Description: This northern man likes to wear tan tank tops with brown pants. His clothes are grease stained in places. He has moderate length white hair. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

He is able to make almost anything out of random pieces of junk.

History: Born to a Miner, his father struggled to pay the bills. When money was particularly tight he was walking through alleys when he overheard a Animal Trainer hiring some criminals to sabotage a competitor.
