Description: Zinkle is an avarage Gnome, tiny and short as every other of his race. He features a shaved head, green eyes and a long, bushy, red beard. Zinkle is a sort of fashion-monger, wearing well-tailored shirts and waistcoats or zoot suits and boasting a dandy-like attitude. He tries to act posh and talk fancy, but you can easily tell he's from the gutter.

Personality: Zinkle is a cunning, calculating and reflective, yet very stubborn Gnome. He's witty and clever, and boasts strong leadership and organizing skills. He's a master of deceive and a first class liar. He's a shameless cheater: he doesn't mind at all using dirty tricks and cheap shots to fight his opponents, making him a dangerous and unpredictable foe.

History: Zinkle was born and raised in Gnomeregan, the gnomish techno-city. Although as clever as the other gnomes, he wasn't into Science and Engineering as the rest of his race; leadership, planning and organizing were his strengths instead. Hot-blooded and impulsive, he soon became troublesome, picking up fights and committing small crimes, forcing the local autorities to expel him from the city - an offence Zinkle hasn't yet forgotten.

Rejected by his own race, he started living by one's wits, messing with the local criminals and the Khaz Modan underworld. Starting out as a petty thief, he soon earned the respect of the local gangland due to his boldness and inventiveness, and started getting in contact with the several Eastern Kingdoms' criminal organizations, eventually becoming a rather known and respected figure.

After years roaming around the Eastern Kingdoms he eventually decided to settle in Ironforge, where he enstalibshed a small street-gang,the so-called "The Forlorn Cartel". Mugging unaware passers-by and smuggling illegal goods, this gang rapidly became a thorn in Ironforge's side and a serious threat for its citizens. After some time the gang moved to Stormwind, where it developed into a proper criminal organization, large and extremely aggressive, well-rooted in the Dwarven District. After a few years Zinkle unexpectedly left Stormwind, leaving the organization to his underbosses. He hasn't been seen around since recently, when he unexpectedly came back to Stormwind.
