# General Info
Constantine Chronosmith, the grand artificer and time-obsessed genius, fell prey to his own creation. His final experiment went awry, causing a temporal anomaly that trapped his essence within the Clockwork Tower. Now, he exists as a ghostly echo, flitting between moments and spaces within the tower, appearing unpredictably to offer advice, issue warnings, or, in some cases, hamper the progress of the adventurers.
 
His temporal existence has had a profound effect on his disposition. The once jovial and enthusiastic inventor is now a far more unpredictable entity. His mood can shift dramatically, reflecting different aspects of his life and personality. One moment, he could be the wise and eager scholar offering invaluable knowledge, and the next, he could be the frustrated, irritable inventor, lashing out in anger at his own failed experiments.
 
This unpredictable nature, combined with the invaluable insights he can provide, makes the Echo of Constantine a fascinating, if unreliable, ally. His understanding of the tower's workings is unrivaled, and his clues can be the key to surviving the dangerous mechanisms within the Clockwork Tower.
 
## Plot: Clockwork Tower
As an NPC, the Echo of Constantine offers a lot of room for creative roleplaying. The DM can use the Echo to deliver important information, mislead the players, or provide unexpected aid, depending on Constantine's mood and how the players interact with him. His unstable temporal touch also adds an interesting mechanic to combat encounters, with its effects varying based on the target's past actions.
