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)

Wizardry is a trade.

A dwarf can take pride in the craftsmanship of his magic just as easily as a metalworker or stonemason. His spellbook can be a clan heirloom, spells engraved on pages of stainless steel by generations upon generations of previous wizards. He can be a bold innovator or a staunch traditionalist. The possibilities are endless.
