==Personality==
Quick to make friends and quick to be angered by his enemies.  He usually does not bandy words but says what is on his mind, and caught in the passion of the moment, sometimes what is said is, although inspired, not always well-thought-out.
Devotion to Berethane was his only religious concern, but now he reserves a little prayer time to Belaius, for through his Communarch Theon, he has been snatched from death's jaws times innumerable.
Family and friends are important to him as well.
Most do not know that besides making weapons at the smithy, he enjoys producing art out of steel and other metals, one of the simplest of those being iron blacksmith's puzzles.  However, even the weapons should be works of functional art.  Everyone thinks he just likes boats a whole lot, but at home in Ysven, sea power and dominance mean rights to more fishing.  Keep in mind they compete with ogres among others for share of the best fishing lanes.
==Fighting Style/Preference==
Protect my friends, the weak, and the innocent.  To do that, I power attack with my axe till it stops moving.  When in a target rich environment, cleave and great cleave are your friend.   And did I mention raging kicks ass?  Thrym dreams of the day he can use his massive strength to swat or crush someone with a small cart of the 300lbs variety.  Till then the memory of using a gnome as a baseball will be one of the most fun things he's done.  The 1st 'Thryming" of the field will live forever in his memory as well.
