Curtis

**Curtis** is a minor character appearing in Broken Age.

## Biography

He is a lumberjack by trade and enjoys flannel shirts and collecting vintage furniture. He used to date Becky Yorn, author of the Riddle of Yorn. He does not miss her at all.

### Act 1

Curtis is a woodworker, but the forest where he gets his wood from has magical talking trees who yell at him when he tries to cut him down. This has resulted in him boarding his cabin up and hiding in paranoia and fear of trees coming to get him. He even tore the trees out of pictures he has out of fear that they were "staring at him." However, he still loves to woodwork, especially making stools, and will happily carve any non-talking piece of wood people bring to him. He made stools for Vella, Dead Eye Courtney and Dead Eye Dawn when they brought him large pieces of driftwood.

### Act 2

In the second half of the game, Curtis has moved on from wood and to metal working. He is only a beginner though and makes metal sculptures out of pre-made molds. He helps Shay to make a Superconductive Gyroscopic Hypercam.

## Quotes

Vella: "Are you sure you don't want this art?"

Curtis: "No, you ruined it."

"Oh man. I feel a stool coming on!"

Shay: "What are you making there?"

Curtis: "Art. Forged from metal. I used to work with wood but it was getting all trendy, thetreesstartedtalking, and there was no money in it so I got into metal."

## Trivia

* Curtis was originally cut from the game, but fans liked his character so the developers brought him back

* Curtis is featured on the Double Fine Adventure poster, but in his earlier design
* Curtis is the first character revealed for the game, but was not named or specified as of what his role would be

## Marekai

**Marek** (voiced by David Kaufman) is a character in *Broken Age*.  He is a stowaway on theBassinostra watching over Shay.

## Story

***Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.***

Marek first reveals himself after Shay sabotages the runaway train 'mission'. Marek claims to be a man in a wolf costume that has been watching Shay as he grew up.  Explaining why he wears his costume to Shay, he states he wears it in order to hide in Shay's toy piles to keep an eye on him.  Marek helps Shay break free of Mom 's grip after he manages to break one of the daily adventure simulators.  He tells Shay that the universe is at war and that Mom has been hiding it from them.  He says that they cannot stop it but that they both can save creatures that are being held hostage by a unknown enemy.  He gives Shay the ships controls and star charts so that they can save the alien hostages.

The ship soon discovers that they are capturing the survivors and stops them to prevent Shay from getting hurt.  Marek gives Shay a list of instructions to get the ship back in their control.  After Shay completes the three tasks, Marek gives Shay the controls again, but quickly becomes aggressive in tone as Shay attempts to save the last hostage.  The ship is then under attack and Marek is trapped under a steel girder which is fake but nobody noticed, yelling at Shay to go and find a safe place.

In Act 2, it is revealed that Marek's real name is Marekai, and he is a member of an elitist race called the Thrush that lives beyond the Plague Dam. The Thrush must collect "primitive" people from what they call the "Badlands" in order to diversify their gene pool.

## Personality

Marek has a quiet calming voice that can quickly become agressive.  He is angered easily but talks calmly to Shay so that he does not scare him off.  He becomes agressive quickly when Shay disobey his orders but he quickly calms down. When it is revealed that the ship is actually part of the artificial construct Mog Chothra and the "alien hostages" were actually kidnapped maidens, it may indicate that Marek has also a deceptive and manipulative nature as he was mainly responsible for this operation and may have tricked Shay into this. It is unknown how old Marek is, but since he says that he's been watching Shay grow up over the years, it is most likely that Marek is at least a few years older than Shay.

Alex claims that he had a cello named "Marek" who tricked him into helping him in a similar manner to the way the wolf tricked Shay. Since this happened over 300 years ago it could mean that Marek is over 300 years old assuming they are in fact one and the same.

Golden Egg

"Oh man. This thing is HEAVY. Good thing I have these cloudshoes on."

Golden Egg is an item in Broken Age.

