Brimmer

"For many years we have lived happy in our beloved Gnomeregan! During these lovely years we have grown more as a people than ever before! And now, when we suddenly where attacked by the cursed troggs, you come up with the idea to flood the city with radiation to wipe out not only the troggs but also many of our own. Now we know why you gave the council that idea. If I would have had a seat in the council, your "operation" would never had been executed. Stop this madness now, and we might even give you a trial before we execute you, because you are going to die, one way or another. "No", you say? Fine, then I will personally rip your heart out the nest time we meet. mark my words, traitor, 'for you will not be "King" of Gnomeregan for long! Remember this, my friend, or shall I say foe?"

-- Brimmer Spannermind speaking to Sicco Thermaplugg in a desperate attempt to make him reconsider his actions and choices, but without any success.

Full Name
Brimmer Borgus Spannermind.

Physical Traits

 * Brimmer's a average tall gnome, one-hundered-two years old with a fairly muscular built body. He's allways wearing his engineering outfit or his Kirin Tor robe. He's almost bald, and the black hair he got left is combed over the bald top of his head. He got a impressive beard which his friends is allways making fun of, saying "That his hair is slowly moving down towards his chest". His left arm was blown during a test of one of his inventions. It is replaced with a mana-operated mechano prosthesis built by his nephew. Brimmer's prothesis is heavily modified and it now holds both a small database and a array of small tools and gadgets, well hidden inside the fingers.
 * Brimmer does travel alot due to his diferent missions with both the Kirin Tor and G.N.O.M.E, but he rarely takes anything with him exept his Arclight Spanner, his hammer and his mechanical squirrel, Mr Tech-tail.

Childhood
Brimmer grew up as the son of flying ace Bemtal Bombwing. He was the youngest sibling of three and the only one who inherited their mother's talent in the arcane arts. Brimmer began his studies to become a mage when he was only 7 years old. Due to the fact that Bemtal didn't want Brimmer to miss his engineering training, the only teacher Brimmer ever had was his own mother.

There is not much to tell about Brimmer's childhood. He lived peacefully in Gnomeregan, and where allways seen either practising a new spell or with his eyes stuck in a book about engineering or Military tactics. Brimmer was during his teenage years very intrested in dwarven warfare, and regularly travelled to Ironforge to learn more about it.

Brimmer completed the "Exam of Magi", only 22 years old and close to perfection in the fire and arcane school tests, but just barley passed in the fire school test. This made Myhlia very disappointed and due to this, Brimmer stopped practising the arcane arts for some time while focusing on his engineering.

He got his surname, Spannermind, during an engineering lesson on which he repaired a ALARMO-BOT using only a arclight spanner and his head.

from the Second War with love
Brimmer was, due to his knowlegde in tactical warfare, asigned as captain over the gnomish submarine "Short Diver" and commander over a squadron of submarines, class DT-039 during the beginning of the second war. Brimmer and his squadron quickly became known among the orcs as "the death from underneath" and the squadron took that name as their official name.

During his time stationed aboard the Short Diver, Brimmer had a relationship with his navigating officer, Diloia Silvervoice. After six months of cruising the great sea, searching for hostile vessels to sink, the squadron where attacked by orcish battleships, who had discovered their rendez-vous point and where now dropping goblin sink mines to neutralize them. The squadron took heavy damage, and only three of fifteen submarines returned to the docking bay. The crews of the submarines got their retirement and they all returned to Gnomeregan. There, Brimmer and Diloia got married and by the end of the war, they also had two children, a boy and a girl.

Third War to present day ((working on it))
During the siege of Gnomeregan, Brimmer helped the refugees out of the city, by simply open portals to Ironforge, from which they could pass trough. He also tried to convince Thermaplugg the Traitor to stop his madness, but he failed. Both of Brimmer's parents died during the siege and there where a joint funeral for both of them. Brimmer's big sister, Meakaly Speedslug, fled Ironforge shortly after the funeral hand have not been seen since.

Five months after the siege, Brimmer and his family where in a terrible engineering accident, which reulted in the death of Diloia, Brulam and Migia, and the loss of Brimmer's lower left arm. Brimmer got his arm replaced by a prosthesis, but he still blames himself for even coming up with the idea of a "Mana reactor".

In the aftermath of the third war, Brimmer founded the "Gnomish Network of Outstanding and Marvelous Engineers" (G.N.O.M.E in acronym), a community made to conquer the world, one invention at a time.
