Lore[]
Zwergen kind wasn't always associated with relentless and barbaric rushing into battle going for as many kills as possible, well, not in the local bar at least. They rarely participated in any actual battles, their role was reduced to providing arms and equipement for armies of other races, or inventing new ones. Nonetheless, despite a total majority of community accepting this turn of events, there was always the black sheep in the family.
Rachet was one of the Zwergs who disagreed with how his people are treated. He really wanted to obtain both political and military independancy for his kind, in any concievable way. Break any contact with the Empire, keep the technology for yourself, establish an army, do anything to show the humans that they can handle themselves. Obviously any of his ideas got rejected by both the former goverment and the folk, always due to the same argument: "We were made this way, our physique won't let us to do any of these, we'll always need to be backed up by someone else, end of story".
Everything changed when the news of the Duskbringer attack upon the empire spread across the whole Magnifide. A group of Zwergen engineers, including Rachet, were sent to the empire territory to establish makeshift workshops and provide weapons for all the soldiers. Once they reached their destination, Rachet decided to use the situation to his advantage. During the breaks, he decided to spend his free time on thinking how he could join the battle and wipe the Duskbringer away. And so, that's how the project of his mechanized suit came to mind, he used all the spare, usable resources to make his dreams come true. All the spare time he had, dedicated to his warfare masterpiece, to show everyone that he had found a way for his people to fight back, and to show that they were all wrong.
On one unlucky night, when Rachet's prototype wasn't complete yet, all of the crew realised that the demons broke through their defences, and attacked the workshop. Rachet knew that it wasn't the time yet, but he knew that he had to do something. He quickly put the suit on, and rushed into the battle. Despite the overwhelming odds, he managed to single handedly fight off the enemies and save his co-workers. Once it became quiet, Rachet left the workshop to investigate what actually happened, he saw the signs indicating that something bigger was going one somewhere else. He decided to follow the footsteps of the demons, which later on led him to the Prime Gate. All he could saw was carnage and massacre, Veterans and Duskbringer, fighting each other until the other one drops dead, none of them holding back. Rachet knew that he would never regret his decision.
"Everyone was born to do great things, I was born to show Zwergen the meaning of those words." - Rachet
