Though he does not necessarily dislike conversation or companionship, the young Dwarf seems handcrafted for the life of a Ranger. Tasked with safeguarding the wilds below the mountain trails, Bron takes it upon himself not just to thwart any potential scouts looking for weak points, but also to protect the balance and safety of the creatures that have inhabited the forests long before Bron was born and will stay long after. Although he would do it with few words, Bron is not afraid to leap into action to save and protect any creature or person in need. He holds his duty to protect Ironhold's borders very highly. The Ranger is calm and calculated in most situations, always striving to keep his head in most situations. He takes time to plot his course ahead, especially if he needs to get somewhere quickly, before executing his plan to the best of his ability. Afterall, one wrong step in the mountains or trees could mean an embarrassing, lonely death. His senses has been sharpened to fit the Wilds surrounding him, and in battle he fights with cold ferocity and unfettered tenacity when the need arises. While he believes that a fight [i]should[/i] be avoided, he'd be hard-pressed to say he disliked the adrenaline of combat. Bron's knowledge of surviving the wilds and wayfinding is practically second to none, as long as it is solid ground Bron is comfortable in almost any kind of environment. He may not be rushing to the sea, but he's comfortable at the helm of small rowing or sailboats to traverse rivers and lakes. However, due to spending so much time alone, his conservational skills could be considered lacking to say the least. He doesn't usually like to waste time with long-winded instructions and explanations when there's a job to be done. However, he's happy to lend an ear when he feels the time is appropriate. He'd rather raise a mug to other's sagas or give a small smirk and chuckle to their tales than to share his own.

Eventually they had a second child and Brom became very protective of his younger brother Tolvur. They grew up together, only a few years apart in age, and were almost inseperable. Tolvur actually became quite outgoing and became the one to drag Brom along to social events much to his chagrin. Though truthfully, it was kind of nice. When they were old enough, Brom and Tolvur were tasked with delivering some ore outside of Ironhold for some trading. This was Brom's first true experience outside the walls of the Mountains and he was instantly hooked. When they returned, Brom started to spend more time with the Ranger's as his interest grew. He enlisted as soon as he could and begun training straight away. He learnt all the skills he needed to tend to the borders, as well as how to move, hunt, track and fight. Meanwhile, Tolvur became a Miner alongside his father. However, there was a freak cave-in and the rubble had collapsed on Tolvur as he pushed Kraz out of the way to safety. The death hit the entire family hard, but Brom the most. Without Tolvur, he secluded himself more and his isolated tendencies grew. Still, Brom vowed to become a skilled Ranger to honour his brother. He has become a stalwart protector of the border but now he is tasked with a new mission. With the death of the royal family's Prince, King Brolmyr has sent word to his best Rangers to go forth and assist the Light Elves and Princess Annya in their endeavour to stop the threat of the Dark Elves' new King and Queen. The murders were harrowing to watch... but as he steps forth once more, Brom will tighten his grip around his axes and march forward to new horizons.
