Volume I - 1909

Ziggurat ("Gary") - The fearsome Ziggurat to many, "Gary" is in actuality a typically mild-mannered friendly giant. He’s made of steel and other alloys, but because he was created by a talented magician cum metallurgist, or “metalmancer,” he possesses a genuine personality. Every now and then he wonders about his true nature, if he has the proverbial heart or not, if he is an unnatural creature, what he was intended for, and so on. Such ponderings lead him to be on the whole somewhat melancholy and existential. However, he is a great friend to Edie, a good shot, a witty conversationalist, and a sharp dresser.
