Gyo Warpwrench

Gyo Warpwrench was a citizen of Gnomeregan and renowned techno-mage. He was a father to Ozisus and Azuri, teaching both in the ways of the arcane from a young age alongside their mother Selkie.

During the fall of Gnomeregan, Gyo and his family found themselves cornered and under attack by the relentless waves of troggs. In a last-ditch effort to escape alive, Ozisus attempted to open a portal to Ironforge for his family to escape through.

Alas, the portal's trajectory was off by several hundred miles to the west, dropping Gyo, Selkie and Azuri in the ocean just off the coast of Kul Tiras. With Azuri freezing the water underneath them to construct a makeshift raft, Gyo sent off a magical flare to get the attention of a passing merchant ship bound for Boralus.

Gyo had assumed the worst had happened to his son in the incident, and so the family settled in the Kul Tiran capital with nowhere else to go. Living a modest life as a family of enchanters and watchmakers, they made a name for themselves in the Crosswind Commons.

Abduction
Some time prior to the outbreak of the Fourth War, a strange incident of disappearing gnomes spread through Boralus. Gyo and his family would fall victim to this wave of kidnappings, taken in the night without leaving a trace. He, along with Selkie and Azuri, awoke in the mythical city of Mechagon along with hundreds of other gnomes taken from the Kul Tiran city.

The despotic King Mechagon offered them a chance to be free of the Curse of Flesh and live forever as the Titans intended. Gyo, not being one to follow the discoveries of the Explorers' League, was unsure of what the former King of Gnomeregan spoke of, but initially joined his family to start anew in a true gnomish city.

His fortune would not last for long, however. As the young Azuri grew enraptured by the outlandish technology, Gyo began to notice the sinister undertones to the seemingly perfect metropolis. Protesters would disappear overnight, and the sentries which had been rolled out across the city filled him with unease. While his wife and daughter were initially sceptical of his fears, he eventually convinced them that it would be best to leave.

The family did not get far before they were stopped by city guards, informed that they were prohibited to leave Mechagon's confines. Gyo attempted to resist, fending off the sentries as the other two made a run for the surface. While he managed to keep them at bay, Gyo's wounds were too great to fight back for long; the gnome would meet his end being thrown into a recycling unit.
