by Quinnen Glenfellow

Quinnan Glenfellow, son of Alton Glenfellow and Thea Glenfellow had always been fascinated by the way things worked. From helping to fix the axels on his father’s cart, to watching the local blacksmith forge weapons, he had an itch to take things apart and put them back together. Living life on their farm, he found little use for this spark of curiosity. At around 20, his mother passed away due to illness.
