+|affiliations=None}}Fintan is a grouchy old [[Hill Dwarves|hill dwarf]], a traveling trader known for his skills in healing and cooking, his exceptionally small stature, and his very bad attitude. He travels all across [[Northrim]] and the [[Achaean Empire]] in a great wagon pulled by a red ox, though when in cities, he uses a smaller wagon pulled by his trusty donkey.
 ==Biography==
-Fintan does not speak much of his past. He was born in the [[Dwaerrodowns]] and lived there for many years as a priest of [[Frigga]]. Among more typical priestly duties, he also cared for the sick in his house of healing, and there he gained much knowledge of treating illnesses and mending wounds. Apparently due to taking part in some highly shady and questionable business, the nature of which Fintan refuses to disclose, he was cast out of his home village and stripped of all his authority and titles. After this, he became a trader and healer for hire, but it is unknown whether or not he questions his faith or had faith to begin with. He has traveled far and wide all across Northrim and much of Achaea, trading many things, though he primarily deals in herbs, spices, and weeds, many of which are items only hill dwarves have much knowledge about. He also sells his ability to mend wounds and treat the ill.
+Fintan was born in the [[Dwaerrodowns]] and lived there for many years as a priest of [[Frigga]], performing rituals and tending the sick and wounded. Fintan doesn't disclose why, but he left his home suddenly and became a trader. He has traveled far and wide over Northrim and much of Achaea, primarily dealing in herbs, spices, medicines, and weeds, many of which are unique among the hill dwarves and unknown to [[Men]].
 ==Description==
-Given that his hair is stark white and his face is very aged, Fintan is clearly an extremely old dwarf. His white beard is not so long as to hang past his feet, however; in fact, he usually keeps it neatly trimmed to a reasonable length. He is very short, even for a dwarf, and his physique is not typical of his kind: he is weak and perhaps a little plump. A pair of blue eyes glowers out from beneath his bushy white eyebrows, and his face is heavily wrinkled: what creases are not from age and sun are from the scowls he so frequently wears. His voice is gravelly and guttural, assisted by the fact that he so often smokes, and the strong scent of his pipe and the various herbs he trades always lingers around him. Usually clad in simple attire, often wearing a broad hat, and frequently seen with a long pipe in his mouth, Fintan is a perfect example of a hill dwarf trader. He rides about in his wooden cart full of goods, which is pulled by his trusty donkey.
+With his stark white hair and aged features, Fintan must be an extremely old dwarf, though he doesn't disclose his age. His white beard is so long he tucks it into his belt, and he is already very short for a dwarf. Unusual for his kind, he is relatively skinny, though not to the point of feeling frail. He has blue eyes that glare from beneath bushy white eyebrows, and his face is heavily wrinkled from age and sun. He has a deep voice full of gravel, aided by his incessant smoking of pipe-weed, and smells always of herbs. He usually wears a broad, blue hat and nearly always has a long wooden pipe between his teeth.
 ==Personality==
-Fintan is best summed up as a grouchy old man. He hates being bothered by anyone, particularly someone who is not a paying customer, and he views people in general as arrogant and stupid. Staying true to Men’s concept of a typical dwarf, Fintan is greedy, grouchy, and he even hates elves. There is a heart hidden somewhere in him, however, for he retains his dwarven loyalty to his few friends - even if he is most likely going to complain the entire time he assists them. With a foul mouth, a foul temper easily triggered by his sensitivity, and a pessimistic attitude, Fintan is not the best of dwarves to be around. He frequently smacks the patients he heals if they struggle or complain while he does his work, although he actually does this more often to his friends than regular paying customers.
+Put simply, Fintan is a grouchy old man. He hates being bothered by anyone other than a well-paying customer, and he views humanity as arrogant and stupid, elves as arrogant and unapproachable, and his fellow dwarves (ironically) as swindlers. Despite his greed and grumpiness, there's a heart hidden somewhere in the old dwarf, and he retains the fabled dwarven loyalty to his few friends, no matter how much he complains incessantly when aiding them. With a foul mouth, a foul temper, and a foul attitude, Fintan isn't always the easiest to be around, particularly if one is a patient under his terrible bedside manner. If given enough motivation through money, drink, or genuine companionship, however, Fintan may even show a softer side.
