Borkel Hardknuckles, dwarven monk
Throughout the way, Borkel makes sure to stay close to Tumna, in a protective fashion. When that thin guy makes improper comments to Tumna, Borkel looks at him with an intimidating stare, flexing the muscles of his rather large arms and bare chest, and tells the guy to just go away.
Later, seeing what Bru's "house" looks like, Borkel is filled with a heavy dose of compassion. He turns to his companions and says.
"I think we should not be too hard on this Bru fellow. He obviously has not had an easy life. Some people are not as lucky as others, you know. If he stole that thing, whatever it was, it could just be to feed his family. I say we act respectfully and try to do the right thing, here."
