Overseer Bram Stonefist

Overseer Bram Stonefist
Overseer Bram Stonefist is the younger, more hot-headed brother of Brak Stonefist. While Brak focuses on the grand fortifications of Steamfort, Bram is responsible for the grueling day-to-day operations of the Iron-Vein Mines. He is a dwarf of massive proportions, his skin permanently stained with coal dust and stone grit. Bram is known for his "hands-on" leadership style, often joining his crews at the rock face when a particularly stubborn vein of ore needs to be cracked.
Unlike his brother, Bram is more open to using experimental equipment if it means meeting his production quotas. He has a rough rapport with his miners, who respect his willingness to share their burdens, but his temper is as short as a blasting fuse when efficiency drops or safety protocols are ignored.
Secret Motivation: Bram has discovered a hidden cavern deep within the mines that contains ancient, non-dwarven technology. He has been secretly harvesting "living metal" from this cavern and selling it to the Gear Grinders to pay off a massive gambling debt he owes to the Gilded Hand.
Adventure Hook: A series of unexplained "accidents" has shut down a critical section of the mines. Bram hires the party to investigate the lower levels, claiming "sabotage," while secretly hoping they eliminate the strange, crystalline creatures that have begun emerging from his hidden cavern.
