Burlok Damminson
Burlok Damminson is a Dwarf Master Engineer, Guildmaster of the Dwarf Engineers Guild and Dwarf Lord. [2]
He is considered to be one of the greatest engineers of all time and like all true Dwarven engineers, Burlok is a strong traditionalist [1a][4a] when it comes to his work, believing firmly in the tried and true methods of production. [2][4a]
History
Though now discouraging innovation, in his younger days Burlok eschewed the Guild's traditionalism and together with his friend Sven Hasselfriesian, secretly engaged in all kinds of technological experiments. [2][4a] Their inventions included Warpfire Distillery, Aerial Wonder Rocket and the legendary Steam Radiophone. [4a]
Eventually his days as a technical innovator ended with an accidental pressure vessel explosion which blew off Burlok's arm. This turned Burlok around and he began to become more of a traditionalist. Sven meanwhile remained unfazed and continued his reckless innovations, and was eventually expelled from the Guild.[2][4a]
He has a son, Grimm Burloksson, the youngest Dwarf ever to become a Dwarf Master Engineer. Like his father Grimm is rebellious towards traditional Engineer values and his seniors worry that he is following the footsteps of his father before the his tragic accident.[5a]

To replace his arm he designed the B.I.O.N.I.C (Burlok's Ingenious Offensive New-matic Integrated Constrictor) arm which gives him unsurpassed strength.[1a]
