Of course, such wealth attracts envy and he becomes the target of the Stone Bank.

!!Sizra
A dwarf priest exorcist of the Order of the Temple, who gives sermons, helps his community but more importantly, performs exorcisms to banish demons possessing the inhabitants of Arran. In his youth, one demon promised to possess him and has haunted him ever since, but Sizra manages to banish him. He makes an appearance in the Elfes series, giving shelter to Ilaw.
* BadassPreacher: Sizra is an exorcist of the Order of the temple. Thus he is fully trained in the art of fighting to dominate people possessed by a demon.
* CoolOldGuy : Sizra’s introductory tome has him being a stern exorcist, but the years or perhaps solitude have softened him as he welcomes Ilaw and tries to mentor him, lightening up their moments together.
* CordonBleughChef: At least with Ilaw reacting badly to Sizra’s bean and lard fricassee, it seems to indicate Sizra is not the best of chefs.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Sizra has three clawing scars on his forehead, inflicted when the demon Ar’Az’erm attacked him first when he was as a child.
* FaceYourFears: The first part of his training was to not dominate his fears but confront his fears of demons in a way that he would acknowledge them but not let them overwhelm him.
* FailureGambit: Sizra allows himself to be possessed by Ar’Az’erm to lure him into a place of power where Aral can exorcise him for good.
* HeroicWillpower: The exorcist training allowed Sizra to develop a mental fortitude that would prove even stronger than the will of a greater demon of Hej, allowing him to subsist even after being possessed. Sizra can control his fears, accept the inevitability of things and never lets despair overtake him.
* ISeeDeadPeople: Sizra is able to see ghosts and even converse with them.
* ItsPersonal: Ar’Az’erm is his personal enemy ever since the demon killed all his childhood friends.
* OldSoldier: Sizra is already greying in his introductory volume and survives to become so old he must retire from exorcist work. Instead he guards sacred ruins and repels a horde of ghouls by himself.
* OneManArmy: Volume 17 of Elfes reveals that Sizra has been repelling a whole army of ghouls by himself from the ruins he guards. Yes, Sizra managed to cover the land in ghouls, who need a single bite to convert someone, and Sizra came back unscathed.
* RetiredBadass: By Elfes Volume 17, Sizra is retired as an exorcist and must guards sacred places instead. His job proved to be more eventful than predicted when an army of ghouls came, but he handled it.
* TookALevelInKindness: In his introductory volume Sizra is quite stern and cold to everyone, but as of Elfes Volume 17, his solitude bears so much on him that he becomes quite friendly to Ilaw.

