Forgotten in WoW? Captain Cookie aka Crumbs from the Deadmines
In particular, lore fans of World of Warcraft and the Warcraft universe keep asking themselves what actually happened to certain characters. The question of what actually happened to Khadgar has become legendary. There are always secondary characters who come into the limelight of the current storyline and then are forgotten again after an expansion. Do you remember the circumstances under which Rhonin died? I actually had to look it up and found irritated that Rhonin is dead oO
It’s almost impossible to somehow keep track of characters in WoW lore that aren’t constantly being dragged into the limelight. This is shown, among other things, by the fact that some guys have ended up in the shadow lands and tickle our memory muscles there as a homage to bygone times when we accidentally stumble across them. One or the other will have looked amazed to discover during their Maldraxxus adventures that Lady Vashj serves as Baroness of the Necrolord House of Eyes.
Because I’m in the mood for it, in WoW’s lore (buy now ) In my little series I look at what became of some infamous secondary characters that everyone somehow remembers when you mention their name. Let’s start this episode off with Cookie aka Crumbs from the Deadmines, a character who, lore-wise, has absolutely no credit for his fame. Then …
Crumbs, the Smutje
… there is no meaningful explanation in the extensive Warcraft lore why Edwin van Cleef should give a murloc a job as ship’s cook on his secret gunboat, which he had built in the abandoned tunnels of an old gold mine. There is, I don’t think, any evidence in WoW lore that any other human, elf, dwarf, orc, troll or anything else ever hired a murloc. why? Murlocs speak guttural gibberish, are relatively underdeveloped in most cases, and are known primarily for defending their fishing grounds to the death. Mrglmrglmrgl and such.
We don’t know why Krümel, or Cookie in the original, became the ship’s cook. In the original Deadmines dungeon, he was an optional boss at the stern of the gunboat. Crumbs, primarily classified as a shaman thanks to Hearthstone, didn’t have the most noteworthy drops in its original version either. Pet fans cluttered up their inventory with the Siamese Cat Cage. Why Crumbs carried a cat in the pockets of his non-existent pants…for free. Back then, in Classic WoW, there weren’t any collections either, and that’s why Azeroth’s heroes always had to think for a moment whether they really wanted to block a valuable inventory slot with a pet. Crumbs were still knocked over again and again because of Crumbs Tenderizer, a rolling pin that counts as a mace and was especially popular for level 19 twinks for PvP.

“Captain” crumbs
After putting a stop to Edwin Van Cleef’s sinister plans in the original version of Deadmines – he wanted to take his gunboat to Stormwind City and bomb the city to the ground – Crumbs stayed with us in the Deadmines reboot as ” “Captain” Crumbs
You’ll find out in the new encounter that came into play with Cataclysm that Krümel, now equipped with a real cauldron and a pirate hat, is now serious about his “art of cooking”. Crumbs toss his poisoned misdeeds, and you’d do well to shuffle around the bad food in prime shuffle fashion. Why Cookie literally cooks himself during the fight remains a mystery, as does the background to his original employment contract with Edwin van Cleef.
Crumb’s end
Somehow Crumbs managed to survive the encounter with our heroes a second time. In the Warlords of Draenor era, he went to Talador to cook at the Chili – that was as part of a garrison mission and is of no consequence now. Of course, the question arises: Was that a crumb from our time or a crumb from another … well, let’s leave it at that.

The end of Krümel is relatively unspectacular. The extremely tough and defensive murloc was probably not tough and defensive enough to jump off the shovel of death one more time. In Maldraxxus from WoW: Shadowlands you can find Halis’ Henkelmann, a treasure at coordinates 31/29, at the house of constructs. Right next to it lies the remains of an undead construct, Chef Crumbs. The little guy had ambitions. Apparently they weren’t big enough to survive the Maldraxxus war machine. A celebratory mrglmrgl for either the worst or most cunning power-hungry chef in Warcraft history. Let us know in the comments which WoW characters you’re wondering what became of them.
