Fruin

Fruin is the youngest of Gain's grandchildren. His beard barely reaches the top of his belt, and then only if he hunches over. He makes up for his youth, though, by being utterly duplicitous. A greedy creature, Fruin walks around with the glint of gold in his eyes. Two years ago, his grandfather arranged for the lad to work beside him as a guard of the Khazad's treasures. Since then, his only thought has been making off with as much of the collected wealth as he can possibly gather. While much younger than Gain, Fruin is more than his grandfather's equal in treachery and deviousness. Although Gain believes that the idea to rob the Dwarven horde is his own, it was planted in his head by his grandson. Fruin is more than happy to allow the old warder to believe he is the mastermind behind the plot. That way, if something untoward should occur during the raid, Fruin can deny all knowledge of the scheme. He plans to blame the entire affair upon a deluded old Dwarfs fevered dreams. Whenever he gets his way, Fruin is a pleasant, almost oily Dwarf; however, when matters turn against him, his manner turns surly and hostile. He has little or no sense of honor. Fruin always pushes any advantage he has to its outer limit, and he is not above using horrible and cruel means to satisfy his ends. This amoraltty enables him to hatch his nefarious conspiracies. It is a trait that becomes painfully obvious whenever he manages to get an upper hand.
