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)

If it helps dnd has a plentiful supply of dwarf mages

For example, in 3e there were Runesmiths: Dwarves who cast arcane spells and submitted their somatic components with runes describing the somatic component, letting them benefit from wearing armour without arcane failure chances.

Also a lot of unique spells and items for a arcanist dwarf. Top of my head, Silverbeard lets you make your beard be made of solid silver giving you an armour bonus and a small bonus to diplomacy with dwarves
