A retired dwarven hero who served as a general in a war against the Northern Steppes. During that war he lost his arm while defending a human child, after the battle the child's father - Gwyn Cadarn - crafted him a new arm of enchanted metal.
At some point Thaddeus also lost his eye and replaced it with a magical gemstone though the exact story changes every time he tells it.
- Shot in the eye by an elven assassin, pulled the arrow out and used it to kill the assassin.
- Bet his eye in a gamble against a powerful Necromancer; he lost the bet but killed the Necromancer for the gem to replace it.
- Gouged out his own eye in a quick thinking move to prevent slow painful petrification by a medusa.
Thaddeus is retired now and has spent the past few decades running the Bargewright Inn in Bumbleton, though he loves the tavern he loves his daughter more and is taking Hilvera Bargewright back to the Unknown.
