Forgrimm is the embodiment of a dwarven mercenary. He used to be Ardo of Boarstocks bodyguard. When Ardo was murdered, which Forgrimm could not prevent, he fell into a deep depression and started drinking heavily at The Silver Pitcher, where the party finds him, completely drunk. Out of pure guilt over Ardo's death Forgrimm even shaved his beard into a shameful beard. It is worth mentioning, though, that according to Forgrimm's statement, Ardo asked him to let him go alone to the meeting. So Forgrimm was not present when Ardo was attacked.
