Personality

With a mild temper, eccentric moods, and an otherwise jovial attitude, Fagar is generally approachable. His somewhat dangerous handling of explosives may be seen as a careless lunatic, but he is in fact quite knowledgeable about his craft, and knows exactly what he's doing. Happy to raise drink to most races, even those pointy-eared fellows, you'll have to watch out if you're an orc or a troll. Old war habits die hard. Don't worry about the bearded demolitionist shouting at you though, his hearing just isn't what it used to be

History

Fagar was born to a humble family. His father was a hunter, living off of the land, and paying for a few extravagances by selling the hides in the local markets. Fagars first experience with firearms was with his father. He was absolutely enthralled by gunpowder, as well as the wonderful 'boom' it'd leave with. And thus began his career as an engineer. Or as he would prefer to put it- 'connoisseur o' concussive crafts'. With how boisterous he was when speaking about his work, he was always incredibly careful, accidents few and far between, and usually only to the moderate detriment of others.

After blowing a hole through the wall of his family's neighbors home, and destroying at least four carts full of cabbages, he finally splurged for a workshop of his own, secluded from others. There he could experiment in relative peace, free to turn his yard into what could only be described as a battlefield.

Fagar enlisted with the Alliance armies for the Second war, offering his explosive trade to be put to use by the humans. Pipe bombs thrown into the ranks of orcs and trolls were quite effective, as one might imagine. He only learned more from his efforts, crafting new devices to further propel his bombs and explosives greater distances than just his throwing arm.

By the Third war, Fagar was a full-fledged bomb expert, crafting explosive ordinance and weaponry for the Alliance armies in support of the war effort. While bigger bombs were always better, he refined his explosives to be particularily effective as pipe bombs, launched from a spring-loaded weapon into the ranks of undead. He however worked on his own masterpiece. A steam cannon that could propel his explosives great distances, as well as hold several bombs inside, loaded with a swift pump-action.

Even after all of the wars, battles, and loss of hearing, he keeps to his volatile trade, offering outrageous solutions for the smallest problems.
