7->Wreathed in smoke and flames, this blacksmith often toils for darker masters, outfitting soldiers and building deathtraps. Once, perhaps, he aspired to something better - a prince's commission or a place in the Imperial Court. Somewhere along the road, the artisan fell from grace; he may have been frustrated by a lack of skill; [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds beaten down by disaster]]; or betrayed by a rival. Maybe [[EvilAllAlong he was corrupt all along]], and simply [[DealWithTheDevil petitioned demons for abilities or rewards he couldn't earn on his own]]. Now he bends raw matter with Infernal might, shaping it with hammer, fire and [[FunctionalMagic arcane Arts]]. Sometimes he binds souls into the metal or traps spirits and lesser demons in the work, creating [[AndIMustScream mad Talismans that scream when they're employed]]. If he's particularly subtle, he might even cast weapons for the [[ScienceHero Order of Reason]], [[TheMole concealing his true allegiance]]. Either way, he's a product of his age, a master of old Black Magick and new inventions.
