Glymm is the leader of the gnome technicians and the chief pilot of the Colossus. He has Xentarich’s respect for his technical prowess. Glymm often plays practical jokes on the bugbears (particularly with his bag of tricks) so they hate the small illusionist (and might even attempt to slay him in a particularly chaotic battle). Khrull resents Glymm and the control he has over the Colossus, but he also recognizes his value and won’t’ betray the gnome. Glymm is not evil, but if the control room is attacked he defends it to avoid losing control of the “ship” (as he calls it).
