He is the leader of the Ironhand Gnomes who was captured by the Cult of the Absolute due to their knowledge of making runepowder bombs. Biography: Wulbren is first mentioned by Barcus Wroot in the Grymforge after the gnome slaves have been freed from the Duergar, stating that him and rest of the Ironhand Gnomes are being held captive in Moonrise Towers. Upon reaching said prison, he can be found locked in a prison cell, where he tells the party of his plan to escape. He promises that if they can bring him a weapon such as a mace, and they distract the guards, he can break the wall at the back of the cell to escape, and then free the other tiefling prisoners. Once freed, he can be convinced to take a boat back to Last Light Inn, where he is finally reunited with Barcus Wroot.

Surprisingly, Wulbren acts cold towards Barcus, telling him that he wasted his time rescuing him and that he should have gone back to Baldur's Gate for future preparations. After giving little in terms of thanks to the party, Barcus is left to reward the players for rescuing him. Wulbren can be encountered again later where they narrowly avoided a conflict with the Flaming Fist, and have become fugitives. He gives the party a powerful runepowder explosive and tells them to place it in the Steelwatch Foundry to blow it up. When questioned further, he reveals that the main reason for blowing it up is to eliminate the Gondian slaves, who he blames for Gortash's power over the city.

The Steelwatch can then be raided and destroyed, and the Gondians can be saved in the process. The Ironhand gnomes will then arrive at the foundry, and Wulbren proclaims that they must kill the remaining Gondians immediately. At this point, Wulbren can be confronted about his evil ambition, and Barcus can be convinced to become the new leader of the Ironhand Gnomes, banishing Wulbren and saving all of the Gondians. Wulbren then gets angry and walks away, saying that he will get revenge on the party for betraying him.
