Abron is a Gnomish exile from the lost city of Gnomeregan. He fled the catastrophe that destroyed his home with the remaining members of his family and sought refuge within the Dwarven stronghold of Ironforge. Abron escaped with his sister and her three children, however in the process she was horribly wounded and crippled as a result of her injuries. Her husband, a member of the guard, was lost in their flight to safety. The surviving Scuttlemars were taken in by a very generous and compassionate Dwarven couple of the Brazeburn clan who serve as hosts to a number of families of Gnomish exiles in the city of Ironforge.
