## Description

### Appearance

*"The fine dressed half orc carries himself with great dignity, wearing a fine jacket over a suede vest. A golden pocket watch chain dangels from a pocket, placed around a button on the vest. His bald head reflects the dim light of the library and beneath his hooked nose sits a thick mustache curled upward, covering his upper lip, brings the ensemble together."*

-Excerpt from Puddin's campaign notes.

In game, Gomez was said to have an appearance that resembles "Major Armstrong from *Fullmetal Alchemist*, but a half-orc."

### Personality

Lord Bahdrugghar believes in presenting well as he is never seen not dressed in a sharp manner that reflects the modern sensibilities of the Orcish people. He tries his best to maintain a dignified manner, but his extreme effort makes him seem eccentric. Despite his age, the Lord is quite energetic, but he still maintains an air of dignity and respect as if he was present in court, regardless of the status of the individual be they king or commoner. The excitable half-orc loves the prospect of adventure and discovery, but as he ages, he has learned to set aside the perilous lifestyle in exchange of enjoying such stories of daring feats in far away places as shown by his request to have the Emerald Caravan test pilot his proto-type airship. Lord Bahdrugghar does not appear to be driven by wealth as he sought out the Cult of the Immortal Engine to aid him in creating his device and not an industrialist like Jepp Zebros.

## Biography

### Background

Lord Gomez Bahdrugghar hails originally from Dragonsand, but over the course of his life, he found himself a resident of the Orcish colony in Urukspear (Traditionally known as Yulespear). He originally served with the Orcish Navy. After being discharged, he found himself in command of a sky whaling vessel where he found his true passion; aviation and aeronautics. As an aviator, Gomez Bahdrugghar is famous for being the first person to fly and command an airship from Maywikt across the Shimmering Ocean to Shivar. His feats have aided in solidifying airships as a legitimate form of transportation as word of the possibility of airships spread. This feat, done so in service of the Orcish Empire, secured him his title of Lord.

Gomez did not intend to stop innovating in the field of aviation. After taking a break from public life and traveling shows, Gomez returned to the drawing table with a new airship design in mind that he needed the aid of a steam-priest to construct; the damselfly. Gomez had conceived of the contraption while out fishing, and he saw a damselfly land on the water. It is this airship that has brought Lord Bahdrugghar to the Oprix Academy. In the past, he has done work for the Weave, but this time, he is asking the Weave to do some work for him.

### Campaign

Lord Bahdrugghar is first mentioned in the Oprix Academy letter that Oleander received while the Caravan was in Brisa as wanting to parlay with them after being impressed with the tales of their foray into Hex. In Wren's Run, the Emerald Caravan met him to which he admitted he was a bit of a fan. It was his idea to have the Emerald Caravan serve as the test pilots for the Damselfly while the Oprix Academy would receive a means of transportation for their premiere arcane procurers.
