Gelbin Mekkatorque is the current High Tinker (a title nearly equivalent to King) of the Gnomish kingdom of Gnomeregan, and has been for the last seven years. Mekkatorque is hailed as one of the most skilled inventors ever, and as a just leader. Unfortunately, when the Troggs invaded Gnomeregan, the High Tinker was ill-prepared for the attack. Misled by his traitorous advisor, Mekkgineer Sicco Thermaplugg, Gelbin flooded the city with radiation, killing more Gnomes than Troggs. Today, he resides in the Tinker Town district of Ironforge, and fronts the attempt to reclaim his lost city, sending brave adventurers into Gnomeregan (abbreviated by players as “Gnomer” or “Gnom”) to fight off the Troggs in a hope to perhaps one day reclaim his great city of Gnomeregan.
