Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III

**Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III** is a gnome artificer. He is kind-hearted and relentlessly positive. He strives to be a master artisan and, at only 30-years-old, he has already established himself as a premier tinkerer and craftsman among his guild.

Sprocket attended the coronation of King Demetrius. He spoke out against Aryan Grande's songs about gnome superiority. When the undead soldiers attacked the crowd, Sprocket was one of the heroes to take up arms to protect the innocent.

He took great pride in his shop "Sprocket In Your Pocket" where he sold tchotchkes to the people of Setessa. Every customer was greeted with a pun and smile. Sprocket was filled with joy when customers appreciated his crafts or inventions. Unfortunately, Sprocket's shop was destroyed during the attack on King Demetrius' coronation. True to form, Sprocket had a positive outlook on the demise of his store. He even forgave Dikarus Bottombane after it was revealed he destroyed the shop for the Spellfire Club.

While visiting a temple of Ephara with Holy Lady Labya, the goddess sent Sprocket a vision of a silver hand crushing the city of Setessa. At another Ephara temple, an oracle told him the hand belonged to an elf. It was later revealed Emma Diamondfrost, the Silver Queen of the Spellfire Club, had plans to conquer Theros.

Sprocket started identifying as SBG3 after finding his anvilwrought pride.

After SBG3 communed with the sentient star Hadar, he's heard the star's voice in his head and has been bestowed warlock powers. With Hadar's agent Emma Diamondfrost eliminated, he needs another to send him souls to sustain his life. Their connection has corrupted SBG3 with dark thoughts and impulses.

SBG3 and the rest of the Acolytes in Sexy Tights were able to defeat Queen Nekros and her army. During the festival celebrating their victory, SBG3 helped summon and kill Phaenax. He led a successful effort to have Layla ascend to godhood over Holy Lady Labya. After Labya destroyed Layla's body, the ghost girl possessed the cleric and the two ascended together to become Timeless Beauty and Grandfather Clock.

When Alpha Centauri tasked the Acolytes with a divine mission from Kruphix to saving Waterdeep, SBG3 decided to stay behind in Setessa to focus on his rebuilt business.
