Braxion Malleas

Braxion Malleas was the Head Artificer of the Owl and Spear, and member of the Imperum Crescent Council. He also attended the famous Invernus Academy, this is most likely where he cultivated his genius for automation. He was able to create intricate and powerful automatons, capable of any task. He even had a hand in making the automaton Auto another member of the Imperum Crescent Council. His genius came with some quirks as he struggled to keep attention to anything except automatons.
The party first met Braxion when investigating the Imperum Crescent Council during the assassination of King Eugammon. (Sx20) They saw him the first time that they attended a council meeting, but did not interact with him. He seemed much more interested in the parts of a machine in his hands than anything being brought up during the meeting. When there was a large bang, due to Khantos and Leoven's incursion into his room and trying to steal one of his blueprints, he was blamed for faulty creations, after they managed to deceive the crowd, by Lirit Bassilin his associate, they seemed to have a major contrast in personality that led to an unideal relationship.
Further into the investigation they ruled Braxion out as a suspect as he seemed far too focused in his own work, and it seemed Quintus Pterygas had been messaging him to hurry back to working on his project.
His final appearance in the campaign, was when PrOtoType after having trouble with his own creation, went to investigate the Owl and Spear and to talk to Braxion about his origins. When he met Braxion, Braxion immediately was fascinated by Oto and started looking just as he does when he dismantles his own machines. This panicked Oto and so he called upon Hephaestus, channeling his power he brutally interrogated and killed him. He found out the passcode to a facility, in the North, assumadely where Oto's "descendants" where being produced.
His final mention, was when Khantos Evergreen was at the Invernus Academy and a secretary was talking about how, a group had come to collect one of his older works recently, something he produced while he was still attending the academy.
