He was born the 12th child of a Glassblower who specialised in time glasses. Cronos saw the light of lamps, so to speak, as he was born at midnight sharp. Growing up in eastern Flurg, high uplands at the western side of Mt. Cobvi, one of the 5 highest mountains in Midgard. Very little threatened the population of the town, and most there were specialised craftsmen and artisans, as people had been for hundreds of years.
So Cronos experienced a secure childhood, and with all the elder siblings taking up different crafts, he had plenty to learn from. When he came of age, around 1182, various masters of his siblings began to notice that he had passed their apprentices in skill. Despite the fact that he was sort of self-taught, he seemingly just knew to connect the dots of things, and when he was 16 he was in fact an apprentice with 11 different masters.

When the century turned into the year 1200, he was so skilled that people came from all over northern Midgard, Findon, and Mealis came to share knowledge and offer work contracts. It’s said that people like Lionel, Setil, Atallanti, Dogil, and many more. Came by to get things produced, fixed, or copied. But in 1212, he closed his workshop and left, leaving a huge gap in the demand for exceptional things.

F.F. Jaeger told me he met Cronos at MT. Vula and Wrekazi told me Cronos worked with her on the concept for the magic glass balls. He left in 1231, though, after the first was completed.

And in 1235, he gained a seat in the Guilders Council, most likely due to his vast understanding of 12 different crafts. Yes, 12, the 11 of his siblings, and a thing of his own, which he had named himself as a Penduller. Guess it’s about swinging from one end of things to the other, then back again, ever expanding the distance covered. As in things learned. But he never elaborated on it.

He left them again in 1240, and I think he went straight to serve in the Gyron Lords.

When High King Black Oak resigned; Cronos left the Gyron Lords and travelled to Halkistal. As anticipated, he met Black Oak and Krokus there, having many late-hour talks. Deepminded told me she gained the impression that Cronos and Krokus had met several times before. And him being a warrior from Ye Olde Zephyrs now that he left The Shore Ravens. She wouldn’t be surprised if it dated back to the times when the 1st Alliance was scheming.

Cronos stayed there for the summer, then left. And was not seen again until Battle of Weeping Plains.

Organisation

I think he is still affiliated with the Gyron Lords if they exist as an organisation anymore.
