Baerick Hammerstone

Baerick Hammerstone was a Dwarf master of the black ice in Icewind Dale in 1484 DR.

History
Baerick was a simple miner of Clan Battlehammer when he and his crew were recruited by Pallidor, a former member of the Arcane Brotherhood, to recovered the corpse of Akar Kessell. However Baerick first discovered the black ice, that driven him mad. Craze he killed all his fellow and after became subservient to Kessel, that had risen as Wight. Under orders of Kessel Baerick spread in the dale the black ice, corrupting many people. Meantime back at Kelvin's Cairn he questioned Stokely Silverstream's leadership, resulting in a scission of a group of similarly disaffected dwarves that followed Baerick away. They established in the Halls of Black Ice, where Baerick plotted to conquer all dwarves
