Biography

Commerce under the pressure of the Styles

Claptrap begins as a frustrated merchant whose plans have collapsed, but he refuses to surrender the opportunities opened by Randidly's arrival. A dangerous contract with Artisan Dwei and the Crashing Wave Style pushes him to secure hundreds of armor pieces, making Randidly's Engraving skill central to his survival. Their hurried bargain grows into one of Randidly's treasured memories of simpler Tellus days, and the later nickname Trap preserves an affection that outlasts their diverging Paths. (Chapters 133, 143–145, 177, 987)
