Klaxxon Carbal

Klaxxon Carbal is a gnome and the best artificer in Copperforge. He is the queen’s personal designer. He learned some of his enchanting spells from a book he acquired from Quarry. He is a designer of battlebots, often through defective ones into his own personal junkyard under his shop, the Gearhead.

Klaxxon agrees to enchant Bubo's shortswords. Later, Iris, the queen's daughter falls into his junkyard and he help Ora, Bubo, and Nitsuj rescue her.

Through the instigation of Lord Elb Gabber, it is revealed that the Queen Sleekrun was building a large army of war machines and weapons in the Dungeon level, using Klaxxon's designs. When the group returns from the Dungeon, Klaxxon is suspicious of them, but still hands over the swords and ax that he has enchanted for them.

During the prison break of the Forgotten, Klaxxon turns his automatons on the prisoners until order to turn them off by Ora Stone. Afterwards, he is aware of the party's role in the destruction of the weapons.

Klaaxon attends the war council and makes his war machines available for the defense of the city. He also begins formulating last ditch plan to destroy the mountain if they are overrun. He helps repair the city's discs after the doppelganger terrorist attack.

During the battle of Copperforge, Klaxxon rides a clockwork rhinoceros through the battle and directs his clockwork menagerie. As the menagerie and discs in the mountain are damaged, Klaxxon dismounts and attacks the remaining orcs with a myriad of his weapons. As many Kurluk and many of his orcs enter the city, Ora shouts at him to "prepare the goodbye." When his clockwork machines are repaired, he leads them back into the mountain.

A day later, Klaxxon, carrying an injured Fizz Binkle with him, finds the party to inform that the mountain has been lost to Kurluk. He gives Ora the detonator, leaving the decision in her hands. He and Fizz join the party on their journey north, stopping briefly in Thatchweed.

After surviving a battle with two giant salamanders and an avalanche, Klaxxon continues north with the party toward the Steamfang Mountains. He is initially upset when Ora makes the decision to destroy Copperforge, but understands that it had to be done. All of his machines that were powered by the hearth of the mountain, including his menagerie and electricity weapons, stop working.

Continuing north, Klaxxon arrives at Gilborn with the party.
