“Big meal, big deal. Great profit, giant prize. With Clamak, you get grand surprise. Vroom vroom.”
- - Big Beard Clamak
Big Beard Clamak is the leader of the Kyrsacov and a high-ranking individual in the Northern Vermin Kingdom, being a close ally of the Vermin King. A man-sized wall of pure muscle and hair, Clamak is among the friendliest of his people and embodies the best qualities of the Under Dwarf folk, including a love for alcohol, a love for fighting huge cave monstrosities and a love for a beard so big his face cannot be seen under it.
A self-proclaimed wheel dealer, Clamak is eager to meet new faces and even more eager to try and deal with them, not for profit but for his own amusement. However, he should not be underestimated for despite his welcoming behavior, he is well known for being able to chop a fulled armored man in half with one swing of his gigantic greataxe.
History[]
Clamak was born at 453 BNA, being the son of the previous ruler of the Kyrsacov, Big Beard Glamak. He was, since an young age, trained to fight and be as strong as his father was, for he would lead the Kursacov on his passing. At the age of 62, Clamak witnessed his father being mauled to death by a Dwarf Mauler, and following his, he was crowned as leader of the Kyrsacov territories. Clamak responded by hunting down the Màlh-Thaduorn who killed his father, chopping its legs off and crafting a mug out of its cranial bones, this item being on his possession ever since. Clamak prospered as leader of the Kyrsacov, and some years after being made ruler, he encountered the Vermin King and decided to aid the Terefah race for feeling empathy for them. Clamak was made a high-ranking commander of the Northern Vermin Kingdom, and thanks to this, Kyrsacov and Terefah now live closely with each other in mutual cooperation.
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Clamak appears as a typical member of the Kyrsacov race, sporting a dwarven, bulky body build with his skin completely covered in armor and clothing. His head is completely obscured by an extremely thick beard, and his eyes are made invisible due to his helmet, which only possesses a small opening. According to Clamak himself, the opening's main function is to allow his drink to reach his mouth, not breathing. Clamak's helmet differs from usual Kyrsacov crafts for possessing pointed horns on it, typical to a Kyrsacov ruler.
Personality[]
Clamak is noted for being an extremely welcoming individual for all races, be them men, dragons or beastmen. He has an innate lack of fear of the unknown, meaning he is not afraid of venturing into unknown locations or meeting strangers, being eager to make friends with them. Clamak enjoys seeing himself as a wheeler dealer and sometimes tries making commerce with strangers for the sake of seeing how much he can profit out of it. Clamak's welcoming attitude annoys the Vermin King, as he allows strangers passage into the Vermin Kingdom without the King's permission. Clamak is said to be nigh impossible to truly anger, with the most possible negative response from him being mild annoyance.
Abilities[]
Clamak's battle experience and long age make him the most powerful of all Kyrsacov and one of the Vermin Kingdom's greatest warriors. He is considered inhumanly strong even by Kyrsacov standards, and can swing his immense Kyrsacov battleaxe with enough strength to destroy boulders. Clamak has been bitten and chewed by Màlh-Thaduorn in the past and survived, and at one occasion, he managed to hold the mouth of a Dwarven Mauler open with his bare hands. Despite all this strength, though, Clamak is not an educated individual and therefore is not especially intelligent, and due to his friendly personality, he can be quite gullible.

Quotes[]
“Ah, Clamak. Yes, there is quote a lot to say about this one. As lacking of wit as he is, he is far from even mildly unpleasant and I enjoy attending what weekly parties he's planned on short notice whenever I can. And that beard...”
