Tinkmaster Overspark's been ingame since Vanilla, where he handed out some quests for Engineers and the Gnomeragan dungeon. He was also present in Pandaria AND Legion.
In those quests, he seemed pretty nice overall
I am Tinkmaster Overspark, and I am the chief architect for modern gnomish engineering principles in the world today. It is my job to ensure that the power of invention continues to shine brightest from our arclight spanners than anywhere else!

He did call the Forsaken freaks, but hey, it's not inaccurate and having SOME bite to him gave him personality.Sky Admiral Rogers says: Put that vile thing out of its misery already.
