Baylon the Beardless

Bailon the Beardless (a chaotic good male hill dwarf veteran) is the unofficial elder of Deepdelver’s Enclave. Bailon lost his hair and beard when he accidentally set off an explosive runes spell many years ago. Though long since healed, he liked the look and kept it. Bailon is highly respected in Deepdelver’s Enclave. His skills at delving into the ancient ruins within Blackclaw Mountain are legendary, as is the gleam in his eye when he sets his sights on new discoveries. Bailon is often found sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard of the Dragon’s Fangs common house, a pipe in his mouth, a cup of coffee in one hand, and his staff in the other. That weapon is a staff of striking he calls “the old man,” carved with the visage of a bearded dwarf at its head. It’s said that Bailon often speaks to the staff, though whether it responds remains to be known.
