Lenklunkik Rustfizzle
Boss Lenklunkik Rustfizzle (a.k.a. the Tinker)
A mountain gnome of humble origins, Lenklunklik was born to a loving family high in the Apps Mountains, deep within the Shin Empire. The mountain gnomes avoided detection by the humans, and resided in their isolated homesteads and underground lairs, only trading with others of their kind. Lenklunklik proved more curious and ambitious than most gnomes, and decided to venture out on his own at the young age of only 33. What he found was a world reeling from the devastation of the Great War.
With many towns destroyed and cities damaged by the fighting throughout all of Emicara, Lenklunklik saw only opportunity, exporting his skills with tinkering and masonry to help reconstruction efforts and create his own firm: Rustfizzle Engineering. Hiring numerous human employees, he was able to establish himself as a reliable builder, creating new roads and homes for the people of northern Jakonia. Eventually, however, demand dropped, and the resurgence of the Church of the One Sun led to a decline in support for his services. Concerned about angering the church and its members, people became less likely to hire a gnome-operated company, and he found himself losing money hand over fist.
In 904, he relocated to the town of Waycross, with what was left of his business and assets. He found himself driven slowly into obscurity and out of business by the relentlessly anti-competitive practices of the Honest Businessman and his empire. Seeing the lay of the land ahead of him, Lenklunklik chose instead of a decline, to take the fight to those who were driving him out of business. In 945, he rose up, and using a series of devices of his own creation, began attacking and wreaking havoc upon the Businessman's holdings in Waycross and the surrounding Jorgan Badlands. A party of adventurers was hired to stop his attacks, and he was captured.
For another decade, Lenklunklik was held in the cells of the Honest Businessman in Waycross, but he was offered a new opportunity. Impressed at the ingenuity and talent of the gnome, the Honest Businessman offered to employ him. In 957, Lenklunklik finally accepted the offer and a new posting in the town of Hilliard. He turned his skills into immense profits for the Businessman's assets in the town, and served as a loyal employee. Over the next century, he has worked to ascending the ladder, and has been appointed the overseer of all operations in and around Hilliard, running construction once again, in addition to the smuggling and trade activities over the borders to the south.
Rumors claim, however, that Lenklunklik continues to hold a grudge against those who had oppressed him through his entire life and still looks for opportunities to take revenge against both the Church and the Honest Businessman himself.
