Veit Rummenheim

Veit Rummenheim began his life as the scion of a master stonecutter in the dwarven Underhold of Agmundir. As a journeyman, Veit was blamed for an accident that killed a dozen apprentices and fled a scandal that would have tarnished the reputation of his entire family, exiling himself to the surface.

New to the surface world of Malex, Veit proved himself as a skilled warrior, but the young dwarf was drawn to Victor. A half-century ago he partook in the Festival of Excelsion, where he was crowned Champion every year for a decade. He developed something of a lavish lifestyle, and was soon forced to pick up less than savoury mercenary work to pay off debts.

Veit was hired on to fight in the War of the Red Hand, but the carnage he witnessed during the campaign left him broken. He turned from Champion to drunk and vagabond, taking on mercenary work whenever he could sober up long enough to fight. Eventually he began to enter into the Championship once again, and was accepted every year to the surprise of everyone, although he never completed a single game, and was seen as an amusement or nuisance.
