Background
One of the eight members of the Regency Council that rule the Dwarf Kingdom,

The Craftsman of Dwarf Arc
The Regency Council greeted the Sorcerer King in the capital of Feo Jera. When the offer of trading undead labor was brought up during the negotiations, among the councilors, the Master of Caves and Mines was receptive to the idea of using undead in his mines. When the dwarf questioned the Sorcerer King, he was surprised to learn that the human nations had applied using the undead in their mines.

During the next phase of the negotiations, Ainz offered to drive back the Quagoa and retake their former capital, Feo Berkana, he was among the Regency that accepted the offer.

Mass for the Dead Arc
The Master of Caves and Mines was one of the survivors that fled from Feo Jera after Giant Lizards overran the city and destroyed the Dwarven Army. Th remaining civilian population fled to Feo Berkana, and the Master of Caves and Mines, acting as a representative of the Regency Council approached the White Dragon Lord to offer the servitude to Olasird'arc Haylilyal. Since the Quagoa had vanished in the early days of the Incident, the dragon was without those who could mine gold and precious gems. It was believed by the dwarves that the dragon would accept their labor as a substitute.

To his confusion he learned that the dragon who ruled the ancient capital was not Olasird'arc but his child and that the Dragon Lord had perished. Furthermore the dragon refused the dwarves request for protection as it and the family of frost dragons had no use for wealth anymore as the end of the world was coming. To the dragon no matter what they did or who they joined with, it would not be enough to protect them from the approaching death. The dwarf and his people were politely told to leave the city, but the councilor begged the dragon to reconsider. He risked being the wrath of the dragon for his rudeness when Bigosa and the delegation from the Sorcerer Kingdom arrived interrupting the meeting.

The councilor witnessed the frost dragon being beaten by one of the members of the delegation, Cocytus. The stranger's strength impressed the dragon to a degree that it began to reconsider that all hope was not lost and that an alliance was possible. The dwarf thanked the strangers for intervening promising that the Sorcerer Kingdom would earn the gratitude of his nation.

Ainz Ooal Gown
