Magic Craftsman
One of the Thirteen Heroes / Rune Craft King of the dwarf kingdom · Thirteen Heroes · Dwarf · Lv Unknown
Personality
Devoted and vengeful: after the Demon Gods killed the royal family, he left the kingdom to hunt them down (some say this broke the dwarves' isolationist tradition, unverified).
Abilities
- A metal smith and rune craftsman (some say his skill was outstanding, unverified)
- Once slew a great dragon single-handedly (unverified)
- Left carrying a war hammer engraved with six runes that could shake the earth, so the dwarf kingdom now has neither a royal family nor its national treasure
- Gondo Firebeard's grandfather was his right-hand man and chief rune craftsman (Vol. 11 p. 154)
History
- About 200 years ago the Demon Gods attacked the dwarf kingdom, and of the royal family only he (the Rune Craft King) survived
- Left the kingdom for revenge and joined the Thirteen Heroes (the Web novel's "Magic Craftsman" and the light novel's "Rune Craft King" are considered the same person)
- Neither he nor the national treasure ever returned to the kingdom; he may have died in battle on his journey
- Vol. 4 (p. 323): Mentioned as the "Magic Craftsman" of the Thirteen Heroes
- Vol. 11: Gondo tells Ainz about his deeds (Vol. 11 p. 439 confirms that the Magic Craftsman and the Rune Craft King should be the same person); other sources say a Regency Council member compared Ainz, who liberated the royal capital, to the Magic Craftsman (unverified)
Trivia
His departure formally ended the dwarf kingdom's long isolation (unverified).
