Appearance:

Kitas is a short man in late middle age. He is balding and has a tidy white beard. He walks with a noticeable limp from a leg that had to be partially amputated when he was younger.

Interaction:

Kitas will be polite but will be suspicious of the players. He will be willing to answer their questions if they are respectful but will become hostile if pressed too hard. If he thinks they're compulsive liars, he will kick them out even if he is helpful. He is unwilling to tell the players very much about his past or his work. He is a stickler for rules.

Background:

Kitas comes from a line of blacksmiths. His grandfather and father were both blacksmiths, his brother was a blacksmith and his son is a blacksmith. Kitas, however, was not a great blacksmith. He was a decent blacksmith, but never made anything that stood out. When he was younger, he was in a horrible accident. He was working in the forge when a grinding wheel exploded, nearly severing his leg. He was in a coma for two weeks and they had to cut off his leg. He was fitted with a wooden leg and returned to work. He never made anything close to the same quality that he had before, and he never made anything that he was that passionate about. He retired five years ago and has lived alone since his wife died ten years ago.

Combat / Skills:

Kitas is a skilled blacksmith. He's able to repair armor and weapons that he is familiar with. He can repair armor and weapons to their former quality. He's also able to create masterwork items of great quality. He is a mediocre enemy of the undead, and a masterful user of tactics.
