Overview
Background
Wulbren is a close friend of Barcus Wroot and leader of the Ironhand Gnomes. He and the Ironhands were stationed in the Decrepit Village in the Underdark, which was raided by Duergar slavers sometime before the events of Baldur's Gate 3.

Wulbren managed to find the formula in a small cache, but was captured as well. Recognised as their leader, and now possibly the only surviving person with the knowledge of how to make runepowder, Wulbren was taken to Moonrise Towers.
