Gur
Female chaotic-neutral dwarven thief (9) / fighter(2) with hat (see below)
Str. 15 Int. 11 Wis. 8 Dex. 16 (+1 from gloves of dexterity) Con. 16 Cha. 10
Ragged looking dwarf wearing magic leather armor obtained through a test from Priests of Mythra. Fights double-handed, short sword + long sword, thaco penalty modified by gloves of dexterity. Carries rope for various rope tricks and a secret set of thieving tools, usually not found by those who imprison her. Great singing voice (at least better than Liten's); composed the now famous ballad "Why Eorl Is a Jerk".
Owner of a Hat of Constant Change found in a Dungeon under Magnesia. This hat allows the wearer to become a different class (and to earn experience in that class) while wearing the hat. The character can become of any class that he/she would have the prerequisites for otherwise, so for example, Gur, being a dwarf, cannot be a mage, even while wearing the hat. It is also fortunate that Gur's wisdom is only 8, because one of the quirks of the hat is that for those who can become clerics (wisdom 9 and above) have no choice in what class they are while wearing the hat and automatically become a cleric of the earth goddess (near whose statue we found the hat).
Proficiencies include: Appraising, Forgery, Rope Use, Set Snares, Tumbling
Thief skills are mainly focused on reading random languages, climbing, and traps. Combined with the Set Snares proficiency, it's not a bad deal. Not very good at detecting noise and picking pockets.

Grew up underneath a mountain in the North among other dwarves. Got bored and left to live a life of an adventurer. Has aspirations of being a fighter. A bit of a drunk (mainly due to witnessing her sweetheart's head explode upon viewing a nymph).
Speaks Norse. Currently learning Arabic (and Latin after that).
