Athrogate

Athrogate is a dwarven warrior of some reputation in the Bloodstone Lands.

Appearance
He has the stout and powerful built of a typical dwarf. He wears his black beard parted in the middle, two long braids of straight hair running down to midchest, each tied off at the end with a band set with a trio of sparkling blue gemstones. His bushy eyebrows nearly cover his brown, almost black eyes. He has large ears. .

He wears a suit of armor, part leather, part plated, and covered with a myriad of buckles and straps.

He speaks the goblin tongue though heavily accented.

Weapons / Magical Items
Athrogate wears a broad belt depicted with metal lightning bolts which is rumored to be a Belt of Stormgiant Strenght.

He fights with twin gray Glassteel morningstars, tied in an X at his back, their spiked metal heads whipping at the ends of adamantine chains. On command one of them emits a dark reddish and chalky fluid, the ichor of a rust monster, which, when coming in contact with other metal, disintegrates it. The right-hand morningstar coats itself with a clear and oily liquid known as Oil of Impact. Using thus enhanced weapons with first left then right strikes, Athrogate smashes anything from steelbar to iron golem into rustflakes.

History
He is a member of a group of warriors chosen by commander Ellery Dragonsbane to fight the legacy of Zhengyi, the Witch-King. Athrogate is a supreme killer, an agent of the thieves guild Tightpurse and associated with the Citadel of Assassins. Thus he is often accompanied by Canthan Doolittle, a wizard of the Citadel of Assassins.
