Background: Harval's parents were proud of him being a warrior and had him trained to be the best that there was. His capabilities with his axe kept getting better and better but once his family found out that he was gay he was stripped of his family name and cast out. Having nowhere else to go other than Dust Town, off to find the Army of the Dead or to the surface, Harval chose trying his luck on the crust of the world.

He went about killing bandits and Darkspawn, selling his abilities and just hanging about for the stone of it. One day he stopped off at The Crown and the Lion bar and was shown an interesting book which promised skills beyond his imagination. He was excited with this idea as he dreamed of redeeming himself in his family's eyes. When the bartender told him that he would give him the book if he got some dragon blood and went through the ritual which would give him these mystically tough abilities he did so. Being naive of magical properties of dragon blood he did what he was bade and found out afterward what exactly these skills would cost him, after the fact. He had now become a reaver and was unhappy with the idea.

Even though Harval did not appreciate being tricked into these skills and fought his way out of being forced to use the abilities for a cult, he used it when he did need it on his travels. He fought in Denerim during the blight and stuck around the area for the stone of it, sometimes living in town and sometimes hanging about outside of it.

Personality: This Dwarf has the normal boisterous attitude attributed to most of his kind except sometimes he can be quite flagrant in his attitude. He likes to hit on other men and tease them when they react and if any challenges he will fight. Either way he finds out if someone is interested in a good time or not. He's sweet on the ladies but not because he's interested in them. It is just the way he was brought up, to treat a lady with respect.

Weapons/Armor: Harval wears a black chainmail shirt that one can see through to his tattoos and heavy hide slacks and boots. He also has leather pauldrons and bracers. His weapon is a big axe he calls Nugsplitter.

Appearance: He is normal sized for a male Dwarf with dark brown, almost black hair, and a medium length black beard. His eyes are strangely purple and he has all his teeth (which he is proud of for some unknown reason). He has a tattoo on his left side, his left and right arms.