!!Torun
!!Kardum
Kardum is the most prominent weapons dealer and forger of Arran, selling well-made weapons and tools or war of all sorts to everyone in the world. Nonetheless, this Dwarf of the Talion is unaffiliated with the higher-ups of his order, such as the Stone Bank, and has managed to rise and lift the Brass city-forge with him with his wits, financial acumen, and the help of his loyal company. Of course, such wealth attracts envy and he becomes the target of the Stone Bank.
* ArmsDealer: Kardum Is the most prominent weapons dealer of Arran. Part of his success is that he is willing to sell to anyone (he does pick the factions but not the races), even Orcs, while other Dwarfs didn’t want on that, fully exploiting a neglected market.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He secured the loyalty of his employees by starting to treat them well and continuing to do so during their employ. For instance, his accountant Jarm performs a HeroicSacrifice of a sort because Kardum never saw him as less than an essential part of the company.
* BenevolentBoss: By his own words, Kardum treats his employees as one big family, considering each of them brothers and listening to their problems while doing something about them. Thus, as he puts it, “they own him more than a salary”. Not only does he have their loyalty, he manages to convince them to move out their operation to another spot when the Stone Bank takes over the Brass City-Forge.
* BodyguardBabes: Kardum is constantly flanked by two elves bodyguards, Scily and Laiss. He gets the best of two worlds since they are deadly and loyal fighters since he saved their lives, and they are gorgeous women who are jealous lovers too.
* GuileHero: Kardum is no swordsman at all (though he won’t back down from a scuffle) and his greatest asset is his financial acumen allowing him to become the foremost arms dealer in Arran.
* HotBloodedSideburns: He sports these, although his awesomess doesn’t stem from any fighting ability.
* InterspeciesRomance: Kardum is lover with his elven bodyguards. Also, he’s pretty much stuck with them since Scili and Laiss kill anyone who looks at Kardum funnily.
* MoneyIsNotPower: Kardum doesn’t hold money in high regards and sees it as a means to an end. He is generous, if not spendthrift with his gold by Dwarfen standards, but it gives him most higher-ups of the order of the Talion don’t have, the loyalty of his employees. When the Stone Bank makes a move and buys off the city-forge and furnaces Kardum has been using as a base, Kardum manages to convince nearly every worker in the city to go away with him and start over a new forge.
* NiceToTheWaiter: How he treats everyone in his company.
* RagsToRiches: When he first came to the Brass City-Forge, he had 50 coins to his name, a lifetime of savings his father had. Nowadays, he will spend hundreds of thousands of coins without a second thought.
* SmokingIsCool: He smokes a lot of cigars and looks awesome doing so because he’s one of the best businessmen of Arran.
!!Fey
Fey is the First Captain of the Iron Legion, a fierce warrior who commands the respect of the entire legion despite the Dwarfs' sexism. Interestingly, Fey is born from the Order of the Temple, having interrupted a promising career as an engineer to flee her hometown and enlisting in the Legion. Fey eventually comes back to see the whole region slowly falling into decrepitude because of many disasters and decides to rebuild an ancient broken bridge to connect her city to the land.
* ActionGirl: Fey is one of the most fearsome fighters of the Iron Legion.
* DreadlockWarrior: Her hair is tied into dreadlocks.
* TheEngineer: Fey's best talent is actually her affinity with engineering. Thanks to notes left by her father and a competent team, she manages to rebuild a brige crossing a bottomless and winding ravine in the span of several months only.
* PregnantBadass: Being heavily pregnant doesn't prevent her from fighting at the front line when a band of orcs threatens the construction site.
* RetiredBadass: Fey eventually settles down from her mercenary work to raise her child.
* TraumaticCSection: Fey is stabbed in the stomach while heavily pregnant by a jealous engineer of the temple, but thankfully she and the baby survive.

* SavagePiercings: Among other things that contribute to his savage appearance is his earrings and proeminent nose ring.

* ArmsDealert: Kardum Is the most prominent weapons dealer of Arran. Part of his success is that he is willing to sell to anyone (he does pick the factions but not the races), even Orcs, while other Dwarfs didn’t want on that, fully exploiting a neglected market.
* BadassBeard: A surprising aversion of usual Dwarf depiction in fiction. Kardum is clean shaven but is one hell of a businessman, able to outwit even the Lords of the Stone Bank.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He secured the loyalty of his employees by starting to treat them well and continuing to do so during their employ. For instance, his accountant Jarm performs a HeroicSacrifice of a sort because Kardum never saw him as less than an essential part of the company.
* BenevolentBoss: By his own words, Kardum treats his employees as one big family, considering each of them brothers and listening to their problems while doing something about them. Thus, as he puts it, “they own him more than a salary”. Not only does he have their loyalty, he manages to convince them to move out their operation to another spot when the Stone Bank takes over the Brass City-Forge.
* BodyguardBabes: Kardum is constantly flanked by two elves bodyguards, Scily and Laiss. He gets the best of two worlds since they are deadly and loyal fighters since he saved their lives, and they are gorgeous women who are jealous lovers too.

He is generous, if not spendthrift with his gold by Dwarfen standards, but it gives him most higher-ups of the order of the Talion don’t have, the loyalty of his employees. When the Stone Bank makes a move and buys off the city-forge and furnaces Kardum has been using as a base, Kardum manages to convince nearly every worker in the city to go away with him and start over a new forge.
* NiceToTheWaiter: How he treats everyone in his company.
