Personal history
Mig was born in Nexus and left to learn magic from the house of Hearth within Crystallis Academy. He returned to Nexus to finish his studies with earth magic. A fondness for artificing, he created dozens of tools that made it so people on Arhor'ha wouldn't go hungry. This branched out to protection artificing for soldiers and adventurers to protect against the many wilderness threats.
When Nexus fell, Mig relocated to Verde and took up an open job at the Travelers & Tinkerers. It is there he met an adventuring party and traveled Arhor'ha. When the party ended in tragedy, he returned to the shop a much older man and resigned to quietly live out the rest of his life creating things for others.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Although well respected amongst his peers, he rarely took any direct credit for his works. Basic enchanted weapons to fight scarecrows, goggles of night vision, and potions of growth all have been created under his dutiful care.
Failures & Embarrassments
Mig failed to protect Nexus when it was occupied and saw many of his creations turned against their intended purpose. Blades meant to stop the hide of a field scarecrow were used to kill farmers. He accepted that he could not stop an army and fled to Verde to help in a smaller capacity.
The opportunity to help in a smaller capacity came up as he joined an adventuring group. This ended in failure as well and he returned to a simple life of a crafter.

Mental Trauma
Although having suffered a lot of blows to his ego, Mig is free of mental trauma. He harbors a great sadness that he refuses to let be a burden to others.
Intellectual Characteristics
A skilled artificer with a penchant for reading, tinkering with clockwork and machinations, and a curious view of the divine.
Morality & Philosophy
Mig is a person who believes in helping others, but that others need to be capable of helping themselves. By creating things, they can help themselves more than they were before.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To build things that good people will use to make the world a better place.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Physical labor isn't something Mig is capable of any more. He picks work with small objects, which he is extremely adept at creating or fixing.
Likes & Dislikes
Mig loves the pursuit of knowledge in all of its forms. Protecting the truth is something he holds dear to his heart. The opposite of this, blind brutality, is something he abhors and only tolerates when there is no other option than to do so.
Virtues & Personality perks
A sharp mind, skilled hands, and savvy business nature make him a natural at the trade of magical items.
Vices & Personality flaws
His teasing nature bubbles up from an overactive mind and unresolved trauma that he hides behind humor. Even when humor is not warranted, he tends to add levity. He is not known for his patience, either.
