Dadtim the Younger

This article is a stub. Please help us out by contributing more to this article.

One of the Tragidore orphans, original member of The Stand, and lifelong best friend of Alexandria.

The only Dwarf in Tragidore, nephew and apprentice to his uncle of the same name (Dadtim the Elder), a Dwarven exile that took up trade as the blacksmith for the village of Tragidore.

According to his Testimonial, which is the only source of information about Alexandria's early life, the younger Dadtim developed much more slowly than the human children of the community, and he was subjected to cruel taunts and bullying. Alexandria, herself an outsider due to her status as orphan ward of a retired adventurer, frequently defended Dadtim against his tormentors. They quickly developed a near-sibling bond.

When the possessed Arek began to kidnap the village children for the Black Wyrm of the Earth, Dadtim was not taken. Instead, he secretly followed The Stand into the swamps on the errand that ended in the razing of Tragidore.

He followed Alexandria unhesitatingly, but was not allowed to go to the West with her for reasons never fully explained.

Although probably the equivalent of a fourteen or fifteen year old human, Dadtim carried a full share of the war effort. During the Prophet's War, he oversaw training and equipping of new recruit for the entire decade of Alexandria's sojourn. Upon her return, he argued most passionately that her followers should return to her banner. From that moment, he only left her side once: The night Alexandria and Sayid spent negotiating for Petara's support.

He was the first to learn of Alexandria's plan for planar convergence. This was, in fact, the genesis of the first Testimonial that would eventually become the first book in the Canon of Orthodoxy.

Dadtim died at Alexandria's side, killed by the Martyrdom Blast that destroyed the Dark Fiend and sent the Omnity beyond the veil.
