Grindo Biggs is a rock gnome member of the Church of Gond, found enslaved in the Steel Watch Foundry.

“

About time someone showed up. Did we finally reach your 'dead gondian' quota? Is that why it took so long for anyone to help us?

— Grindo Biggs

Involvement

Grindo Biggs can be found on the lab floor of the foundry battling Black Gauntlet of Banes and Steel Watchers. He wears a  Kill Collar, which must be disabled by deactivating a  Motivator held by one of the Black Gauntlets.

If saving him as part of the quest ⁠Save the Gondians, he runs out of the lab and gathers with the rest of the Gondians outside of the foundry.

Idle conversation

Grindo Biggs can be seen having a conversation with  Borri Paver:

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  Explain - preparing the cadaver's brain.

  • Gondian Grindo Biggs

    Really? You don't know how your own Steel Watchers operate?

    • Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

      One finger. Another word, and it'll be your left eye.

      • Gondian Grindo Biggs

        Forgive me. The brains have a parasite inserted into their frontal lobes.

        • Gondian Grindo Biggs

          We preserve them in an embalming solution for longevity.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  This is not helping me work quicker.

  • Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

    I'm going to be merciful and pretend I didn't hear that tone.

    • Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

      Tell me - what are you doing?

      • Gondian Grindo Biggs

        Preparing the cadaver's brain.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  Is this some kind of test?

  • Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

    It's whatever I damn well want it to be. Keep going.

    • Gondian Grindo Biggs

      The parasite's psionic connection to the hivemind is what enables remote control of its Watcher.

      • Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

        Correct. Now, tell me - how excited are you to dig your stubby little fingers into a corpse's brain?

        • Gondian Grindo Biggs

          I am... excited. And fortunate to work on such a momentous project.
