Description: Tough as a mountain, canny as a fox, and possessing a sadistic cruelty usually reserved for duergar, Obmi is the eldest, as well as the mind and heart of the Bronzeknuckle brothers.

Though his red hair is going gray at the temples and at his beard just under the lip, Obmi is spry and sharp. Though always smiling (even when twisting arms and breaking bones) and often charming, the dwarf 's gray eyes are hard and cold, hinting at his true nature.

Obmi carries himself like a dwarven lord, and when he is in a foul mood he makes those around
him address him as such, even his brothers. The title and whatever story of noble heritage he entertains in his sick mind is a delusion on Obmi's part. Truth be told, the Bronzeknuckle family is as lowborn as a dwarven clan can be.
