Thargear Whitebraid

General Thargear Whitebraid is an imposing figure of an old dwarf and perhaps one of the most decorated Dwarven war veterans in history. Having served as a lieutenant for the Bronzebeards during the War of Three Hammers, Thargear has seen every major war that Dwarven kind has involved themselves in.

Serving as a conscript in the First War, a Commander in the Second War, then a General in the Third; Thargear has seen more battle than most in his several hundred years. Despite this, Thargear suddenly retired and abandoned his people after the Cataclysm; shortly after his recovery from a torrid engagement with the Dark Irons. Rumored to be fueled by something that occurred during that battle and the rise of Moira Bronzebeard as the Dark Iron queen, Thargear went unseen for some time. Offering his services as a mercenary to those who would hire him, Whitebraid made a significant fortune. It was later found that the death of his three sons during the war with the Dark Irons led to his retirement, unwilling to accept one as his queen.

For a time, Whitebraid fought for Lord Esterwall Fitch, which was an odd thing to see that he was surrounded by Dark Iron Clansmen. Turning on Fitch, he helped the forces of the Blades of Greymane and the Duchy of the Ashen Coast infiltrate his villa just outside of the Greymane Wall, suggesting that they could arrest him by capturing his son Casseric. However, Casseric was knocked out in a manner that looked like he had been killed, making Esterwall go berserk on the Blades.

Following the skirmish at Esterwall's villa he joined Nulric Ironcrag at Dun Boldihr. Since his re-introduction to dwarven society, Thargear has begrudgingly worked alongside the alliance-affiliated Dark Irons, though he often keeps his distance.
