Falin

Falin is a relatively young Dwarf. He wears his golden hair long, and he stuffs the end of his beard (m a single, intricate braid interwoven with strands of pure mithril) into his belt. As a rule, he wears blue, a color he associates with the legendary Dwarven heroes of the past. Falin is considered handsome, and nearly any female Khazad would consider him quite a catch. Although he has yet to marry, he has many prospects. The youthful warrior absolutely refuses to settle down until he has managed to meet his goal of leading the Dwarven army into battle against some worthy foe. To this end, Falin quickly worked his way up through the ranks, until he was named a general of the Khazad army. Bain appointed him as one of Hadhodrond's three Unit-lords—unaware of Falin's true purpose. As it is, the Dwarf-king remains blissfully unaware of the "asp he holds in his pocket." Once confirmed as a Dwarven war-lord, Falin set about breeding dissent with the King. Soon, he had most of the younger leaders dissatisfied with their lot in life. They became resentful of the fact that Bain had never given them a chance to prove their mettle as warriors. Falin used this discontent to encourage over a dozen of Khazaddum's twenty-one Attack-lords to swear fealty to him instead of the King Under the Mountain.
