Throgrim Ironhammer

Son of Belegar Ironhammer and Vala Kemma is the sole and only successor of the Ironhammer's house. He was from a young age a renown warrior and craftsman known to be a noble person due to his values. Being raised up by his father Thorgrim learned a lot about the past mistakes of his anscestors and was ashamed of their mistakes. After his father had taught him all that he could about governing and fighting Thorgrim noticed that he had a talent for managing and strategising in the battlefields which he took advantage of to win battles for his hold. One day there were knews about a huge orc warband approaching his hold. Rallying to the danger Throgrim mobilised most of the troops and came out to confront those beast the best way he could, which was land battles. At first the battle was going at the dwarven forces favour but stuff quickly became sour. A reinforcement army of orcs joined the fray and the exhausted dwarfs have to fight two armies at once while being surrounded. Thorgrim's bodyguards suggested they retreat for his safety but Thorgrim refused to abandon his soldiers. In the midst of the battle Thorgrim was pushed by one of his bodyguards into a deep cave trying to give his majesty a chance of survival for that the lines had fallen. All dwarven forces were either annhialated or captured and used as food for the warband. Thorgrim feeling like his death has come closed his eyes awaiting his death. But he had awaken once again. Slowly getting up he and his now broken hammer moved to find an exit from that cave. In that cave there were nothing but tall black creatures with purple eyes which Thorgrim killed to eat and survive. In those horrible times thorgrim had noticed his skin becoming more and more black and his eyes from brown turned into purple. He became all the more similar to those creatures after having absorbed all those beasts.
When he finally managed to get out of that cave all he could do is cry to the fact that his once proud hold had fallen to the orc's hands. His father lied dead with his head on a spike which was carried by the orc warboss. Seeing there was no hope he fled to the mining outposts to prepare evacuations for that they were next. Finding few survivors Thorgrim ordered their split up and those that wish to follow him should come with him to a newly discovered land. The fact that their only leader had become more of a beast than a dwarf at first frightened the dwarfs of the Ironhammer clan, those that remained, but still they followed. They were driven and finally settled in an abandoned land that has now become the city of Doranth the new home of Clan Ironhammer. Thus at the age of 300 years he managed to make his clan a new home.
