Steampunk Engineer

My name is Erick Flintlock. I was an orphan raised in divinity's reach, ever since I was a little child I dreamed of becoming an engineer, but was dirt poor and had no one else to rely on, except for maybe a charity or two. While I didn't liked it I survived by stealing and blackmailing the nobles, they would pay decent penny to keep their scandals under wraps. I saved all the money that I could and traveled all across Tyria, looking for a mentor that could teach me all about engineering.

While on my travels, I met a warband by the name of Claw (I seriously don't get their naming conventions, but alas, they took me in after I offered some money). I traveled with them for about a year, I decided to leave the warband after they decided to venture north, to slay a so called Claw of Jormag or something, I was too busy with my engineering studies to care about anything else. Haven't heard from them since.