## Obtaining

All three golden eggs can be found in Meriloft. One can be found in the area behind the Nesting Grounds in a nest. There is a grumpy bird in that nest, so you will need the Cloud Safe Ladder to access it safely. The second egg is found with Jessie. You will need to give Jessie her egg back to receive it. To get the third egg, talk to Harm'ny on his cloud. Tell him you want to kill Mog Chothra and then ask him if he's using the egg. The egg will fall onto the area below him. Go back down the ladder and retrieve it.

## Using

In Meriloft, place all the eggs into Harm'ny's offering nests. Then jump on his ladder to make an entrance to the forest below.

## Notes

* There are three of these eggs in the game.
* The golden eggs are false eggs that the preeners put into the nests of birds who forget that they do not have eggs. They are made of gold so that they are too heavy for the birds to carry away.
Brommel

## Brommel Beastender

**Brommel** is a minor character in Broken Age.

## Biography

Brommel is the maternal grandfather of Vella. He is be stubborn and strong while also being loyal to his family. He is the only member of Vella's family that shows contempt for the Maidens Feast.

**Spoiler warning: *Plot and/or ending details follow.***

### Act 1

At the beginning of Vella's story hides the ceremonial knife in an attempt to stop her from entering the Feast.

### Act 2

He goes with his family to Meriloft to look for Vella. It is mentioned through conversation and him often striking people with his staff, such as Ch't, that he was a warrior when Sugar Bunting was known as Steel Bunting. He then boards Alex's ship to look for Vella. At the end, he beats the thrushmaster with his cane.

## Quotes

Vella: "Why do you hate the Maidens Feast Grandpa?"

Brommel: "Because this used to be a town of WARRIORS. It's a travesty, Vella."

Vella: "Why'd we stop being warriors?"

Brommel: "Levina Clench and her ilk. Said there was too much bloodshed, pushed for appeasement. So we went soft. Became a town of...BAKERS."

Shay: "Did you guys see that bake sale over there?"

Brommel: "Yep! Frosted them cakes myself. Fastest gun in the west!"

## Trivia

* The name Brommel comes from the Old English words meaning "hollow where the broom grows"
* Apparently he lost his eye from a fight with Mog Chothra, but it is unlikely
* He is shown in the End Credits beating the Thrush President with his cane, hugging Vella and cheering her on as she makes a cake

**Released** - *1 March, 2016*

* Made the Localized language correspond to the Language Setting for ARK in your Steam Client, with the following supported languages (Thank you so much, volunteer ARK translators, you're the best!!!!).

**Note: if you want to use a non-English language now, you must set it in the "Languages" tab of the Game Properties within your Steam Client, as the game does NOT automatically select your Steam Client language if it is already installed. You will only have to do this manually once, and it is automatically chosen for new ARK installations.**

English: en

German: de

French: fr

Italian: it

Spanish: es

Simplified Chinese: zh

Traditional Chinese: zh-TW

Russian: ru

Thai (NEW!): th

Japanese (WIP): ja

Polish (NEW!): pl

Danish (NEW!): da

Dutch (NEW!): nl

Swedish (NEW!): sv

Hungarian (NEW!): hu

Czech (NEW!): cs

`-culture=en`

* You can no longer grab onto ladders thru walls.

* Torpor now increases per level on creatures as a percentage of their max torpor, not via an absolute value. Makes big highlevel creatures tougher to knock out.
* Tribechat key can now be rebound via UI

* Punching structures you can't damage (such as metal) still hurts you now, so you can kill yourself in metal cages etc.

* Mountain Stones now have a lot more metal. Still more to do here (actually new resource visuals and rich metals on the mountain summits) but wanna reserve the full map update 'till Friday, as it will require more testing.
* Dinos can no longer damage metal structures. Rockets are now using "demolition" damage type which makes them as effective as C4. All explosions effectiveness vs structures increased 50%.
* Grenade Engram moved to level 30, & no longer requires Crystal to craft.
* Visual Glitches ("popin") on caves with low view distances is fixed.
