Information
Archmage Mixler Thaumajinx, the Red Wizard
Gnomish Engineer and Arcanist
Short, with thick brown hair and a big nose. Has laugh lines around his blue eyes, but worry marks are beginning to show on his forehead. Has a wry grin. Blushes easily. Wears a monocle, and red robes.
Easy to laugh and rather impudent, Mixler uses his innate charm without realizing it. Though hardly happy-go-lucky, he's easy going, friendly, and optimistic. Years of study and magic have made him rather scatter-brained, and though he's very intelligent, he often misses the point. Mixler is also naively curious, and has stuck his foot in his mouth more than once because of it.
Bio
Mixler was discovered to have mage-talent at an early age, and was sent to live and study in Dalaran. He blossomed in the academic environment, studying everything he could get his hands on. He currently holds degrees in physics, archaelogy, arcaneology, engineering and applied mathematics. Mixler also kept in close contact with his parents and numerous sisters, and was on his way to Gnomeregan for a visit when Dalaran was destroyed. Later, while on leave from the war effort, another journey home found Gnomeregan overrun with his parents still somewhere inside.
Mixler shortly began teaching classes at the mage academy in Stormwind to support his pack of younger sisters. While there, he became aquainted with several of the local nobility through the children they sent to his classes. Thus, after observing an attack in Westfall, he was not wholly dismissed when he proposed the idea of forming the GuildWatch. Since then, the 'Watch has flourished, and he has become more and more enmeshed in Stormwind's political atmosphere. No one knows how many plans and intrigues the unassuming gnome is privy to, but he's gotten in trouble more than once for sticking his big nose into places it shouldn't belong.
Only three monthes into his term as GuildWatch administrator, evidence presented by Shirkata Sullenmoon led the GuildWatch to launch its first and currently last preemptive strike against the Undercity. Mixler masterminded the plans behind the infamous the Tri-City Assault, which ended as a partial defeat of both sides. Since then Mixler has led forces in both the Battle of Hillsbrad, and the Battle of Alterac Valley, as well as scattered skirmishes around the globe.
In need of funds, Mixler obtained enough investor interest to refound the defunct SnowMaster Corporation, begun by his great-uncle Multipole Brassgears, who perished in Gnomeregan's fall. Though no will was ever recovered, it was commonly known Brassgears wished his assets to pass to his last male descendant. Mixler was given the family schematics to the immensely popular SnowMaster 8000 when he came of age. Now, a retooling and updated technology allowed the new SnowMaster Corp. to produce SnowMaster 9000s, and To this day at least half of all SnowMasters in Azeroth bear the Thaumajinx seal.
In the Spring after open hostilities resumed with the Horde, Mixler sequestered himself for two monthes within the Kal'doreian ruins of Eldre'thalas. There is little information on what happened during this time, but Mixler emerged a changed gnome. He wore various trappings of ogre royalty, carried tomes on magical techniques long forgotten, and began purchasing numerous raw materials and devices to be shipped to the Dire Maul. Possessed with new purpose, it was shortly after this that Mixler began gathering a group of young magelings and warlocks to begin training as his apprentices. Thus, the Arcane Academy was founded.
