Gilnid
<The Smelter>
Level: 20
The Deadmines

Gilnid <The Smelter> is a level 20 elite goblin in The Deadmines. Gilnid is the head smelter for Edwin VanCleef.

In the crafting of technological automatons, Gilnid may have no equal. Amoral beyond the ability of the goblins to stomach, Gilnid was cast out of Booty Bay when his insane experiments ran amok in the city’s marketplace. Gilnid has no interest in politics, and plays no part in the Brotherhood’s decision making, but the Brotherhood funds his experiments and keeps him supplied with parts. VanCleef has enormous — perhaps too much — respect for his mad talents.^{DF 142}
