Gregory Williams

Gregory Williams is a toymaker; one who spends most of his days carving figurines out of wood in his workshop and then the other half of the day giving them out - sometimes as gifts for his friends. Once aiming to become an engineer, he found that he was much more passionate about making little toys and puzzles, as well as carving wood. He immediately changed his career path - even if his new choice didn’t bring in as much coin. He’s become a friendly person; one passionate about his work and one who looks at life with a smile - even when it does get rough.

Backstory
Greg was born to a rich family. Because of this, he got a great education and wonderful gifts as a child - but the one he cared for the most was a wonderful music box: made with gold and jewellery. But what Gregory really liked was the engineering behind it - the way he spun it and the music started was simply magical to him, and those nights when he fell asleep listening to the notes were when he knew that he wanted to create things. Every afternoon, he would study how clocks and other things worked, dedicating himself to engineering. He soon found he had a hard time working with bigger projects and that instead - using physics and simple machines to create small toys was much more enjoyable for him. He moved away with only his music box, and after a voyage filled with misfortune and a terrible storm, he wound up on the Isle. After arriving on the isle, Greg found himself in an entirely new world - taking the cheapest possible option in the Mount Bronze Inn. He stayed there for quite a while, slowly learning more about the isle he inhabited. Shortly after, he began introducing himself to the pirates, making friends with many, but finding a particularly strong bond with the then Dread Captain Azarok; the unlikely friendship led to Gregory having a new understanding of magical creatures - and a particular love for dragons.



Appearance and Gear
Gregory wears a dusty and dirty suit and tie - clothing from his rich upbringing even if it shows wear and tear. His facial hair consists of a moustache and sideburns that are a bit unevenly shaved, and his fingers have some bandages on them - probably from getting stuck between toy parts or cutting himself. His gear has grown over time - now he holds plenty of carving tools, as well as a dagger with a sheath covered in infernal sigils.

Personality
Despite finding little success in the toy-making industry, he’s a confident man who always tells himself he’ll get better. His little success has come from his work ethic and immense generosity, although whenever he thinks of something he finds interesting, he won’t stop until it’s finished. He’s also overwhelmingly polite, always smiling and always being kind to everyone. This leads to him rarely commenting on aspects of people’s appearance in a shocked, and in his mind rude, way even when the person he speaks to isn’t human.
