Description: This petite short man is perpetually holding a tea of some kind. He wears a shirt that is too small, which lets his gut show, with a ratty blue coat over it, marred by teas. His silver hair is cut short. He has blue eyes.

Personality: He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. He is not one for noise or eating so much, which is in direct contrast with his big mouthed big gutted partner.

He is fiercely protective of his fellow citizens and foreign allies.

History: Sold as a small child to a wizard, Orryn was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared. A freak accident while working with his Soapmaker mother left him crippled. During his travels, Orryn and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Orryn discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Orryn fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.

Motivation: Obtaining odd cultural Gnomish artifacts is his passion.
