Personality: He believes there is no problem he cannot solve with sufficient elbow grease and persistence, if it is the best or most economic solution matters not.

Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Nordak is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: She got into the Shoemaker business at a young age. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a old dungeon.

Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there.
