Ruck

Ruck is a dwarf of the smith caste who has become deformed by the darkspawn taint. He can be found in the ancient ruins of Ortan Thaig, which is accessed via the Deep Roads.
== Background ==
According to his mother, Filda, Ruck left Orzammar as the only smith of an expeditionary force into the Deep Roads five years before the Fifth Blight. While in the expedition, he accidentally killed a fellow dwarf in a quarrel. Rather than stay and endure the punishment of being exiled to the mines, where he would have found certain death, Ruck ran away. In order to survive in the Deep Roads, Ruck fed on the corpses of darkspawn which made him severely tainted. He is also a scavenger, and will attack the Warden if he fears having his "treasures" stolen. Ruck seems to remember his previous life in Orzammar, or at least his mother, and it pains him greatly to even think of those good times.
