Hjalmar Anvilmar was the brother of Thargas Anvilmar. He trained Varian Wrynn and taught him the "Anvilmar feint", a dwarf combat stance.
When Thargas, Varian, Broll Bearmantle, and Valeera Sanguinar were travelling on their way to Ironforge they were attacked by a group of Dark Iron dwarves. When the heroes defeated them their leader, Gunnar Flyntrock, told Thargas that Hjalmar was captured by the Dark Iron dwarves at Thandol Span. The company then decided to go and rescue him.
At Thandol Span, they found Hjalmar held captive by Dark Iron dwarves under the command of Balgaras the Foul. Balgaras intended to kill Hjalmar by melting the Helm of the Anvilmars onto his face. However, Thargas cut his hand off before he could cast a fire spell, and Hjalmar was thus set free. With his other hand Balgaras tried to light one of the explosives, Hjalmar jumped to prevent it, and was mortally injured by the explosion. Before he died, he gave the Helm of the Anvilmars to Thargas telling him to save Thandol Span. In Hjalmar's name, Thargas killed many Dark Irons and helped save the span.
