History
Born in the year -5, Catelyn's childhood was little touched by tales of the distant first war. The first indication that her home may not have been the sanctuary she thought came at the age of 10, when the Orcs laid siege to Gnomeregan. The defences held, though, and it would be another two decades before she laid eyes on her first Orc. By the age of 18 Catelyn had resolved to pursue a tinker's career, and had formed a particular interest in clockwork mechanisms thanks to her fascination with the intricacies of the interlinked gears and cogs. A quiet life in the workshop would suit her just fine. Fate had other plans, however, and when the Trogg invasion came she found she couldn't sit idly by. Volunteering to join the defence forces, Catelyn soon proved herself to have a natural aptitude for combat. For five long years, the defence forces fought the Troggs. Ultimately, however, their efforts were for naught thanks to the betrayal of Thermaplugg. Catelyn was one of the fortunate few to escape the city, escorting the refugee caravans through the snows of Dun Morogh to Ironforge. Catelyn had met dwarves on occasion when they visited Gnomeregan, but living in Ironforge she found herself making fast friends with her distant cousins - even learning the art of piloting flying machines. Ironforge was far from safe, though, facing many threats of its own. Bouncing from job to job, Catelyn eventually found herself as a quartermaster to the Argent Dawn, and then the Argent Vanguard where she served at the reopening of the Dark Portal. In the year 26, at the age of 31, Catelyn encountered Mouse and Noriam in Ironforge. Realising that there were still Gnomes out there dedicated to protecting their people, as well as to retaking Gnomeregan, it didn't take long for her to join the Tinker's Guard under Mouse's command. Over the following year Catelyn regularly volunteered for support operations in the Holdout - indeed some of the Gnomes still resident in the city's Clean Zone joked that she may as well live there. By 27, the Alliance expedition to Northrend was calling for air support and Catelyn found herself stationed for a time at the Fizzcrank Airstrip. Like most remaining Tinker's Guards, Catelyn saw a considerable amount of action during Operation: Gnomeregan. With supply lines to the Holdout the most secure they had been in years, having a larger number of Gnomes remaining within the city long-term became more viable and Catelyn has largely been there ever since.
