------
Rook originally lived centureies ago is the istka Imperium. With his talent for fire magic, he was very useful againt int invading Osirians. But their empire fell and he was chosen to be place into an automaton. He adventured for a while before being defeated in an ancient tomb. Still, his core was intact and eventually found. The adventuurers did not recognize what he was and he was passed from trader to trader before an inventor recognized the connection to fire and used it as part of a steam-powered construct. Once connected to a mobile body, the magic of the core began to connect to the body. It was designed to be part of a construct but the technological elements were crude compared to what magic could do. As the core began to rebuild this body, Rook slowly came back into sapience. The inventor was not happy about his property beginning to act up and sold him. There eventually came to be an issue with Rook asserting his rights and that led to an interesting period. (I haven't actually played Outlaws of Alkenstar, but that's where I had this concept)
After clearing his name, he travelled to Absolom. It was regarded as a city of wonders. One where a construct might not automatically be assumed to be a problem.
Rook is a human-sized construct wearing enveloping robes. He carries no weapons, but his body is made of strong metal. Wisps of steam can be seen from under the robes.
