Huron Stahlmast
A former engineer for the Dwendalian Empire, Stahlmast was shamed for his imperfect designs and immoral experimentation. He left Hupperdook years before and was assumed to have found his fortune elsewhere. Instead, he’s been building a lair beyond the waterfall cavern, sealed off behind the steel door.
ROLEPLAYING STAHLMAST
Stahlmast is a boastful, narcissistic inventor who has never been able to accept or admit his faults. This pride, coupled with a penchant for hazardous and immoral testing of his imperfect designs, has consistently hindered his success, pushed others away, seen him exiled from Hupperdook, and ruined his once-respected reputation. Driven by blind vengeance, Stahlmast has become the self-styled leader of his personal army of minions, determined to punish all those who cast him aside. Ideal. “These stupid people didn’t understand my genius, so I will show them. They will regret their ignorance as I prove my superiority … right before I crush them.” Bond. “My designs, my work—they are a part of me and my legacy. I will do whatever it takes to see my ideas realized in front of those who mocked me.” Flaw. “I am easily goaded into anger if my plans are ever called into question. I must show others precisely why I am better than them before I can dispose of them. People say that I’m a coward when not fighting from behind my constructs—but they’re wrong!”Physical Description

Personal history
Several years before the start of the campaign, Huron Stahlmast was a brilliant engineer assigned to Hupperdook to develop weapons for the Dwendalian Empire. However, his eccentric designs and inhumane methods of experimentation led him to be ousted from the city. During The War of the Ash and the Light, he made contact with Den Hythenos of the Kryn Dynasty, who hired him to create weapons for their effort in the war. With the den's funds, Stahlmast created a subterranean lair within the Silberquel Ridge, with an entrance in a hidden cave at the top of Silver Falls. There he amassed a following of Kobold Underlings and devised a plan to take over Hupperdook using his latest creation, a large mecha-suit he named the Stahlmaster, as well as using large explosives to create a landslide that would bury much of the city.
