Niv Izzet is Rock Gnome Artificer from the world of Alarra. Some would say he is fearless to a fault. He always sees the good in others and is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Overlook obvious solutions in favor of more complicated ones.
Niv is often seen jotting down notes in his note book, concocting a strange new potion, or sipping on some fine Arkonian ale. He is currently traveling with his fellow companions from the Galazaar’s Adventurers Academy: Jack, Twang, Gorethrial, and Merial.

Early life
Born and raised in Arkona, Niv was the son of two professors, Serje and Reshi Izzet, who taught at Arkona’s University of History and Ancient Cultures. Niv was naturally gifted in school and quickly surpassed the rest of his cohort. He was accepted into the university at the early age of 16.
Since his parents worked full time, he spent much of his early child hood with is grandfather, Alabaster Izzet. Alabaster was a well known inventor (hard of hearing and slightly senile) who created very few inventions that actually worked as intended. One of these inventions was the famous airship Helga the Great (aka Little Missy). Alabaster would take Niv “sailing” to neighboring kingdoms and cities.
The early years of Niv’s professional career were spent working for the university as an archaeologist. During this time he discovered and studied several ancient tombs and temples across Arkona. During this time he became quite familiar with alchemy and different types of magical artifacts.
He eventually earned a professorship at the University, teaching students about Magic Artifacts, Mechanical Engineering, and Alchemy. After two years he became disinterested with his teaching position, finding it to be rather dull. Niv retired from teaching and set out for a life of adventure!
Pinchers
Being involved with so many projects, Niv came to realize he needed a few extra hands. These extra hands would of course need to double as tools from time to time. Growing up on Arcona, and island nation, he knew of the perfect specimen. Using the ghost crab has his inspiration, he created a clockwork homunculus/familiar named “Pinchers”. Pinchers happily spends his time riding along on Niv’s shoulder, helping to pick locks and tinker on small clockwork devices.
Tezzeret’s Tomb
During his time at the university Niv helped uncover an ancient tomb that once belonged Tezzeret the Inventor. While excavating tomb, Niv found an ancient text left behind from Tezzeret himself. Niv has tried many times to read/understand the text yet to no avail. As far as he can tell it is a design to a powerful device must not fall into the wrong hands. Niv carries this text in one of his many pockets…
