History

Maynard was born to a prominent gnome tinker couple named Tira Gearsboom and Milo Grindersbolt who were a duo of entrepreneur tinker who owned a shop called Grinders and Gears. While the two were usually busy Maynard was typically alone. In Maynard's loneliness he began reading from his father's personal collection of books. He bypassed the guides on engineering and read more about alchemy and other places. He particularly became interested in a book about Dalaran, while not caring for the city itself he thought magic was an interesting thing. He asked his father about mage training and his father enrolled him under the tutelage of his friend Dobbin Therminwhizz.

As Maynard progressed in his mage training he found Dobbin was his only friend. Dobbin would share his books with Maynard and through time, Maynard became a bibliophile, finding that his only friends were Dobbin and books. Maynard was named Minibolt because when he tried displaying his magic publicly he got stage fright and only managed to shoot a small frost bolt. After that Maynard would spend more time reading than talking to people.

Maynard completed his mage training and continually practiced it when he wasn't reading. Maynard eventually decided to move to Dalaran, seeing no more merit in staying in Gnomeregan. While Maynard was in Dalaran he met another gnome named Shani Mixwadget. Shani had many qualities similar to Maynard and thus they married. After spending a few years practicing and studying magic together in Dalaran Shani and Maynard moved back to Gnomeregan.

Shani and Maynard lived happily together for awhile, Maynard's parents both passes away of old age as did Dobbin. Shani and Maynard opened a book store and magic school, Maynard would spend most of his time sitting in the back of the store reading books as Shani took care of everything else.

When Gnomeregan fell, Shani attempted to fight off the troggs, Maynard dragged her toward the gates as she tried to fight troggs. Shani fainted from exhaustion and Maynard still dragged her along. Eventually Maynard found himself cornered by troggs, he tried to fight them off but there were too many and he fled. Maynard found Gnomregan too sad to be near and so he left, wandering the world in search of books to read.
