Zangrim Tarkeby is a Gnome Artificer and member of the Pieces of Eight.
Early Life
Zangrim grew up in a large Gnome family. The Tarkeblys were all talented craftsmen, but Zangrim eventually learned that he was the only one with the spark of artifice.
He used the spark to become a talented shipwright.
The Kraken Mishap
Zangrim spent a lot of time and resources building a special ship for King Skotti. This ship, the Stealthjammer, was imbued with displacer beast blood and could become invisible.
On its first test drive a Kraken, Scylla, destroyed the Stealthjammer and consumed it. Zangrim lost his eye during this incident and also fell into severe debt.
Moving to Saltmarsh
Zangrim moved to Saltmarsh and tried his best to repay the debt. He fixed ships and repaired buildings all over the town. He even managed to find somewhat free acommadation at The Snapping Line.
Joining the Pieces of Eight
Zangrim's luck was really looking up when Anders Solmor asked him to join a special team that the town council formed. Anders needed the team to investigate a spooky haunted house.
Zangrim didn't like the idea of going to that old house. He saw it as a kid before it was haunted, and it was bad enough. But his hands were tied because of his debt to the King, so he joined up.
