Description
This picture shows some dwarves from various published concepts, from comics to novels and video games. I also tried to give it a more spoiler free discription. The characters from left to right are:

1. Douwe Dabbert
Created by: The writer Thom Roep and illustrator Piet Wijn.
Role: Main protagonist.
Known from: A series of comics featuring his adventures.
Homeworld: Our world around the 17th/18th century.
Depicted in: His own series of comics by the same name of the character.
Little description: Douwe Dabbert is a an old drifter. Nobody knows his exact origins, as he was already an old man during his debut. Douwe calls himself a human, but because of his short stature and great white beard, he had been called a dwarf or a gnome. He carries a magical knapsack, that conjures up everthing he needs. If he is hungry, it conjures a piece of bread for example. His comics were never translated into English and my guess is about depictions that might be controversy in several countries (nudity for example). Douwe is generally a friendly old chap, but he stand up against villains if needed. As long he has his knapsack with him, he'll be safe from harm.

2. Korgan Bloodaxe
Created by: The gamestudio Bioware.
Role: Optional companion to the player's character.
Known from: The RPG game of Baldur's Gate.
Homeworld: The Forgotten Realms. (Dungeons and Dragons)
Depicted in: Baldur's Gate 2.
Little description: Korgan is a bloodthirsty dwarven mercenary. He can be recruited by the player as a companion for his quest. Korgan has a love for slaughter and gladly jumps into the fray. He also has a love for gold and hates when he has to give it away. He appeares to be quick to anger and loudmouthed. Korgan might seem as a bloodthirsty lunatic, but he is not stupid enough to go on a rampage.

3. Tungdil "Goldhand" Bolofar
Created by: The writer Markus Heitz.
Role: Main protagonist in the first two novels.
Known from: A series of novels called "The Dwarves".
Homeworld: Girdlegard.

Little description: Tungdil is a dwarf that is raised among the humans under the guidence of a wizard. He only knows the culture about dwarves from books. His story starts peacefully first, but then come in conflict with all kinds of things like dwarven politics, fighting orcs for survival, chased down by evil elf-like creatures and a way to stop evil for good and saving Girdleguard.

4. Yeslick Orothair

Role: Optional companion to the player's character.

Little description: A wise dwarven cleric that can be rescued by the player. Yeslick is a friendly chap that can cast healing spells. He is quick to trust people, but that turned to be his downfall before his capture. Yeslick is also calm and respect people that doing good things.
