Rig Wockle

Master Inventor Rig Wockle

Rig lives in a small household in the Babblehand district overlooking the Vathyc Sea. An old gnome with a with an oil-stained brown apron, long white beard, and those weird glasses with the lenses that extend like 5 cm outward, stands hunched over a wooden work desk carving miniscule symbols into a small clay square. Around him, the room is completely cluttered with large and small wooden planks, sheets of metal, shelves full of gadgets, and containers filled with screws, bolts, and otherwise. The gnome pushes his glasses up onto his head, and begins attempting to fit the clay square into a small metal housing. Even with his small nimble hands, he fumbles with the tiny pieces for a bit, squinting his eyes, until he finally gives up.
  “Ermmm…, E-4?? Could you come give me a hand real quick?”

A cloaked automaton enters the room, and with a bit of trouble, fits the clay square into the inlay.

“Would you mind helping me with one more favor lad? Tem headed over to those fight pits, a few moments ago, and well, we both know that boy has a penchant for getting into trouble…would you mind heading over there an accompanying him?”

Personal history

Rig is an inventor who used to be the captain of a team of inventors in one of the gnome workshop divisions in Behemith. His wife died several years ago, after which he tried to distract himself in his work. However, in his old age the hustle and bustle of work was too much from him. He retired and as is living in one of the houses toward the shoreline a lonely widower, still trying to fill his time with his hobbies. Even with his short of stature, hunched, and wrinkled complexion, he moved quick for his age, and never passed up the opportunity to haggle the local shop owners for new parts.

Family name Wocklebickle, shortened to Wockle after family immigrated to Quoxzura. Recently he'd visited Fellehunsville to attend an auction for unique scraps and building materials.

 

Rig was with his friend Xolbe at the market, when a strange man approached them. He said his name was Rockwell Clement, and was a “tradesman.” He said he saw Rig’s automaton creation and was impressed by his craftsmanship. That he would give him a good deal to buy it off of him. He wrote a what she assumed to be a price on a piece of parchment which made Rigs eyes go wide, but Rig promptly declined, handed the parchment back and it he wasn’t for sale. Before the man walked away, he told him that if he changed his mind, he could find him at 5442 Ash Way. Xolbe tried to ask what the parchment said, but Rig seemed rather incensed, so she didn’t push.

Rockwell Clement had orders to kidnap Rig to get information on E4 for his client, but before he could, his Coastguard boss, Detlev Bronk, had him kidnapped him first. His de facto sons, Tem and E4, investigated his disapearence with their friends, resulring in his eventually rescue.
