Drak Grolsson
Drak Grolsson is an ingenious Endrinmaster of Barak-Nar.[1a] He led the kharadron forces to victory during the Aether War.[3a][2a]
He is one of the youngest kharadron of Barak-Nar to receive the position of Endrinmaster. Too ambitious to be content with his current rank, he seeks to become a Master Arkwright and own a workvault in Barak-Nar's Hall of Artificers.[2a]

History
Battle of the Azgal Mountain
The Barak-Nar minelaying squadron of Admiral Bjarnus Tragg was the only asset available to defend the Aether-gold Refinery in the Azgal Mountain from the Bloodbound Warhorde of Kavarus Rex.[2b]
The Kharadron chose to stand their ground and turn the industrial tangle of the refinery into a booby-trapped killing ground. Then-Endrinrigger Drak Grolsson suggested superheating the refinery's aethermatic generator to the brink of detonation, redirecting the resulting thermal cyclone through a series of outflow vents and into the enemy forces. Kavarus Rex and hundreds of Bloodreavers were instantly steamed alive, ensuring a decisive kharadron victory. This and the negligible damage sustained by the refinery pushed Barak-Nar's Endrineers Guild to promote Grolsson to Endrinmaster.[2b]
A New Invention
To reach the coveted position of Master Arkwright, Grolsson invented the aethermantic repulsion field, a device that pushes any arcane energies away from the wearer. This device allowed the Kharadron Overlords to venture into territories previously thought magically impassable, notably Griffon's Eyrie. [2a][1b][3a]
Aether War
- For more information see: Aether War
A sky-fleet led by Admiral Bjarnus Tragg used Grolsson's aetheric forcefield to venture into Griffon's Eyrie, a region controlled by the Cult of the Transient Form.[4a]
The kharadron expedition discovered more than extensive aether-gold deposits, however, for they stumble upon a dark ritual that would see a deadly magical storm unleashed upon Barak-Nar being performed by Magister Ab-het and his Tzaangor Shamans.[2b] After Tragg's Ironclad, the Intrepid, suffered critical damage, he commanded Grolsson to lead a small force to destroy the source of the aethermatic storm.[2a]
Grolsson and his force made their way towards the Azure Crown, located at the very centre of Chamon.[2c] The Tzeentchian plot was successfully thwarted, but the Great Sky War intensified.[3a]
