Characters:Waste's Edge:Fingolson

A middle aged Dwarf and very traditional even for dwarvish standards. His position as trader he owes to his father who thought this would be a better life for his son, than working in the mines, and how could a upright dwarf disobey an elders direction. But instead of making Bjarn more open for different ways of life, he became rather more traditional, as if to protect himself from bad influences of the world outside the mines. He absolutely disapproves the use, Elves put to the gems and ores they buy of him and other Dwarves, and finally the idea grew in him that he ought to do something against it. As a regular visitor of the trading hub, he carved out a niche behind a shelf in 'his' room and installed a mechanism that allowed him to slide the shelf without leaving any suspicious marks on the rooms floor. Into that niche, he then his his gems, apart from those he put into Lady Silverhairs bedroom. When talked to by the player, he appears to be deeply hurt from this assault and he shows little comprehension for the player's investigation. Both the theft, and the player's questions, are a personal insult to him. All in all, he's quite difficult to deal with, although in a weak moment, he might complain a bit about his hard life and unloved occupation. Not enough to act as a hint, but it can foreshadow his motive that will be fully revealed when all is solved.
