Milo Krook

Milo Krook is a human living in the Krook House, in the Fownsee Hollow of the Core Spire of Jrusar. As an NPC, Milo is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Milo has beige skin and wears glasses and a knitted cap. They are friendly and generally extremely eager to work on any problem that involves tinkering.

Background
When the Nobodies — an odd-job band that Ashton Greymoore was a member of — existed, Milo was a frequent employer. After a botched burglary which resulted in Jiana Hexum magically shoving Ashton out a window of her mansion, the Nobodies dragged them to Milo's workshop. As Milo did not possess healing capabilities, they filled the hole in Ashton's head with glass and melted the gold that would have been Ashton's payment to repair his arm.

Milo dabbles in basic arcane automation and enjoys patching up Fresh Cut Grass.

Milo cooked an afternoon meal for Ashton and planned to do repairs around the Windowed Wall.

Milo met the rest of the group later named Bells Hells when Ashton brought the group to Krook House. They mentioned that they were working on some automated rats, and enjoyed seeing Pâté de Rolo. They also provided Ashton with a lead on the Hubatt Corsairs.

At the Krook House, Milo helped Ashton and the rest of the group make their masks for the masquerade ball.

Ashton, FCG and Orym visited Milo at the Krook House, so they could check up on FCG. Milo concluded quickly that FCG's issues were being caused by an excess of built up energy. Milo also upgraded FCG's arm, allowing him to more quickly swap attachments during fights.

On their way out of town towards Bassuras, Bells Hells stopped by the Krook House. At FCG's request, Milo crafted a propeller to substitute for his saw blade in swimming or falling situations. Ashton asked Milo what they remember about the job burgling Jiana's house in which Ashton was badly injured and incurred the debt, but Milo didn't remember much, and it felt weirdly fuzzy. Milo tells Ashton what they recall of the burglary and recovering Ashton afterwards, telling him they found him holding a crystal vial with a greyish liquid in it and poured it into his head wound.

Fresh Cut Grass contacted Milo via Sending, asking them to come to Bassuras and contact the Nobodies. Milo initially thought they were joking, but upon being told that he's being serious, then told him that they don't know where the rest of the Nobodies are and that they can't get there in time.

Quotations

 * Milo: So when are you going to wake up? You're being lazy. Ashton: Fuck off, what time is it? Milo: It's afternoon. Ashton: Fuuuck. Milo: Yeah, that's right.
 * Ashton: Have you seen Fresh Cut Grass around? Milo: Hey, Letters!
 * FCG: Thank you for patching up my whole thing over here. I appreciate it. Milo: Trust me, my honor. As a person who dabbles in automation on a lower arcane level, it's not every day you get the option to work with something quite as… deep as you, I'd say.

Trivia

 * Milo is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
