

Once the diplomat's order, an ornate greatsword, was complete, Rekran broke his usual protocol, likely the first of his mistakes. He offered to deliver the weapon to Lykos by himself. Arriving at the Talinraen official's residence, Rekran was empty-handed and unarmored, save the diplomat's weapon. So, when Lykos asked to see the blade, the Osirian dwarf could only grin wickedly. He drew the blade from it's sheath, showing it to the diplomat. [b]"I have crafted you a beautiful weapon,"[/b] Rekran had told him. [b]"It is such a shame that it'll be the last thing you ever see,"[/b] he stated coldly, as he raised the weapon over his head as he moved to complete his contract.

But at that moment, a dozen armed guards burst into the room, spears, swords and axes pointed at the dwarf. He was wrestled to the floor, disarmed and bound in manacles. They had somehow found out about the dwarf's other reason to be here, and captured him before anything could be done. Furious, the dwarf growled, roared and screamed, cursing everyone and anyone. He had been set up! This was all an elaborate ruse! But alas, his words fell on deaf ears. Within hours, he was before a judge and jury of Talingarde. It was not two hours later that they leveled his judgment: for the crime of attempted murder, Rekran Underforge was to be sent to Braderscar Prison, and in three days, he was to die by beheading.

Now, Rekran rots in a prison cell, ruing his hasty decision and the lack of strength to carry it out. He has not yet given up, for surely there must be something he can do to weasel out of this fate. He just needs to think of it, and fast...[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Physical Description]Stout and dark-skinned, Rekran is a rather plain-looking Sand Dwarf. Though his kind are exceedingly rare in Talingarde, he does not appear notably different from most of the others in the Osirian mercants' guild, save for the strange runic tattoos on his arms, and the odd birthmark on his forehead. His black hair is generally wild and unkempt, but his beard is treated with proper dwarven respect.

For all intents and purposes, though, he appears to be a normal dwarf: short, gruff and not particularly friendly.

[spoiler=Personality]Rekran is the quiet, introverted sort: much more well-suited to working at a forge than cavorting with others. However, the greed for money and power that have motivated him all his life have finally gotten him into a bind he may never get out of.

Rekran is amazingly self-centered. Everything he does, he does for his own benefit. If it helps others in the process, so be it, but he almost never goes out of his way to assist people if he has nothing to gain from it.[/spoiler]
