Dorn Redbear

Dorn Redbear is a male, human barbarian and one of the five starting playable characters in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II. Typical of his class, he is very physically powerful and can enter a berserk state.

Adventuring Career
Dorn comes from one of the barbarian tribes of the plains of the Western Heartlands. In the introduction to the game, Dorn's motivation for travelling to Baldur's Gate in search of adventure is said to be 'glory.' Dorn arrives in the city to find that the threat he had travelled to face, Eldrith the Betrayer, has already been defeated. But playing Dorn sets him on course to face the machinations of Mordoc SeLanmere instead. On his journey, Dorn's unique optional side-quest is to help the druid Allana rid the Reaching Woods of the dragon Baragoth.

Abilities
As a barbarian, Dorn places great stock in brute strength. He is the only playable character who can unlock the ability to wield a two-handed weapon such as a Great Sword in each hand. His berserk power allows him to temporarily inflict greater damage, but he is unable to block for the duration of its use. After completing his optional side-quest Dorn can unlock abilities which focus less on pure phsyical strength and are more related to nature, including the power to charm animals.
