Beren is a member of the Elder Dwarf clan, famed for their legendary blacksmithing. He embodies the classic dwarf appearance: short, stocky, with dense head and facial hair. As an adventurer seeking materials, he wore self-made armor for protection. His clan traditionally inhabited remote, harsh lands far from human settlements to avoid exploitation or conflict. This isolation brought constant struggles to secure resources and defend against monsters. A pivotal crisis occurred when the Black Spider of Calamity nearly annihilated the clan, destroying or consuming many priceless weapon creations. Makoto Misumi and Tomoe intervened during this attack, saving Beren and his people. Following their rescue, Tomoe offered the clan sanctuary within Asora, a demiplane connected to Makoto. Beren helped persuade the clan elders to accept, facilitating their relocation. Initial distrust arose when an elder suspected Makoto of being an agent of the Goddess, but Makoto's denial solidified Beren's loyalty. He became a key blacksmith for Asora and the Kuzunoha Company, primarily operating from their shop in Tsige. Beren's technical mastery places him among the finest craftsmen even among Elder Dwarves. He possesses the Appraisal skill to assess equipment quality. His critical creations include specialized magic-draining gear designed to suppress Makoto's overwhelming, deity-level aura—gear that would prove fatal to anyone else. Other significant works are the Storage Ring, allowing access to Asora as dimensional storage; the "Azusa Yumi," a long bow storing and converting mana into magical power like Draupnir; and the Wind Sword, an evolving magic sword forged from materials fused with a wind spirit. Initially producing functional items described as "good enough for now," Beren harbors ambitions to forge true masterpieces worthy of Makoto's power and the growth of allies like Tomoe and Mio. He sees blacksmithing as an art form and deeply values creating weapons destined to become legendary artifacts. His relationship with Makoto and the Kuzunoha Company centers on profound respect and gratitude, driving his dedication to their cause.
