Born: Farnsworth Grindlebolt

OCCUPATION:
Airship mechanic / Airship Broker

Once a sky-roaming mechanic aboard the Grand Aetherian Fleet, Farnsworth Grindlebolt spent years soaring above the cloudline, repairing engines mid-flight and negotiating safe passage between the floating isles. Blessed with a silver tongue and an encyclopedic knowledge of every dirigible, skybarge, and steam-winged craft ever built, Farnsworth eventually traded his wrench for a ledger and became one of the most trusted airship brokers in the World of Gearinthia.

A storm of fate carried him into Whimbrassel City, quite literally—after a navigation mishap caused his transport to drift off course and land him squarely in the bustling Cog Docks. Instead of returning home, Farnsworth found himself enchanted by Whimbrassel’s humming engines, brilliant inventors, and ever-turning gears. He opened Grindlebolt Aerial Acquisitions, a modest office tucked between two sky towers, where he matches pilots, merchants, and adventurers with the perfect airships for their journeys.

Known for his sharp wit, honest deals, and uncanny ability to predict weather shifts just by sniffing the wind, Farnsworth Grindlebolt has become the go-to broker for anyone hoping to take to the skies over Whimbrassel.
