Barackus "Boomer" Doomhammer

Barackus “Boomer” Doomhammer is a member in good standing of the Steel Guild, and scion of the proud and noble Mountainborn Clan Doomhammer. Barackus is adamant that his family name should not be confused with his Hillborn cousins - also named Clan Doomhammer. That guildless family is notoriously comprised of lay-abouts and wanderers (notably adventurers). Barackus' clan is proud and honorable in their service as guards and mercenaries. His family and his family before him all were members of the Steel Guild, focusing on martial pursuits and their own brand of dwarfiness.

Barackus was often picked on as “a runt of the litter” amongst other jibs. This lead Barakus into over-compensating his dwarfness such as having to have the longest and bushiest beard as well as longest hair. Left home to prove himself superior to those who ridiculed him. He proved himself capable and was offered a lucrative contract with the Ebony Mercenary Company as a scout.

An opportunity arose between jobs for Barakus to gain some arcane knowledge and learn the ways of wizardry. Despite the fact that his family and guild both eschewed the arcane arts, he jumped at the chance. Magic had always been something that fascinated him even though it wasn’t very dwarf like. He figured learning how to blow stuff up would come in handy and fit well with his life mantra: “Go big or go home.” This lead to Barakus earning the nickname “Boomer” and achieving rank of Sergeant.

During a mishap while learning how to sculpt the fireball spell, He detonated the blast too close. Boomer set his prized ultra long hair and beard ablaze. Boomer recovered from the error, but he now regularly shaves his head and face. Boomer eventually took issue with the politics in the upper command of the Ebony Company, deciding to part ways and strike out on his own.

Boomer joined up with his current adventuring party while traveling the eastern coast of Radavan looking for work. He is probably closest to Shae on the team, but he has worked with them all in the past. He is slowly coming to the acceptance that he is as much of a dwarf as he wishes to be and that he is happier now than he has ever been.
