Personality: Embry is a quiet, reserved man. He'd rather be productive then chatty. He either is hunting for food for the Skaal, Smithing new weapons and armor, either for trade or use by the Skaal, or trading his wares, often making monthly trips to Raven Rock. Embry often thinks things through before making a decision, he looks at all of his options, and he'll make the one that benefits the village.
Embry's mother was a skooma addict, and she had sex with her dealer for her next drink. The child that was conceived that night, was Embry. She followed through the pregnancy, but gave up on him when he was born. A Skaal that was venturing through Skyrim at the time found him, and took him in. They travelled back to Solstheim. The Skaal man named the boy Embry.
When they returned to the village, the Skaal treated Embry like their own, bringing him up in the way a Skaal child would be brought up. He was taught to hunt, and to make makeshift shelters, he was also taught a magic spell, but he didn't follow magic through, as he preferred to fight enemies with physical objects. However, he was most interested in the arts of Smithing. He spent a great deal of time around the forge, watching the smith at work. During Embry's teen years, he started to apprentice under the smith. And he was damn good at it too.
Embry was given a puppy to look after, and he cherished the dog like he would a child. He named the husky Elgrim, the name of a scholar that was staying with the Skaal at the time, whom Embry spent a deal of time with. Elgrim, the dog, was trained to assist Embry in whatever he could, be it grabbing items, helping hunt, or providing comfort, Elgrim looked after Embry, and Embry looked after Elgrim.
He spent years honing his smithing art, and during the Smith's latter years, he passed on the secret of smithing with Stalhrim, but Embry has only smithed a single Stalhrim item, an axe for a rich Nord that was brought to Solstheim by the lure of treasure and adventure. Embry also became proficient at hunting, be it with sword or bow, he can handle mostly anything on the island, barring a few exceptions.
He doesn't know that he is an orphan, he believes that he is 100% Skaal, but he's far from it.
