=== Background ===
The younger son of a merchant of Dragon's Jaw, Bronze Mirror was raised mostly by house servants after his mother died in his infancy. He never took as great an interest in the family business as his elder brother, Radiant Gold, and instead pursued history over profits. He would eagerly snatch up any old texts that found their way to the family shop, sometimes buying them at such losses that his father would slap him for "blatant lack of market sense". Many a night he would spend in his room, poring over stories of the bygone Ages, wondering if the world would ever know such splendors again, and secretly wishing he could live in such times.

One day early in his adulthood, Bronze Mirror saw his brother (now manager of the shop) stocking away a pile of old, worn-looking books he'd never seen before, and immediately offered to take them all off his hands. Radiant Gold at first refused, but finally acquiesced on the condition that they sign a simple contract for it, which stated that Bronze would serve him for a few years as an errand boy. Eager and trusting (and already feeling like a servant as the secondborn), Bronze agreed to this, and happily walked away with an armload of musty tomes, certain that at least some of them would hint at more bygone marvels. His elation gave way to weeping anger when he found the volumes to be nothing more than old sales records from when his father ran the shop, re-skinned and splashed with mud and brine by his cunning brother. In a rage, he threw the books into the fireplace, and confronted Gold before their father, demanding that the contract be torn up. To Bronze's further dismay, the father sided with Radiant Gold, saying, "A deal is only as fair as you make it. If you did not think to check before buying, the remorse is entirely yours."

After the shock of fraternal betrayal wore off, Bronze was little surprised when Gold piled further misery on him by charging him a great sum for the immolation of the salesbooks, citing that he had destroyed valuable store property. Not wishing the matter to be taken before the Realm satrapy (who would likely only beat the party that couldn't pay them off), Bronze bitterly agreed to pay him back the only way he could think of: scavenging relics.

His first expedition, a journey to the borders of the Silent Crescent went smoothly, but recovered little in the way of salable relics. The second, even deeper outing turned up an ancient structure, remarkably well preserved (no doubt from its isolation). However, further investigation of the building saw the loss of most of his search party to the many traps within. Bronze somehow survived and plumbed into the depths, where he recovered a priceless artifact: an orichalcum box resembling a small book, that spoke to Bronze in the Old Realm tongue. The artifact called itself "The Mother," and requested that it be returned to its rightful home. This revelation drove Bronze to his Exaltation, and instilled in him a great new purpose: to seek out the treasures and other lost technologies of the First Age, and discover the truth behind the Mother's existence.

Bronze Mirror, under the Mother's limited tutelage, decided that he could never return to his family as he was, believing they would take his priceless new ally from him and certainly rat him out as Anathema to the Wyld Hunt. Adopting a new (but strangely familiar) name of Loka Lemezugi, he instead became an "adventurer for hire", aiming to find more ancient Solar technology and restore the countless mechanisms that once made life flourish across Creation.

=== Appearance ===
[[image:YEAHWHATABOUTIT.jpg|thumb|250px|]]
An adult male in his mid twenties, Lemezugi stands at a height of 5'10", with a sinuous, sturdy build. Being both in hiding and in search of adventure, he dresses primarily for comfort, wearing a dull, dark shirt and trousers of rugged material, slightly stained with mud around the knees and hem. He wears a pair of shaded glasses to hide his bright orange-colored eyes, a defining trait within his family. When excited or preoccupied, he shows a tendency to spell his thoughts out loud regardless of the situation, leaving strangers in earshot to wonder if he may be somewhat mad, or just a big jerk.<br>
