Personality: It looks like that at one time, Webster was just as bubbly and eccentric as any of his brethren, but the disaster of Gnomeregan and age have caught up to him. He is somewhat quiet, fumbling and always has his nose in some sort of engineering guide or journal. Of course, if there is a device that interests him; he will look at it immediately- and spends most of his time Tinkering.

History: Webster was born in Gnomeregan, of course. His father was a tinker that worked inside city maintenance and his mother was a tomboyish fighter who served as a guard for the gates and main lift. While his mother was aloof and not seen very often, Webster's father often took him deep inside the secret maintenance tunnels and passageways, giving him lessons on how the air systems, electricity, and even sewage where taken in and out of the underground capital. As he grew older, his own obsession grew- and he inherited the job of his father, snaking his ways inside tunnels and pipelines that not many knew about in the first place. His dream was to become the next High Tinker, or at least become part of the council of advisors that helped make the city run.

He had a infatuation with High Tinker Mekkatorque and Thermaplugg, whom where the topmost leaders of the city. He, like the thousands of others cheered at their combined efforts to rid the city of the Trogg invasions. (Part of his job was to repair what the Troggs had broken, but he didn't mind.) When he prepared (along with his people) for the blasts of the bombs in what later would become the clean zone, he was shocked. Entire sections of the main square collapsed, the noises deafening as he witnessed the Troggs (unphased by the gasses or blasts) slaughter and kill any Gnomes in sight. He blindly made his way out of the city, the thick gasses effecting his vision forever.

As he narrowly escaped with the others of his race into the haven of Ironforge, he vowed to never forget what had happened to his home of so many years.

Nowdays, Webster can be seen bumming around Ironforge and beyond, now jobless- waiting for the first chance to save his fallen city.
