==Name==
Umbert Ironshield
==Physical Traits==
Umbert was average height for a dwarf, though a little lighter than he should have been, due to his self-punishing routines. His light brown beard was thick and his hair was coarse, silver hairs peeking through here and there. The four metal ringlets on his beard braids had dwarven runes carved on them, each representing something Umbert cared deeply about.
His eyes still showed his grim determination to the end, but the years of depression and stress had taken their sorry toll on Umbert, and his eyes were often sad and lonely-looking.
Umbert's body was starting to show signs of his age, his muscles slightly softer than they used to be, and pronounced wrinkles spawning on his hands, forearms and face. His forehead was wrinkled from many frowns throughout his recent years.
Umbert recently acquired a series of long, rippled scars across his entire body. When he's wearing clothing, the only truly noticable one was a scar that stretched from the inward end of his left eye to his chin.
His right hand had mostly been disintegrated by contact with the Embrace's Black Book when he tried to take it from Sinthya Bloodthorn.

Son: Lannok Ironshield (Slain during the Scourge of Lordaeron at Brill. Location of corpse unknown.)
==Personal Notes==
Umbert was a brave and well-meaning soul, his ambition to do good for the world near-limitless. He sadly suffered from severe depression, due to the casualty toll his battalion sustained during their deployment at the Argent Stand in Zul'Drak, prior to the siege of Icecrown Citadel, and also from his bone-searing loneliness, due to the death of his wife and son during the Third War. He awaited death for many years, and would gladly sacrifice himself so that a younger, "braver" ally may live out their destiny.
However, Umbert had a die-hard mistrust of Death Knights and warlocks, due to the idiocy the former showed around Stormwind, and the dark magicks used by both.
In his final days, Umbert's descent into madness, thanks to his disposure by the Argent Crusade and his inability to freely pass on to meet his family in the afterlife, changed the once level-headed and quiet dwarf into an angry, violent and irrational parody of his former self.
==Current Status==
Umbert was killed trying to free his soul from the demonic artifact known as the Black Book, currently in the possession of Sinthya Bloodthorn. He faced off against Lady Bloodthorn and Morrigan the Transparent in Raven Hill Cemetery for ownership of the book, and although sustaining tremendous wounds and fighting on, eventually succumbed to the merciless onslaught of the two cultists.
Bloodthorn severed his head after he was dead, and took it to Stormwind to show as a trophy to all that would meddle with the Embrace. Morrigan, showing slightly more respect for the fallen dwarf, consumed his heart, after which she cremated his remains, taking a small memento from the corpse as a tribute to his fighting spirit and determination.
