Enjoying the prestige which comes with being the biggest and smartest Natborn and a prime specimen of the House, Baraz Steelmaw is the Forge Tyrant of the Goliath gang known as the Market-Town Crashers. His Chain-axe ‘Spine-finder’ is often the last thing his rivals see before being brutally eviscerated by an excessive application of gen-hanced brutality. 

The 'Crashers are the operators of the only smelting pits in Ashton Gap, using the easy access to the exclusion zone of Hive Secundus to mix exotic and often dangerous materials into the alloys they produce. This allows them to create metals with interesting properties, from vibrant colouration to improved strength or plasticity. Due to their frequent forays into the Secundun abyss, it is rare to encounter a 'Crasher without their unique filter masks, which add another layer of protection to their already impressive gene-smithed resilience. Clad almost exclusively in drab green Furnace plate and fatigues, the glowing green of their indicator packs can often be seen in the gloom of the Underhells well before the gang themselves appear. 

Hulking brutes one and all, The 'Crashers count a few over- muscled vatborn Stimmers within their ranks. The strange effects of the Secundan abyss upon the stimms which give them their name has meant that several of the Stimmers have begun to sport strange and often horrific mutations; bone spurs, rending claws and grossly torn and swollen muscles to name but a few. So far, the gang have tolerated these changes, seeing them as purely advantageous to their control of the Gap. In addition to these brutes, the Crashers count at least one Unborn former Enforcer, ‘Noodle-arms Jackson’, amongst their numbers and there is always a steady stream of Forgeborn recruits eager to impress the gang and earn their place within it. 

As the level of conflict increases in Ashton Gap, who knows what escalation of violence it may entail, or who it may attract to an alliance with Steelmaw and his gang.
