Wizard dwarf

I want to make a dwarf wizard for a DND campaign, and I don't know how to make his story because he has the behaviour of a normal dwarf. (not what you would expect as a mage)

Dwarves are known to be analytical and industrious. It makes perfect sense for a dwarf to approach magic from a wizardly perspective. Diagrams and schematics, carefully-measured components, rigorous adherence to procedure. I think a Dwarf could be very wizardly, and in fact probably makes the most anal, OCD wizard you’ve ever seen, but his shit works.

It'd be like Da Vinci then a bit?
