He was about to end up in debtor's prison when Arna offered to acquire his factory. He is proud, sentimental about his workers, and deeply grateful yet embarrassed by Arna's generous terms. He has eighty-seven workers, twelve apprentices, and four foremen. He is skilled with unconventional gear designs featuring asymmetrical teeth and nested bearings.
