Nado was the dwarven clan chief of Dûrgrimst Knurlcarathn. He was one of the three dwarves who opposed Orik from becoming king.

History[]

Nado was the main opposition to Orik in the race to become dwarven king in Brisingr after the death of the Dwarf King Hrothgar, his clan, Dûrgrimst Knurlcarathn, being one of the two clans Nasuada mentioned to be eager for the seat of power to go to another clan. He hated the Varden and openly announced that they should not be supported, being described by Eragon as being openly and vehemently opposed to any involvement with Eragon, Nasuada, the Empire, Galbatorix, Queen Islanzadí, the Urgals, or, apparently, anything living outside of the Beor Mountains. He was described as being "a round-faced dwarf with flaxen hair".

Along with his own clan, Nado's initial support came from three clans and their leaders: Grimstborith Gáldhiem of Dûrgrimst Feldûnost, Grimstborith Havard of Dûrgrimst Fanghur, and Grimstborith Vermûnd of Dûrgrimst Az Sweldn rak Anhûin. Despite his being an erstwhile ally, Nado voted with the other dwarves in banishing Vermûnd. He received a total of five votes for kingship, his own vote, as well as those of Gáldhiem, Gannel, Ûndin, and Freowin (who had previously promised his vote to Orik). Following Orik's election, Nado swore an oath of fealty to Orik along with the other clan chiefs, "the words dropping from his mouth like bars of lead".
