* Background/ personal history: Ignatius was born into wealth and privilege. His great grandfather was a prodigious inventor, and industrialist in Gearburg. By the time his father, Cornelius Cogbright, inherited the family money, it had grown many fold. His father, who was a bright and talented inventor, invested the majority of the family money starting a company with a childhood friend Edmas Thomison. Together they set about inventing the next revolutionary gadget. After years of trial and error Cornelius developed the self striking fire starter, which would revolutionize the camping industry. Cornelius married the love of his life, Florina. Sadly, Florina died shortly after the birth of their first and only child, Ignatius. Florina’s death devastated Cornelius. He withdrew from social circles and let his business partner run the company as he saw fit. When he had finally recovered from the loss, he returned to work only to find that Thomison had patented the self striking fire starter in his own name. Worse than that, he had Cornelius declared incompetent and had taken full control of the company and its assets. With little choice, Cornelius and Ignatius had to sell most of their belongings, including their house, and move in with relatives of Florina. Cornelius worked any job he could to make some money, but his life was his son. Ignatius was a small and out going boy, who was constantly bullied by the kids in his new neighborhood. That is until his cousin Beuford, known as Bobo, moved in with the family. Bobo and Ignatius became fast friends. Bobo was strong and towering, for a gnome, and acted as protector for Ignatius. Ignatius returned the favor by ensuring no one took advantage of Bobo’s trusting nature, and teaching him to read. Ignatius made a living in his early years by repairing broken gadgets to resell, and playing cards. As he grew in skill his father would tell him “one day, with your mind, you will be a great man.” This stuck with Ignatius. Upon his father’s death last year, Ignatuis swore he would one day invent something so world changing that he would overshadow the Eastinghouse company and  restore his family’s name. He packed up his belongings and decided to head out into the world, hoping that through new experiences the world would tell him what it needs. Though he invited his beloved cousin, Bobo has a wife and child that he can’t leave behind. Ignatius promised to send back money whenever he could, and that he would one day return and restore their family.
