Youngest nephew of Gurin Aldrimor. A self-proclaimed wordsmith, he illicitly practiced necromancy as a member of Esprit Repose.
He believed that his associate Zanic Corbinic was planning terrorist actions against the crown, and he shared his concerns with Rubinia Elka, the cabal’s leader. Zanic was expelled on charges of sedition against the Seven High Clans.
Bronce’s brother Hollerd murdered their uncle Gurin using poison, which he made from materials stolen from Bronce. Bronce used a technique of Esprit Repose known as the crawling claw to change the time of Gurin’s clock to cover up his brother’s crime.
Bronce is now being held in the dungeons of the Mountain palace, awaiting trial and execution.
Chronicle
- 03e01
Wizard nephew of Gurin, who had left the keep very early in the morning. A trail of necromancy led from Gurin’s room up the side of his bed, and a vial was missing from his meticulously organized desk. The agents found him with Sil at the army barracks, where his fireball made short work of goblinoids and zombies. He at first denied knowing Leopold Gardenblossom, then admitted he had been his professor at the university where he studied wizardry.

Named, on “unreliable testimony,” as a potential affiliate of Esprit Repose in the secret SPI file Vondal produced.
- 03e04
Confronted at Aldrimor Keep, he admitted covering up his brother Hollerd’s actions. The agents struck a deal: Bronce and Hollerd would pay for their crimes, and the SPI would keep the secret of Esprit Repose for the good of the dwarven kingdom, in exchange for Rubinia Elka’s full cooperation in the future.
