Jurgen Firebeard

Jurgen is the leader of the Dwarven Flamebeard cartel, the de facto rulers of the Anarch city of Cadogan Weir.

Appearance
Jurgen is a heavily muscled male Dwarf with golden skin and a long bushy red beard. He appears to be in the peak of his lifespan, and were he a human you would guess he was around 30 - he is in fact over 600 years old. His natural large frame combined with his bodybuilder physique means he appears nearly as wide as he is tall. He is infamous for never wearing a shirt or anything on his top half, preferring just a pair of beautifully crafted silk shorts and a pair of elegant leather boots. He claims anything more would just stifle his muscles.

Personality
Some call Jurgen a vain man, he maintains he is justly proud of the life he has earned for himself. He loves to show off in feats of strength and daring but he is also very particular about only wearing the finest clothes. He adores jewellery and is never seen without gold hanging off his neck and around every finger and thumb - only the biggest gems and purest gold will do of course. He also has a reputation for having a furious temper when roused, and rumours go that anyone who actually managed to beat him in one of his contests would ‘disappear’ shortly afterwards. His home is in the upper reaches of the city, overlooking the river, and it is always full of gang members and sycophants, especially when he is throwing one of his weekly parties. He considers himself quite the ladies man, and some say that many of his gang are his blood in some way - a veritable army of sons, daughters and niblings.

History
Jurgen’s history beyond a certain point is unclear, as he originally lived in one of the more far-flung Dwarven outposts. He came to Cadogan Weir during the rebellion and was a major support to the uprising, providing men and coin to help the Anarch Dwarves against the city’s previous owners. He quickly settled in as one of the top dogs once independence was proclaimed. Some Dwarves had been worried he would attempt to set himself up as a king in the style of their previous overlords, but he proved to be speaking the truth when he said he was more interested in gold and parties. Jurgen is rumoured to have a number of magical artefacts collected during his 600+ year lifespan, one of which is believed to be artificially prolonging his life and allowing him to maintain his youthful good looks.
