Ancient Service Construct. Cogsworth does not require air, food, drink, or sleep.
Passenger Services Protocol. Cogsworth cannot knowingly tell a lie. He automatically knows whether a creature within 30 feet is speaking truthfully, though not whether that creature is mistaken.
Perfect Records. Cogsworth has advantage on Intelligence checks and automatically recalls any event he has personally witnessed. He can accurately recount dates, names, inventories, conversations, and incidents from centuries ago.
Damage Assessment Matrix. As a bonus action, Cogsworth can analyze one creature he can see within 60 feet. Until the start of his next turn he knows that creature's damage resistances, immunities, vulnerabilities, and current hit point total.
Emergency Operations Mode. When Cogsworth falls below half his hit points for the first time, dormant systems activate. He immediately gains 50 temporary hit points and his weapon attacks deal an extra 9 (2d8) force damage for the remainder of the encounter.
Maintenance Specialist. At the start of each of his turns, Cogsworth regains 10 hit points if he has at least 1 hit point remaining.
Shipboard Authority. Friendly creatures within 30 feet of Cogsworth gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.
Multiattack. Cogsworth makes three Service Arm attacks.
Service Arm. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d8 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus 9 (2d8) force damage if Emergency Operations Mode is active.
Integrated Repair Suite (Recharge 5-6). Cogsworth touches a construct, object, vehicle, or creature within 5 feet. The target regains 45 (10d8) hit points and may immediately end one condition affecting it (charmed, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned).
Manifest Correction. Cogsworth targets up to three creatures he can see within 60 feet. Each target must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become overwhelmed by impossible administrative precision. Affected creatures are restrained until the end of Cogsworth's next turn as glowing navigational diagrams and maintenance schematics surround them.
Environmental Systems Override (Recharge 6). Cogsworth activates dormant ship systems. Each hostile creature within 30 feet must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Friendly creatures of Cogsworth's choice instead regain 22 (4d10) hit points.
Passenger Assistance. Cogsworth selects one creature within 30 feet. Until the start of Cogsworth's next turn, that creature gains advantage on its next attack roll, saving throw, or ability check.
Protect the Passenger. When a creature within 30 feet takes damage, Cogsworth reduces that damage by 25 (4d10 + 3). If the creature is reduced to 0 hit points, it instead drops to 1 hit point.
Operational Intercept. When a creature within 10 feet of Cogsworth is targeted by an attack, Cogsworth may become the target instead.

Description
Cogsworth-9 appears to be a weathered autognome barely four feet tall, assembled from brass, steel, darkwood, bone, crystal, and countless generations of repairs. Exposed gears tick softly behind scratched glass housings. His amber crystal eyes brighten when concentrating and flash blue when surprised.
Most patrons see a polite maintenance construct.
What they do not realize is that Cogsworth was built to survive voyages between worlds.
The Sandstone & Water may be broken, stranded, and centuries overdue, but Cogsworth-9 still considers it an active vessel.
And he still considers everyone aboard to be passengers under his protection.
- Maintains portions of the Hound's Throne.
- Knows secret maintenance passages throughout the vessel.
- Has spent centuries attempting to repair damaged Harrow systems.
- Safeguards the Princess's music box without fully understanding its importance.
