Background[]
Wymark is a daggersmith that specializes in small weapons such as daggers, darts, and handaxes. He was one of the first arrivals in the continent of Alivast and was one of many who helped establish the city. In exchange for his service to the newly established natuon. He had a shop in the Lower Crafting district down the street from Nine's boutique, but wasn't a full time weaponsmith. This is because his main job was being a stay-at-home dad to his two infant children while his wife, Kate, worked as a guard.
Wymark was originally from the Northlands, and was hired to survey Alivast in its earliest days. By his own recollection, the site was little more than a collection of tents and the Attic and he and others frequently had to fight off indigenous gnolls.
Wymark's wife, Kate, was an Eltmur native and her family owns several orchards there. The pair decided to respond to the Silver King's call for people to return to Eltmur, partly influenced by concerns that Alivast might be a bit dangerous for their growing family. They decided to take the opportunity to move to Eltmur, resutling in the closure of Wymarks' craft shop.
Relationships[]
Family[]
Wymark is married to a city guard named Kate who he met when the city was first being established. They were granted property in return for their service and started a family together. They have two infant children of similar ages: Susan, their biological daughter, and Ogo, an orc they adopted. Wymark usually goes about his business with one baby strapped to his front and the other to his back.
He dearly loves his wife and was enormously depressed when she was injured in the attack by the Dragon Cult.
Wymark believes the hectic nature of Alivast to be a little to much for his children, which was a deciding factor in the move to Eltmur.
The Unexpectables[]
The party found him when they were looking for someone who could make items out of monster parts they had harvested. Despite his insistence that he runs his shop as a hobby, the group is consistently impressed with the quality of his work and are some of his most frequent customers. Notably, Greckles has been using one of his creations as a signature weapon, despite its slipperiness. Task discreetly passed Wymark 200 gold as a thanks to his help after he rejected an offered payment of 400 gold.
