*Purveyor of secrets, barterer of knowledge-this was all Ali Fargham, the man known as the Gnome, appeared to be. When Helspont and the WildC.A.T.s clashed over control of one of the legendary Orbs of Power, however, the Gnome revealed his true motives-he wanted the Orb for himself. Defeated by Jacob Marlowe and his WildC.A.T.s during that encounter, the Gnome has subsequently returned to his role of information merchant while he awaits his next opportunity to seize ultimate power. *Source: Back of card
