Tinker King
The unfinished invention of a gnomish artificer, the Tinker King is the culmination of years of work by the inventor Gimble Daergel, and the apocryphal deeds of his lesser inventions to finish his work when he died. An amalgamation of a clockwork gnome body, mixed with body parts from Gimble and his family, and powered by some form of necromantic energy source.
The Tinker King rules over the former Daergel Estate, now known as Tinkerer's Folly, organizing the other clockwork and steam powered creations to do his will.
