This is his story (to the best of his knowledge)
Deep in the mines. That's where Firebeard was born. It is not a place where a Dwarf should be born. Yet born he was, right before an arrow pierced his mother's heart. His parents were part of a religious sect that decried the xenophobic and intolerant tendencies of the other Dwarves. Alas, the others feared this sect precisely because of those beliefs. They were accused of attacking an ambassador from another Dwarven clan and decided to run rather than face the consequences. Right after Firebeard was born, his mother died. His father scooped his son up, put him on his shoulder, and ran as fast as any Dwarf could run. He eventually settled in Port Silver, where he quietly opened a forge. It was here that he taught his son everything. Soon, however, he fell in love with a human woman. It was not long before other Dwarves found out about his love for the human. The boy's father was thrown in the dungeons and the woman moved on after "swearing" she did not love him. The boy, Firebeard, ran his father's forge as best he could. But his best wasn't enough, for he could not surpass his father's spoiled reputation.

The business slowly declined, but a new darkness spread through Port Silver. Soon, the entire town was destroyed and Firebeard was forced to flee. Having lost everything and possessing no knowledge of where other dwarves are, he roamed Altera, searching for his kind and living off the land. He eventually found them, but struggled to integrate into Dwarven society due to his unique physical attributes. He left, again with nothing, and returned to the Crossroads.

He has a renewed determination to learn the fate of his father and begin to thrive as an engineer and smith. Only time will tell whether he will succeed or fail.

Update: Whilst begging, Firebeard met Mila, who gave him food, then paid for his trip to Dusk Port. Firebeard likes Mila, for she then gave him steak and promised him a home and a job. Who knows what happens next?

Firebeard is afraid of horses. He also found out that although he cannot swim, he loves being out on the water. Mila gave him a small boat and he had a blast rowing it around.

Firebeard met Dr. Gustav, who showed him Thiil and placed him in his own home. He also met Athryl, who gave him directions to Irrncrawn. In the meantime, he returned to Dusk, where he assisted with the construction of a new building.

He has started to be drawn both by finding his father and settling down. A small part of him is also rejecting the idea of settling down, since he's been a beggar for so long.

*Note: I am writing this in third person for now because Firebeard is illiterate, but I want to keep track of his adventures and I'm hoping other people may take an interest in his activities. If it is in first person, I will make note of it in the beginning.

Also, I owe a favor to Brian and Tybalt.

You owe me nothing ;)

Mila has given Firebeard a forge, located at Dusk Port. He is enthralled by her generosity, despite the fact that she's not a Dwarf. Firebeard is now being tugged between two paths: finding his father and settling down.

In an interesting twist... Firebeard discovered he knows nearly nothing about forging. He should have paid closer attention to his dad. Mila asked him to make a dwarven pickaxe and he has no idea how to make one. So he is contemplating running away from Dusk Port, despite everything Mila has done for him. It appears that searching for his dad may win out after all.
