About
Balthazar is a lanky young man with ink-stained fingers and goggles perpetually resting on his forehead, living in a cluttered workshop filled with ticking gears and half-finished inventions. He works as a repairman for the city’s peculiar oddities, from singing teapots to self-walking umbrellas, often losing himself in the quiet hum of machinery. His world is one of brass and steam, where magic is just science waiting to be understood, and he feels more comfortable around cogs than people.
