Dagen Underthorn

 is a dwarven explorer hired to escort the party on Foren. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.



Appearance
Dagen is an extremely grizzled-looking male dwarf, his face a mess of tanned, leathery skin framed by a mane of jet-black hair that tumbles thick past his shoulders meshing with a rats' nest of a beard. Tattoos wrap his arms extending under his sleeves. He moves via an intricate chair of scuffed metal and wood with slanted wheels on its side. There are numerous tools and plates bolted onto it.

He carries a battle-axe that has a massive thick leather hilt and a dark metal blade that he named Sheila.

Personality
Oweda described him as "a beast" who had been up and down most parts of Foren, but was respected. She would want him on her side in a battle.

Background
Dagen has suggested that he is a native of Uthodurn. His combat wheelchair is of Uthodurnian make.

The Mighty Nein and Vess DeRogna met up with Dagen in Balenpost. He and the Mighty Nein set out into the interior of Foren the next day after the Nein told him they were to meet DeRogna later following her murder.

Relationships
Jester believed Dagen may have once loved someone named Sheila since he named his battle-axe Sheila. When she mentioned this theory to Dagen, he did not respond and went very quiet.
