Lore

"Most of the arena's bookies prefer to stay out of the limelight, but not Karl. In his free time, he's often seen mingling with celebrity guests, promoting various business opportunities, and delivering limbs to the capital's medical centers. What a guy!"

Trivia

• His name, according to him and people that know him is Karl.
• He is a Yordle.
  • As most Yordles he likely uses 'glamour', Yordle magic that manipulates how people see them.
    • 2 Arena Battlecaster sees him as a "Small, furry man".
  • Also, Yordles tend to take on characteristics of the places/positions they're in, and accentuate them, and he is no different.
