First he moved around Arvum, seeking out other smiths to learn his trade and then he took a ship out to explore more of what he could find in the rest of the wide world. Now he has returned home to Arx, ready to help his family and make his mark.

Otto is an unassuming man, often covered in the soot of his trade. His clothing is often stained with the soot and singed with holes from errant sparks of the forge. He is strong, but unassuming in his own way. But he is quick to smile and easier to laugh. Despite his age, his dark hair is already peppered with a silver gray that sets off his eyes rather nicely.

Otto is a cheerful man who enjoys his work. He is happiest when he is working in his forge, but when he is pulled clear he is personable and friendly. He is curious about things related to his work and will strike up conversations with any other crafter to talk about their work and their inspiration.
