"Does he ever sleep? His eyes are dark-circled, but his hands are steady."[1]
The Tireless Mechanic is a talkative and somewhat scatterbrained engineer.[2]
A Grave Mistake
The Mechanic does not sleep, and takes a draught as a substitute.[3] His enthusiasm for engines led him to dream of them, and then of the Stone Pigs - the savage creatures that allow the Bazaar to travel between stars.[4] The pigs are asleep for now, and the Fingerkings mine their dreams; so being the opportunists they are, the dream-snakes recruited the Mechanic as his mind dwelled upon the Pigs. He found a secret in the Pigs' dreams, the plans for an engine unlike any other. Fascinated, he stole it from the serpents rather than destroying it as they asked,[5] and now the Fingerkings will catch him the moment he sleeps and steps back into Parabola.[6]
The Mechanic hid the stolen secret in Frostfound,[7] and now intends to retrieve it and use it to build a device that will chase away his serpentine pursuers and let him sleep again.[3]
