Thromm Boulderbreaker
Physical Description
- Skin: Pale white, entirely hairless.
- Eyes: Pink, intense.
- Build: Massively muscular and imposing stature of a typical goliath. (P: This dude is ripped, even for a goliath... seriously, he's scary)
- Attire: Wears a practical brown leather outfit with numerous pockets for tools.
- Features: Has a pair of spectacles he sometimes wears when working (P: Rumour has it these are magical.. not sure what they do..)
Roles & Rumors
- Runs both the Artifice and Animist divisions at the MAU. Supposedly he's the busiest guy on campus, although he spends more time with his machines than with people. (H: I know we're supposed to hate this guy but... he's pretty bad-ass, right?) (T: ...)
- Known for his groundbreaking but often destructive experiments with animated constructs and artifacts.
- Reputation for causing significant property damage and casualties during tests, frequently needing cover-ups. (P: Old Thromm has probably caused 10x as much damage as we have!)
- Rumored to have unorthodox methods of acquiring test subjects, allegedly not always ethical or legal. (T: I heard he uses prisoners from the MAU dungeon) (JS: My contact in the Starborn says they sometimes get asked to volunteer...)
Frequented Locations
- The Artifactrium and Golemfell Fields: Primary testing sites for Thromm's creations on MAU campus.
- Stonegate Bastion in Forgebolt: Our contacts say he's at the Bastion regularly to meet with military command; this is new, as the MAU and Anhklpork military have historically not gotten along.
- High Fence Bluffs: Suspected location of a secret testing facility, details largely unknown. (JS: You sure about this one? Seems like somebody would notice...)
Behavioral Notes
- Questionable ethical compass, prioritizes results over collateral damage (H: You have to admit the results are pretty impressive though; have you seen that hole in the middle of MAU campus)?
- Maintains a rigorous physical regimen to enhance his imposing appearance, rumored to include exotic dietary practices facilitated by his assistants. (P: I heard he eats puppies.) (T: No you didn't... can we keep it real here) (P: No, really... I did)
- Has used his influence to help promote several Anhklpork military officers into positions of power within the High Pork Diet
- Known to be a vocal ally and friend of Pyntle Bafflestone (they appear to share an interest in rare artifacts)
Known Associates
- Sally Featherstone and Garra Stonemeld: These two are Thromm's assistants, his 'bodyguards' (JS: really?), and chief engineers. They are also rumored to be involved romantically with Thromm (T: Gross.). Both are well known and fairly public about their eccentric tastes in food and drink, often indulging in bizarre culinary escapades (P: Because who's going to stop them?)
Questionable Activities
- The MAU has had to undergo frequent reconstructions of the Artifactrium and other surrounding buildings due to Thromm's catastrophic experiment failures (or were they successes?), with the latest incident involving a severe explosion that left a crater in the middle of campus. Nevertheless, there doesn't seem to be any activity to stop him.
- Thromm claims that all experiment participants are volunteers, though rumors suggest some are coerced or misled into participation.
- There's a circulating theory that Thromm himself might be a golem, animated by an unknown mastermind (P: He sure as hell looks the part...)
