-Grumbling Behemoth’s name tends to be all that is needed to sum him up. He's huge, even for a Roegadyn, reaching bit over eight fulms in height. Wide shoulders, thick bones and dense musculature help create the figure of a juggernaut – a figure he maintains by a combination of rigorous training and simple genetics. Bearing so much weight often results in his movement being hulking, slow and deliberate. He’s very awkward in a world made for much smaller beings.

-Grumbling Behemoth is a member of the Skysteel Manufactory, though he’s rarely actually seen there. He shows up to get tools and supplies and seems to vanish again; some suspect he doesn’t actually contribute in any form. He tends to outright refuse to discuss mechanics, opting instead to simply go about his work. This behavior is apparently tolerated only because he doesn’t take much, pays for what he *does* take, and, when given work, always completes it quickly, reliably, and without fuss.
+Grumbling Behemoth is employee of the Fated Inn and can be found there most of the time. Most noticeably he's the cook responsible for all handy technological upgrades and a perfectly organized order inside the kitchen. When he's forced to leave his delicious meal producing hideout and work as bartender it's obvious the asocial giant is both uncomfortable and very awkward at any work that includes social interaction of any kind so it's a mystery why he decided to work at an inn out of all places. But when the kitchen and bar closes he can be seen cleaning up, straightening the place and fixing any damage to bring it back to its spotless cozy perfection and there is no doubt he does his best and works hard to keep the inn running.
-There are speculations that he had been hired by [[Eliane Dufresne]] of the Bellworks, he had been seen entering her office on multiple occasions but any details of his supposed work for the company remains closely guarded secret.
