Personality
Martellibus dislikes Goblins, partly from being in the company of Goblin-hating Gnomes for a quite a while, and partly because in his words... "They have no appreciation for the small fine details of how most machines and devices work, And that all they do is cobble junk together to make a profit."
Martellibus really hates the cold.. and would not go anywhere that snows all the time without a mule that carries all the lumber it could carry and something to light it with...
Often get's excited about gadget's and trinkets he's never seen or heard of before, like a Child you could say.
Martellibus has a belief that the Light fills, watches over and guards, not only living things but all things good and wonderful, he often mumbles a prayer that his self-made gadgets work whenever they are used.
History
Martellibus was born a citizen of the Kingdom of Strom, To a Blacksmith and his wife.
his mother was a strong believer in the Light, and influenced his father... eventually Martellibus became a strong believer in it too.
His father attempted to teach him the trade from a early age, Martellibus was often woken up early so his father could... "Hammer" into his skull the knowledge required, While he progressed in this trade, it wasn't truely what he wanted to do.
One day a Gnome engineer/merchant stopped in their town, on his way to Lordaeron, he opened a stall and peddled his mechanical wonders for the few days he was there, Martellibus found the things amazing, and bought much and asked many questions to the Gnome, the Gnome kindly answered the questions and offered to get him books, and on his trip home stop by here again and give them to Martellibus.
He waited for weeks and eventually the Gnome came back with the books, after thanking him he darted home and started to read and learn.
Eventually he started to try and make some of the things he read and learned about on his own, while many times he never got the object he worked on finished, through trial and error he got some working.
When the second war came around and Strom joined the Alliance, Martellibus joined the war as a soldier, he participated mainly at the battles in Arathi, Dun Modr and at the Thandol Span.
Martellibus gained some recognition for combat skills in the course of the second war, and in the third war he traveled to Lordaeron and eventually became a Knight of the Silver Hand.
In between service to the Light, praying and training, Martellibus kept up the engineering, and started to try and tinker his way into improving his service of the Light.
Martellibus survived the almost complete destruction of the order and the Scourge by having went to see family and old friends back at Arathi, he was on his way back when he heard the crushing, and impossible news, many Paladins were slain, even the Lightbringer, by the Scourge and Arthas.
He decided to accompany those heading to new lands and boarded a Ship, he participated in many fights against the Legion in Kalimdor.
Eventually he went back to the east and traveled to Ironforge, hearing that the Gnomes were forced out of their city and now take refuge there, once he arrived he began to work on his Engineering a lot and made friends with other ones.
Eventually he said good bye to the great Dwarven city and headed back to Arathi, to fight against the threats and help his weakened Kingdom, which he has done 'till now.
