Hagrael Wyrmcleaver

Hagrael Wyrmcleaver, son of Ludrog of Clan Ironmountain, is a "legendary warrior and Runeblade" of the exiled dwarves of Dru'Bazan in the Fifth Age. He "struck down a raiding Black dragon" and serves as bodyguard and general to the king-in-exile, Volgin Trollmane (S319).

Volgin's sword

The dwarves who still call themselves Dru'Bazan "dream of returning to their ancestral holds in the Blue Mountains, but live scattered across the kingdoms" under Volgin, "anointed by Khardas", who has been gathering mercenaries and dwarves to clear one of the southernmost holds and travels the kingdoms for recruits and funds (S319). Hagrael stands at his side with Ranog Demonbane, the king's right hand, and the runesmith Kaelin Stonewright III, his advisor (S319). A campaign note calls him Volgin's cousin as well as his bodyguard, "a famous Runeblade, dragon slayer" (S125).

A hidden son

Hagrael is secretly the father of one of the party of the Sancturi Campaign, a dwarven monster hunter raised as the son of another. The secret is his mother's to tell, and the son "may never find this out, as it requires his mother's favor" (S125). The campaign's first concept for the character calls him the "bastard love child of [a] Khardas/Riven loyalist" and a mother who worships the Sancturi gods and Namaka (S132).

Gap

No source names the dragon Hagrael slew, says where, or names the mother of his son.
