Boss Pyknic is one of the most powerful individuals in the Ruby Fortress. One of the four Bosses of the Fortress, Pyknic holds a position of power that lies outside of the fortress official leadership. They each belong to a family that controls a large portion of the fortress and the politics within.   Pyknic was born to a poor Gnome family. When his father passed away in a mining accident, he had to help his mother with the costs of living. Pyknic was clever, but also hot-headed. As a result, he had several business owners turn him down for apprenticeships. Slowly getting pushed out of several opportunities, Pyknic started his own ventures finding ways to skirt the laws of Scuno and the Anvilborn Council  Over time he started to be known as the Ruby Devil for the reputation that making a deal with him was not the kind of deal you wanted to make. He always seems to have a plan together for taking over more territory.

Biscuit! <3   Oops, I was reading it as 'picnic' for most of the article. I think he'd be mad at me.   A really interesting character!
