Borgrumm was a famous Inventor in the city of Cragmoor. Despite having begrudgingly helped the city with tools they hoped to use in war, he was eventually viewed with mistrust by the tyrannical council of the city and a campaign of character assassination and false accusations were levied against him. One day he was shot and murdered through the glass window of his tinkerers shop, which the authorities blamed on his adoptive son, Ashur Holdok.
