Characters
Magic Craftsman
魔法工（ルーン工王）
One of the Thirteen Heroes / Runesmith King of the Dwarf KingdomThirteen HeroesDwarfUnknown
Personality
Devoted and vengeful: after the Evil Deities killed the royal family, he left the kingdom to hunt them down (some say this broke the dwarves' isolationist tradition; unverified).
Abilities
- A metalsmith and rune craftsman (some say his skill was outstanding; unverified)
- Once slew a great dragon single-handedly (unverified)
- He left carrying a war hammer engraved with six runes that could shake the earth, so the Dwarf Kingdom now has neither a royal family nor its national treasure
- Gondo Firebeard's grandfather was his right-hand man and chief rune craftsman (Vol. 11 p. 154)
History
- About 200 years ago, the Evil Deities attacked the Dwarf Kingdom, and he (the Runesmith King) was the only member of the royal family to survive
- Left the kingdom for revenge and joined the Thirteen Heroes (the Web novel's "Magic Craftsman" and the light novel's "Runesmith King" are considered the same person)
- Neither he nor the national treasure ever returned to the kingdom; he may have died in battle on his journey
- Mentioned as the "Magic Craftsman" of the Thirteen Heroes (Vol. 4 p. 323)
- Gondo told Ainz about his deeds (Vol. 11 p. 439 confirms that the Magic Craftsman and the Runesmith King should be the same person). Other sources say a Regency Council member compared Ainz, who had liberated the royal capital, to the Magic Craftsman (Vol. 11; unverified)
Trivia
His departure formally ended the Dwarf Kingdom's long isolation (unverified).
Relationships
- Gondo Firebeard: His grandfather was the Runesmith King's right-hand man and chief rune craftsman (Vol. 11 p. 154); some say Gondo saw the king in person (unverified). In Vol. 11, Gondo told Ainz of the king's deeds
- Ainz Ooal Gown: Liberated the Dwarf Kingdom's royal capital in Vol. 11; other sources say a Regency Council member compared Ainz to the Magic Craftsman (unverified)
