History

Backstory

Trottenheimer was the developer of the original Megaspell, first employed by Fluttershy as a means of healing large numbers of ponies simultanesouly. He was approached by Goldenblood and made the lead researcher of Project Starfall, his intimate knowledge of Megaspells made him the ideal candidate for the project.

During the war

Trottenheimer worked on Project Starfall, trying to create a non-magical means of using a Megaspell. He took the job for protection that Goldenblood provided and to provide for his family. The result of Project Starfall was a large, unique, pistol-esque weapon called Trottenheimer's Folly. According to his personal logs, Trottenheimer was also involved in Project Horizons.

Trottenheimer was shown comforting Goldenblood after the death of his daughter (Actually put in stasis by Sanguine.). Trottenheimer was the one who convinced Goldeblood to return to work and got the other project leaders ready for a meeting in two days time.

Post War

During the megaspell fallout, Trottenheimer turned Folly on himself and shot himself in the head. The weapon pierced the heavily protected walls of Ironshod Firearms R&D, his skeleton was discovered by Blackjack when she found Trottenheimers office. The hole Trottenheimer's Folly left in his skull looked melted, likely due to the heat of the weapon. He made a final entry in his terminal, expressing regret and describing himself as well as a farewell to his family.

Notes
