History

Born in the year 14 inside the great city of Dalaran, Aldran grew up surrounded by mages and wizards of different races and ages. When he turned eight he started going to the classes of Dalaran learning about magic and the world around him. Three years later the scourge attacked Dalaran and he was forced to flee with his family to Southshore.

Feeling that South Shore would not keep them as safe as they first thought, his father arranged his family a ship to new Stomwind. A few months later they arrived and took up residing in the mage quarter of the newly built city. There Aldran continued his studies where he took a considerable liking to fire magic. Losing interest in the other schools of magic, Aldran only focused his efforts in learning new spells to burn, incinerate and ignite. He studied under the Stormwind mages till the age of seventeen.

After finishing with his training he was sent to Rachet to pick up some package for his father. The technology that he came in contact with there made him curios and after returning to his father with the package he went back to Rachet to study goblin engineering. Here he worked at Grixi's machine shop learning all there is about the basics of engineering.

After proving himself worthy he was sent to learn goblin engineering under Crazk Spark a firework vendor and zapper explosive maker. It was under Crazk Aldran started developing a strange love for firearms. The big problem with weapons around Azeroth was that it only could fire once before needing to be reloaded.

Aldran began sending letters to his old engineering master and started designing a rifle that could fire up to four shots before it needed to be reloaded. He did this by crafting four barrels into the rifle instead of one. Drawback in his design was all four barrels had to be prepared like a normal rifle and as such ended up being more dangerous to the user.

With the help of both Carzk and Grixi he developed a new design eight months after his first. It was a rifle with one barrel but with an added barrel having five rounds in it. This new rifle allowed the user to fire five times and reload fast enough to avoid any serious damage. Sadly his design was sold off by his mentors.

Furious with their greed he went back to new Stormwind finding out there were much more designs for guns then he first thought. A good example was the many types of shotguns carried by dwarves and gnomes. A big shock to him was the firearms with cylinders were already invented by a gnome engineer and more so in a hand held fashion.

This is where he started collecting all kinds of firearms and experimenting with new designs. Now he mostly travels around Stormwind and Ellwyn selling fireworks and other inventions to travelers interested in his work.
