Lore
Gelbin Mekkatorque is the leader of the gnomes, from World of Warcraft.
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Gelbin Mekkatorque is the current High Tinker of Gnomeregan, and is also styled "King of Gnomes".
- Gelbin has been at the helm of the gnome race during some of its most difficult and trying times. Since his title is an elected one, the fact that he has held his position throughout such hardship is a testament to the love his people have for him.
- A brilliant inventor, Gelbin Mekkatorque rose quickly to prominence among the meritocratic gnomes with his innovative designs and creative problem-solving skills. He built the very first functioning mechanostrider, assisted in the development of the dwarven siege engine, and was instrumental in the creation of the Deeprun Tram running from Ironforge to Stormwind City.
- Although one wouldn't know it from looking at him, the loss of Gnomeregan weighs heavily on the high tinker. He was unprepared for the invasion that swept through his beloved city, and he was betrayed by a trusted advisor who convinced him to react hastily, resulting in unnecessary deaths. Now Mekkatorque's brilliant mind has taken on a surgical focus with one single outcome: the retaking of Gnomeregan.
Trivia
- Gelbin Mekkatorque's entrance music is taken from Battle for Gnomeregan. This sting is shared with
Tinkmaster Overspark, Millhouse Manastorm, Nat Pagle, and Captain Greenskin.
