Cobalt Frosthammer, a middle-aged dwarf with a robust build, stands at a mere four feet tall, yet his presence commands attention in any room. His hazel eyes, sharp and discerning, seem to miss nothing, while his black hair, streaked with silver, is often tied back in a neat ponytail that reaches his broad shoulders. Cobalt's face, weathered by years of adventuring and trading, bears the scars of battles fought in distant lands, yet his smile remains warm and inviting, a testament to his welcoming nature.
Once a formidable fighter, Cobalt now channels his energy into his thriving bookshop, 'The Tome's Trove,' nestled in the bustling market district of Ironforge. His shop, a haven for bibliophiles, is filled with the musty scent of old parchment and the faint aroma of the tea he so dearly loves. Cobalt's passion for books, particularly the elusive Nancy Drew mysteries, drives him to scour the realms for rare editions, his ultimate goal to complete his collection.
Despite his merchant life, Cobalt's heart still yearns for adventure. Occasionally, he dons his old armor, a beautifully crafted set of mithril with intricate engravings, and sets out with a band of like-minded adventurers. These excursions not only satisfy his wanderlust but also serve as opportunities to find the books he seeks.
Cobalt's unique quirk is his preference for tall women, a trait that often leads to amusing situations given his own stature. His love for tea is another constant in his life, often seen sipping from a delicate porcelain cup even in the midst of chaos.
The conflicts in Cobalt's life stem from the rarity of the books he seeks and the dangers he faces on his adventures. Yet, his determination and resourcefulness always see him through, whether it's negotiating with a stubborn seller or outsmarting a cunning foe. His journey, a blend of commerce and adventure, is fueled by his love for literature and the thrill of the unknown, culminating in a life rich with stories, both read and lived.
