Description	Short, sturdy, missing left eye, 1 missing incisor & 1 molar. Beard past the waist.	Role	Utility man, master of skills

 At 4’9” in height, Derelek is a full foot shorter than Richelle, the next shortest of the Heroes of the Hammer. He is sturdy and very stocky, built like a fortress as the saying goes. His missing left eye is covered with a patch, around which radiates a fearsome set of scars. The remaining eye is a sharp coppery color, and his thick brows are usually knotted in thought. His most noticeable facial feature is his bushy black beard, which grows down past his belt buckle.

 

A life of danger and misadventure has left Derelek missing several teeth, including one of his upper incisors. Accordingly, his deep and gruff voice is punctuated with a slight whistle. Derelek is a coarse speaker, seldom willing to be bothered with flowery language or poesy; he says what he means in a concise, direct and often profane manner and doesn’t usually care for those that easily take offense anyway.

 

By way of attire, utility rules the day: Derelek is usually clad in stained and sturdy workman’s garb for his labors at drafting board, forge or alchemical laboratory. He favors a thick leather apron fitted with numerous pockets and pouches for tools and reagents, and usually wears thick gloves as well as heavy hobnailed boots that mysteriously never leave footprints. Most of the fabrics that he wears are in drab earth tones or in various shades of yellow, gold or orange as befits an alchemist of the Gold College. For more formal or academic occasions, he keeps a few sets of scholar’s robes and dress clothing, but can seldom be bothered with such things. One thing he does love, however, is gold: Derelek likes to wear heavy bracelets, torcs and similar items of jewelry when they are not impractical. Occasionally, he will make a point of wearing the exotic kimono and hakama that he brought home with him from his excursion to Nippon.

 

Derelek is a warlike and bellicose Dwarf, and lovingly maintains his suit of full plate armor. His horned and plumed helmet is highly distinctive: it only has an eye hole on the right side since he sees no sense in leaving his blind side similarly vulnerable. The head of Derelek’s double handed war axe Mountain Breaker is decorated with braided patterns and topped with a stout spike; its large counterweight is shaped like a crescent mooon.

Current Status

Derelek is currently the Chief Engineer of the Dragon Brethren and an active member of the Get of Oroboros. He is no longer involved directly in adventuring, his efforts being primarily directed towards advancing the war efforts against Naggaroth with his considerable technical and alchemical expertise. Derelek is, however, still very much involved in the ongoing political developments and storylines of the Dragon Brethren.
