Ipmerk was outsmarting his clutch siblings virtually since hatching. Where others would try to use brute force and coercion to get what they wanted, Ipmerk knew that such tactics were distracting and not for him. If he wanted something, he sneaked around to get it from behind someone's back, and if there was retaliation, he had plenty of tricks and traps waiting to confound the brutes.

As Ipmerk got older, he was taken under the wings of the tribe's greatest trap makers, who saw exceptional potential in him. They taught him how to not only make traps, but to safely disarm them, and even move through them without setting them off. Ipmerk bears a number of scars on his body from the failures of his past, but wears them proudly to show his progress.

With the discovery of the technology that occasionally found its way into their warren, Ipmerk perused it all with intense scrutiny. These things made setting up traps easy beyond belief, and he could craft them with remarkable speed! He wanted more of this tech... he needed more! So when the great tribe Oracle told them to go north and visit a town where purple fire burned bright, Ipmerk immediately leaped at the chance, going as a scout and technology expert to sort out what would suit the tribe best, and what quality pieces to bring back.

Ipmerk is brutal, relentless, and objectively paranoid about his surroundings. Being as small as he is, he feels an instinctive need to be this way. As such, he is constantly on the alert for danger and checking himself himself. As such, he has learned to develop traps almost better than anyone else in his tribe, making him something of a celebrity and considered an artist by his lesser peers. This status does mean a great deal to Ipmerk personally, but he does take pride in a trap well-built and a plan executed with great precision.

Ipmerk generally regards his kin with a neutral expression, and values results and hard work over status or appearance. If you can get a job done, or at least have the sense to get out of the way so it can be done right, you're good in Ipmerk's book. Ipmerk has a fascination with the technology and tools that seem present in and around Numeria, and more than once, has stumbled across these things and studied them thoroughly. He believes that these devices might hold the key to making his tribe superior through out all of Numeria, if not the world, and is keenly interested in getting his claws on as many as he can.

Unfortunately, Ipmerk has learned that some softskins believe these devices should be theirs alone - this so-called Technic League. As such, he finds these impudent creatures to be contemptible - how DARE they try to horde what rightfully belongs to the Blightscales?! Although Ipmerk regards most bigger races with neutrality or, at worst, distrust, any who vocally oppose this organization are potential allies that may be worth assisting.
