Thibbledorf Pwent Thibbledorf Pwent was the dwarf leader of the Gutbusters of Mithral Hall . Description . Pwent was known for wearing vicious - looking spiked armor . He was also known for having never taken a bath . He had an odor so foul that even other dwarves avoided standing too close to him . In one instance , Catti - brie rubbed his head in a fond manner and ended up with a film of stinking filth on her hand . Personality . Pwent was a dwarf of tremendous character ; held in high regards by many of his kin . In his initial arrival at Mithral Hall , Pwent was a thorn in the side of King Bruenor Battlehammer and many others . The berserker was loud , abrasive , and smelly ( because of his intense hatred for bathing ) . However , because of his deep love for King Bruenor and his steadfast loyalty to king and clan , Pwent earned his place as a member of Clan Battlehammer one battle at a time . Thibbledorf was known for his eagerness for and love of battle . He once begged the werewolf Bidderdoo Harpell to bite him so that he could also become a werewolf presumably making him even fiercer in combat and hairier to boot . Bidderdoo wisely refused the request . History . Mithral Hall . Pwent was present when the duergar and Shimmergloom first laid siege to Mithral Hall . He later escaped Mithral Hall , only to return to offer his fealty to Bruenor Battlehammer when Mithral Hall was retaken in 1456 DR . Soon after his return , Pwent bravely defended Mithral Hall from a drow raiding party , eventually becoming incapacitated by Vierna ' s snake - headed whip . Pwent also proved to be essential in defending Mithral Hall in 1370 DR when he and his Gutbusters covered the dwarven retreat back into the safety of Mithral Hall . Pwent promptly rescued a severely wounded King Bruenor . Pwent was one the few dwarves selected by Bruenor when the king put together a small , elite group in order to march to the heart of the orc army and kill Obould Many - Arrows in hopes of freeing Mithral Hall from the press of the orc invasion . In 1370 DR , Pwent ventured forth from Mithral Hall to the site of the last battle to return the bodies of his fallen comrades home in order to keep a promise made to the father of one of his recruits . In 1462 DR , Pwent set out with Bruenor and Drizzt Do ' Urden to find Gauntlgrym . However , he ended up staying in Icewind Dale due to his feeble knees from his battleraging . In the end , Pwent came to the aid of the group inside Gauntlgrym after the ghosts of Gauntlgrym summoned the dwarves of Clan Battlehammer for help . Pwent ultimately dragged Bruenor to the lever that sealed the fire primordial in a cage of water elemental s . Pwent ' s throat was slit by Dor ' crae , the vampire , and Drizzt believed him dead . Vampirism . It was revealed that Pwent rose from his grave in Gauntlgrym . He was not dead , but nor was he alive . He had been turned into a vampire by Dor ' crae . He hunted and fed off the blood of goblins and other monsters . However , he feared what he would become . After a brief talk with Drizzt in 1463 DR , Pwent decided to wait for the sun to rise in order to commit suicide . However , he never went through with the act . When Bruenor returned to Gauntlgrym to retrieve his axe , Pwent was discovered to have escaped back into the caves after his talk with Drizzt . He was now the leader of an undead band of drow . Bruenor vowed to return to free his friend from the curse of vampirism . By 1484 DR , Pwent had proclaimed himself the " Steward of Gauntlgrym " and controlled a number of drow vampire minions , periodically attacking the drow of Q ' Xorlarrin . When Drizzt and the reborn Companions of the Hall returned to Gauntlgrym to free Pwent from his curse , Pwent at first attacked them but then aided them in finding and rescuing Artemis Entreri and his companions . Catti - brie eventually captured Pwent in Wulfgar ' s magical horn , replacing the ten beserkers . They took the horn to Longsaddle , where he was resurrected and cleansed ; he died and was buried there in Longsaddle . However , his embodiment as a beserker remained inside the horn so that when blown , a corporeal image of Pwent would be summoned , crying out " Me king ! " For that reason , the horn remained in Bruenor ' s hands . Possessions . Thibbledorf ' s armor was ridged so as to catch the flesh of a close - held enemy and tear it when the dwarf began to shake and gyrate . His helmet featured a spike that was half his height . It squeaked and squealed so much that he had no chance of stealth whatsoever . Pwent , like the other Gutbusters , carried a flask of drink called Gutbuster , which helped to combat most known forms of poison and likely held an anesthetic effect as well . Relationships . Pwent became one of Bruenor ' s most trusted friends , advisers , and combat allies . When not training in battle or drinking , a good amount of Pwent ' s time was spent trying to convince Bruenor ' s adopted daughter Catti - brie to grow a beard .
