Background
Unlike many of his Gnomish Brethren Grizzle was tough, he focused on his strength and resolving his problems with strength, therefore he found his greatest tinkering niche within building, constructing and tinkering with things that could both take or give a beating.

When he reached adulthood, at 30, he left his hovel, said goodbye to his parents and became a traveller. Astride his custom built Mechanostrider he set off in whatever direction he deemed appropriate... North seemed good. He traveled that way for a long time, tinkering, building constructs and generally helping other members of the Alliance, he was on the road for 20 years before he finally decided to settle down.

Lordaeron was good a place as any. He worked in Lordaeron to help advance their defenses, showing them new toys and more importantly new weapons. At this point he met the love of his life... Not that she knew it. Marin.

He was obsessed with her, eventually even becoming good friends with her, but he never did have the courage to say anything to her.

Another many years past, too many to count

The Plague Began

Grizzle survived through his own will, even though refused Millitia service due to his stature, he continued fighting for Lordaeron against the Scourge but alas, the love of his life was taken by the plague, and turned to a foul zombie.

Knowing nothing else could be done he killed her.

He returned home with a hate in his heart, like that of the Troggs.
