Master Engineer Jorek Grimm of the Cragbrow clan, also known as Grimm the Great, was responsible for many of the ironclad ship designs that now steam out of Barak Varr. Grimm’s well-armoured fleets have been at the fore of many great victories. It is doubtful, however, that Grimm lived to see more than a few of his sea-borne fortresses built during his lifetime and he certainly never saw his vastly useful steam engines become accepted by his conservative-minded comrades from the guild. Grimm’s long tenure with the Engineers Guild ended poorly. He was expelled for his unorthodox, if ground-breaking, work and forced to endure the embarrassing Trouser Legs Ritual as a final indignation before being finally ousted.
