He/Him

**Telemarketer of Amyrvol**, known on this wiki as **Telemarketer (GearTrip)**, is one of the main characters of the Shenaniverse.

He is a tier 2 Sellbot, the Hero of Amyrvol, one of, if not the only Cog to successfully move between realms, and a fairly popular character in the Shenaniverse. During his time in Dumbartonkirkshire, he became slightly more nonsensical than he was when in Amyrvol, though he retained a decent amount of intelligence and common sense.

## Roles

He serves as a major character in Season 1 of Shenanigears, a supporting character in Season 2, 3 and 4, and one of the protagonists of GearTrip.

## Biography

Not much is known about this Telemarketer's past, except for the fact that he was born in 495 somewhere in the realm of Amyrvol.

In his first appearance in *GearTrip: Into The World*, he and four other Cogs decide to go on a journey to cross into Dumbartonkirkshire, with reasons of making such a radical decision being unknown. During the journey, he and his fellows were attacked by forces of evil, which were at the time widespread, as it was the Seventh invasion of evil. On his way, he and his fellows entered the Westernmost kingdom and were welcomed by King Steve, who reinforced them with soldiers. After some more time, the company decided to stay in the Abandoned Mines for the night. While checking the Mines, they were attacked by orcs, and Backstabber was fatally injured during the battle. After that, Telemarketer decided that he and his remaining companions will head to Fork, and he commanded Westernmost soldiers to return to their kingdom, though they were attacked by more orcs on the surface. The remaining soldiers went, while the three Cogs headed for Fork.

Soon after, they arrived in Fork, where they were stopped by Fork soldiers, and, after Telemarketer requested to "talk with the person in charge of this place", they were sent before Lady Galadriel, and after requesting assistance, they were granted with a squadron of Fork soldiers, and told to head for Helm's Deep. On their parting, Lady Galadriel gifted Telemarketer a shotgun. They arrived in Helm's Deep, and stayed until nightfall, when the fortress was besieged by orcs, and had to escape through blowing up a weak wall, while taking GLaDOS with them. When they arrived at Fork the next day they discovered it was under attack by orcs, and were told by Lady Galadriel that "an ancient evil has returned", meaning the Evil Bunny, saying that they must be defeated if the Cogs want to succeed in their quest. They were told to make for the Golden City and were given additional reinforcements. While leaving Fork, they battled against an orc pack, and won. While travelling, they were ambushed by a droid platoon, but successfully escaped.

When the company arrived in Golden City, they were greeted by Elrond, who wanted to have a word with Telemarketer. During the audience, Elrond informed him that forces of Evil Bunny are after him and his company, however the audience was interrupted by a Nazgul attack on Golden City, during which Elrond died. The company fled from Golden City and came into the abandoned Traeth, from which they sailed into Oceantown, however the Evil Bunny saw a vision of them, and ordered the Witchking and the Nazgul to attack Oceantown.

Despite their boat sinking, the company arrived in Oceantown the next day, where they were stopped by Oceantown soldiers. Telemarketer was sent before King Theoden, and his request for refuge and protection was granted. The following night, Oceantown was attacked by the Witchking and the Nazgul. The Cogs participated in the defence of the city. When Telemarketer was ambushed by the Nazgul in a hangar, he activating a lift down into the water, and defeated them when he came back from the entrance, although this resulted in the remaining two Cogs thinking he got killed, though they later met with him, where he informed them about the Witchking and gave Short Change the proton gun. The Big Cheese was killed by the Witchking, who then got killed by Short Change and his proton gun. After discovering that both The Big Cheese and GLaDOS were killed in the attack, he decides that it's time to move for Isengard.

His participation in the Battle of Isengard included killing multiple orcs, as well was a Balrog. After discovering that Short Change, his last Cog companion, was killed in the Battle, he decides to finish it and kills the Evil Bunny, which earned him the title of "Hero of Amyrol". After the battle is over, he discovers the death of King Steve, says farewell to Lady Galadriel, and swims in a boat across the realms.

It's unknown what he did during his first years in Dumbartonkirkshire, however he eventually became a receptionist at "The Reception". In *Reception Showdown*, while working his shift he had "a bad interaction" with Flunky, which resulted in him killing the latter. It can be presumed that he lost his job due to that incident. On Xmas that year, he discovered that the Evil Bunny returned, and now lives in Dumbartonkirkshire. In *Aliens in a City*, he defended "a city" from an alien invasion. In *Hunt Down the Easter Bunny*, after Flunky was resurrected by the Evil Bunny, he intervened, killing the Evil Bunny again and using "mind hornets" on Flunky, converting him back to his original state. As of *Fade*, he resided in Mobenix, or as Cogs called it - Heim, and lived a peaceful life, writing tales.

In 820, he decided to sail to Heaven, after growing weary of his life, and was given a farewell by Downsizer, Loan Shark and Glad Hander. Then, he boarded his boat, looked at the Cogs there, who were saluting him, for the last time, and sailed away to Heaven. This event became known as The Final Boat. As he sailed away, Flunky looked at him from the shore. It can be presumed that he, as the Hero of Amyrvol, was accepted into Heaven.

## Heroic deeds

* **Participation in the Battle of Isengard:** During his quest to cross between realms, he was involved in the battle between forces of good and evil, and ultimately participated in the Battle of Isengard on the side of good, where he killed multiple orcs, a Balrog, and ultimately the Evil Bunny themself.
* **Saving Dumbartonkirkshire from the Evil Bunny:** When he found out that the Evil Bunny has returned, Telemarketer has frequently prevented him from succeeding in his plans. During the final phase of "Operation: Retribution", he once again killed the Evil Bunny and converted Flunky back to his original allignment.

### One unheroic deed

* **Killing Flunky:** For pretty much no reason, Telemarketer killed Flunky, which would be undone during "Operation: Retribution". It seems that as of The Final Boat, Flunky has forgiven Telemarketer, as the former did come to the latter's departure.

## Skills and abilities

* **Firearm usage:** Telemarketer has been shown using multiple firearms, but mostly a shotgun.
* **Sailing:** Telemarketer was able to sail to Heaven on his own.
