History
Oswald was born in another city, to two middle class parents, along with his twin sister. For as long as he could remember, he'd always been very interested in tinkering and technology in general. This was no surprise since his mother was an inventor and amateur engineer, she could create ingenious and simple machinery, and she greatly inspired her son to do the same. Oswald took after her a lot, always looking to learn and improve in any way he could. From drawing elaborate pieces of fantastical machinery, to crafting toys and modifying existing pieces. The boy always favoured being indoors and working on his designs and creations.

His sister was always more adventurous, opting to focus on the outdoors and the science of nature as opposed to the artificial. She was gifted, far more than him, to the point where she left school at age fifteen, to begin working as an apprentice researcher for their father.

As a result of his sister's accomplishments, Oswald was always seen as the not-so-bright twin. The label stuck with him, even though it was hardly fair.

The aptitude Oswald showed for technology led to him being sought out by many institutions, some wanted to educate him, while others were interested in having him work for them. Despite the offers he received, his decision was not made due to any form of desire for a greater future for himself. Instead, he chose to join up with an eccentric temperamental machinist from Steamhaven, because one day, on a seemingly routine visit to the city, she vanished.

Upon arriving in the city, he quickly discovered that his sister had joined up with the wrong crowd, and had disappeared of her own volition. This was her new life, for better or for worse, and she had made up her mind to stay. And, just as his sister had chosen to stay, so did Oswald.

And thus, the Mortimer twins were united once more.

Odette trained her brother as best she could, for life in Steamhaven, and life outside the workshop in general. Although he struggled, he did end up getting quite good at it. He best enjoyed traversing the city, learning the quickest and most efficient routes. Although he still enjoys indoor work, he has a great deal of fun travelling through the city for his simple tasks for the Ashen Kings. By day though, he works at the machinist’s shop, doing busy work, and occasionally going off on some passion project.
