Description

Boris was a magic haversack that magically transformed into a clockwork being after the Shields of the North were killed and brought back by the Morninglord. There is no explanation as to why the magic that inhabited the haversack transferred and materialized into the creature's body.  One thing is for certain, Boris holds a big grudge against Palentin, for defiling him when he was in haversack form.

Strangely though, Boris defends Palentin with a passion, stating that only "him" can kill the halfling.

Boris's new form and role in the party promises to be... interesting.
