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.

Backstory
Dorn came from one of the barbarian tribes of the plains of the Western Heartlands. Dorn met Vahn for the first time when his tribe was threatened. The Arcane Archer swiftly helped and saved Dorn's tribe from extinction. Dorn's motivation for traveling to Baldur's Gate in search of adventure was said to be "glory."

The Red Fang Marauders
Dorn arrived in the city to find that the threat he had traveled to face, Eldrith the Betrayer, had already been defeated; although he and his friends did not know of the Betrayer and simply came to fight Xantam's Guild. Dorn and the five other adventurer's he was with took down the Zhentarim's Goblinoid Gang, the Red Fang Marauders.

The War Against the Vampires
If this did not anger the Zhentarim, then Dorn and his friends joining the Harpers did. To seal the Onyx Tower, Dorn and his friends collected a number of artifacts before the Zhentarim could. Dorn then helped the druid Allana rid the Reaching Woods of the dragon Baragoth. The Zhentarim and the Harpers then made a temporary alliance in which Dorn and his friends were the key point. Dorn then helped rescue Vahn and the other Heroes of Baldur's Gate from the Keep of Pale Night. Now the adventurer's were at eight and when Mordoc SeLanmere rose the Onyx Tower in Baldur's Gate, all eight of the adventurer's killed him and ended the undead crisis within the Black Dragon Gate.

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 greatsword, 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.
