The Tinkerer:
Baern Snagglehorn:
Sikuaq do you need some time still, or should we break off into a PM with Vera to hash things over?
Are you up for just talking it out in OOC? I realize it may include some information not everyone is privy to, but it may also provide some opportunities for others glom on to something.
Yes, absolutely! Sorry, I got wrapped up with other things yesterday.
Baern is roughly 40, still fairly young by the standards of gnomes. I figure he's been on the surface and tied in with Baz's crew for the past five or so years. Baern is exceedingly keen to demonstrate his loyalty to Baz. As an enforcer with the Spark he breaks legs as required of him, but does so with the absolute conviction of its necessity. Being somewhat unusual amongst the Spark's enforcers for his diminutive stature, Baern is quick to put to rest any notion that he can't keep up with the 'big folk'. He tends to receive an outsized proportion of the organization's more clandestine wetwork as he can follow where the more burly enforcers often cannot.
Baern has a gnomish sense of community, but has little patience for laggards and lollygaggers. He believes each should contribute as they are able, and in turn be rewarded according to their needs. He views the Cognelius brothers as parasites that contribute nothing while squeezing the poor and would like nothing better than to drag them off their pedestals. If the Spark is a metaphor for hope it is also the impetus for revolution. Baern may not have been the first to light it, but he is prepared to carry the torch to the very top of the Rim.
