Toddles McGear McSprocket II

=Physical Description= Toddles is more-or-less oblivious to appearances. His hair has thinned into nothing but a stringy comb over on his head, and his long mustache is more abysmal than charming. His clothing is always in various states of being mucked with grim or worn until threadbare, with exception of his boots, which are oddly made of plate.

He is never seen without a pair of goggles tightly strapped over his eyes. The bright leather strap is noticeably pulled too tight, sometimes to the point of turning his bald crown bright pink. His belt is adorned with a wreck of arcspanners and various other engineering tools that clank as he walks. =Personality= Jittery, would be one word. Also overly-excited, but nervous. Toddles is a mixed bag of emotions all packed snugly into one squat gnome. He's prone to stuttering when nervous or terrified, and twiddling his thumbs together when he's lying or not telling the whole truth. The latter and former are actually done quite often. =History= Prior to the plague that washed over Azeroth years after the Third War, Toddles McGear McSprocket II led a quaint gnomish life. He was raised in a family of seven brother and sisters (each), and did well in his studies. While he was really only talented in tinkering with sprockets and cogs, he always aspired to be a writer. This led to a career with the Stormwind Daily Bagle (spelled B-A-G-L-E) that was short-lived, due to his inability to spell or meet any sort of deadline.

After being fired from the Bagle, Toddles decided to go on vacation through Azeroth to find himself and perhaps his purpose. He ended up caught up in trouble near the Plaguelands and disappeared for two months. When he showed up in Stormwind again, the Knights of the Ebon Hold were suspiciously arriving at the same time, much to his chagrin.

He now spends his time in Stormwind or Ironforge with his new repairman business, which is surprisingly thriving despite his life's previous non-successes. Still, even the barest mention of the phrase "death knight" puts him until incurable jitters, despite his occasional... well, death knight-like characteristics.
