Apollyon the Artificer

Apollyon is a figure in Orcish folklore, whose name roughly translates to "Breaker of Things".  

In Folklore

Apollyon the Artificer's story appears in Ninety-Six Nights in the Iron Sultanate. The story goes that Apollyon built a door to the Throneforge of Termagant, the Iron Sultan(a) where he petitioned Her-or-Him. She-or-He agreed in recognition of his boldness and skill, provided he could beat Her-or-Him in the game of Iron Chess. Termagant's version of Iron Chess requires the players to craft their own pieces, which then animate and fight. In his story, Apollyon ran out of metal to craft his pieces and so convinced Termagant to bring him alcohol (as is custom in Orcish hospitality) and crafted his pieces out of iron tankards.
