Ogden Stonehealer

Ogden Stonehealer is a Dwarf monk hero in Eye of the North.

Lore
From the manual:
 * ''Ogden's talent as a healer surfaced early in life, marking him as a chosen of the Great Dwarf from a very young age. As a child, he had the uncommon ability to cheer his fellow Dwarves with simple things: a helping hand to those in need, a kind word to ease suffering. He was a boon to his family and a blessing to his friends. Yet as he grew older, the very gift that set him apart became a burden to the young Dwarf. Empathy can be terrible, and it is a cruel thing on the battlefield. Ogden has retreated into himself, hiding within a shell of determination as strong as mountain rock.
 * Ogden is loyal to his Deldrimor king and is a true believer in the Great Dwarf. He knows the ancient prophecies of the Great Destroyer, having studied them from childhood, and there are few Dwarves alive who understand their implications quite as well. He realizes the enemy has come at last—fighting in the depths of the earth, boiling up in great numbers, freed by the recent earthquakes. His goal is to fight them, and he will—with any resources available ...until the last Dwarf falls on the battlefield.

Trivia

 * Ogden is an English surname, which means "oak valley" in Old English.
 * The quote "For Jalis! For the Deldrimor! For the Dwarves!" is a tribute to an advert heard in Neocron which said "For Reza! For Neocron! For the People!".
 * The quote "How do you know you haven't met a female dwarf? Eh? Eh?" may refer to various sources that say that female dwarves look very much like the males, even growing beards.
 * The quote "Blood has been spilled this day; a red sun will dawn come morn." is possibly a reference to a quote from the movie adaptation of Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers, in which Legolas says "A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night".
