Background
Born into a long line of mechanostrider mechanics, Willard Boltshear tired of his slow lifestyle began turning into a sour little gnome. When the news of Gnomeregan's disasterous radiation hit him, he took up arms to help however he could, he tried to apply as a holdout defender in gnomeregan's clean zone, but was passed over in favour of others.



With the escalation of the wars the alliance became involved in, and the effects of the efforts made by heroes in Gnomeregan, Boltshear lied about his application to the gnomeregan efforts, and was allowed to sign up for duty up in northrend. He was not assinged any combat duty, and was left in menial engineering jobs.

It was at this point that he travelled back to the old Kingdoms, and found a job as a Stormwind guard, he stayed in the service of the guard for a while until his desires for fame could be held off no longer.

Boltshear built from scrap an impressive suit of mechanical armor and weaponry, and using his faked credentials returned to Northrend, and by a stroke of luck was able to find his way into the valiants ring in the Argent Tournament. A string of good fortune in the jousting arena, and hapless accidents pushed Boltshear to the status of Champion of Gnomeregan.

Family Background
Benik Boltshear (NPC) - Distant relative

Criminal Record
A spotless criminal record.

Personal Notes
Boltshear is a gnome with a foul temper, he dislikes being talked down to, and often is extremely condecending when he percieves someone to be an idiot. However this masks his underlying awkwardness and shy personality. Many of Boltshear's feats of strength and heroic accomplishments are over-exaggerated, as he is always making an effort to embiggen his standing amongst his friends, but when presented with real danger and unexpected factors, Boltshear tends to lose his grandiose attitudes and becomes something more genuine.

Current Status
Boltshear is now completely absorbed in his champion role, and is beginning to fool even himself into thinking how amazing he is. Boisterous tales and flashy armor gained Boltshear a position in the The Global Network of Outstanding and Marvelous Engineers, where he has gained a strange position as a mascot/whipping boy/idol of adoration/walking joke among many other things.
