Let's Burn Up a Character

I'll make up some elaborations on some of Agent's answers.

No filth, though he has before.

When he traveling as a wordbearer, he'd often be living penniless and on his wits. So when he wasn't sleeping out in the bush, he'd be put up in a stable or something like that when he couldn't afford rent.

Who knows? Maybe...

One time while tinkering, he blew a finger off his left hand in an unfortunate pottery accident. He sort of sowed it back on himself, but it sort of fell off later. Fortunately his dwarfy immune system shrugged off any infections that might have drifted by.
Got hit up a few times by bandits while wordbearing. He got cut up pretty bad, but nothing life-threatening.
Also nearly got killed by an arrow while horncalling. Stuck straight in the gut. Took the surgeon forever to get it out. The damn thing nearly destroyed his liver, which is of course a dwarf's only vital organ.

Athletic as can be.

Despite being a horncaller, he still had to do physical training exercises to keep up with the regiment. He keeps up with these physical exercises, partly out of habit and partly because he likes being fit.
He can distance-walk like nobody's business, thanks to his time spent wordbearing too.

The cleanest place he's ever lived was the army hospital.

And military medical facilities were never that clean to begin with.

Even horncallers kill sometimes.

He found the sharpshooter that nearly shot his liver and charged the poor sap. Strangled the elf to death with its own bow.

I think he came close once but escaped, leaving his buddies behind.

His unit was routed after the scouts left out a 0 in the troop estimate. He was captured before he even knew what was going on.

I think so...

Artificer upraising let him grow up in relative protection from the rough-and-tumble streets. He enjoyed pickup games of dwarfball as a child. He was too much of a free spirit to get really caught up in competition and beating down your rivals.

Yes. A wizard did it.

It was horrific and he has long since blocked the incident out of his memories. Where did that hole even go to?

Oh yes.

Someone asked him to repair a really really really nice horn.

And yes.

He jacked it and ran to do wordbearing.

And yes. It made him angry.

He lost it the first time he got robbed by bandits. Tried to follow them, but didn't know how to track at all, so he gave up.

Yes. It didn't really register until later.

Saw a human commander with a seriously crazy sword. Legendary artifact, probably worth an entire kingdom or something ridiculous like that. And then his unit got routed.
