King Mordred

"King" Mordred
Title: Sovereign of the Scrapyard
Role: Mordred is a massive man covered in heavy, salvaged armor that is a patchwork of Steamfort steel and Kigum silver. He leads the "Iron Scavengers," the largest and most powerful guild in town. He rules with an iron fist, exacting a "protection tax" from every merchant and scavenger who operates in his territory.
Secret Motivation: Mordred is a former general of the Ironbeard Syndicate who was left for dead during a botched raid in the Mana Wastes. He is secretly building a "Wastes-Army" of mechs and mutants, planning to march on Steamfort and take his revenge. He is being supplied with "Void-Cores" by agents of the Whispering Lich, Kel'Thuz, in exchange for "certain artifacts" recovered from the ruins.
Adventure Hook: Mordred hires the party to "recover" a specific crate from a Steamfort transport that crashed near the lake. The crate contains a prototype Aether-Generator that he needs for his army.
