Arzamas

=Physical Description=
Arzamas Ingottoe is slightly taller than the average dwarf. His skin is a rich brownish red, a feature known to run in his family and referred to with pride as bole. He is somewhat heavyset, muscular, and beginning to grey noticeably. His beard is long, but kept clean.
=Personality=
Much of Arzamas's life has been spent among humans and he has learned some of the finer points of their etiquette and behavior. Honest, kind, and normally giving, Arzamas's manner can occasionally get a little manic and over exuberant. However, at times he can be secretive and selfish, but these moment are as clouds drifting across a sunny mountainside - temporary and insubstantial against his normal warmth.
In short, he can be described as "Friendlier than the average dwarf." He has a strong faith in Eonar the Lifebinder, who he believes to be the true embodiment of the Light.
=History=
Arzamas Ingottoe is the eldest son of Sarov Ingottoe and Seraphim Pebblebitty, and now a Paladin of The Eleventh Hour.
The Ingottoe family owns several farmsteads in northern Loch Modan. The family name, though not widely known, holds itself as respectable and honest. Not traditionally a house of heroes, but certainly a house of means, the Ingottoe clan was able to provide rations and financial support for Madoran Bronzebeard's troops in the war against Thaurissan's invading army. Though some of the family were directly involved in the conflict, its place in history has traditionally been one of continual and dependable support and quality foodstuffs. At least a fourth of Sraaz the Pie Vendor's crusts are made from grain grown on Ingottoe land. 
Although Arzamas found the life of a farmer and business manager enjoyable and worthwhile in its own right, his deeply held belief in Eonar as the true embodiment of the Light fostered a desire to train as a paladin. He left the Loch, seeking knowledge and ability as a means to prove his faith. In Stormwind he found some of both and not a few tests of faith. Dwarven paladins were not valued as highly as human paladins, even after the fall of Stormwind, due at least in part to the false impression that dwarves would make poor soldiers mounted on horses. 
After Arthas's Betrayal, Arzamas was among the first dwarven paladins to offer his services beyond the realm of healing and scholarly work. Trained, as most dwarves are, in the use of axes, maces, and blades, Arzamas took quickly to the dual task of being a fighter and a healer. Utilizing his training to make the Azeroth a better and safer place, Arzamas seeks to share his understanding of the synthesis between the Light and the Titans with those who are willing to listen.
