			===Early Life===
	Eeb Fudd was born to parents Donald and Nacy Fudd in a middlecass suburb of [[Arindell]]. Though a poor student, Eeb demonstrated some knack for learning languages and was a prolific reader. He completed compulsory education at the age of 17 and enrolled in a university in [[Sun's Beacon]] where he studied linguistics.

Returning to Arindell at the age of 23, Fudd's first job was heling with the [[A.Y.]] 2148 restoration work on the [[Great Library of Arindell]].

	==Work in the Library==		===Work in the Library===
	Fudd had always been an avid amateur historian and was interested in undiscovered or lost languages. As a linguist his own work never amounted to much, but he was a good speaker and a talented writer. He was working on a science fiction novel about a lost civilization while employed at the library, and worked in motiffs related to the restoration work as part of the plot.

	Ten years after discovering the strange book, Fudd recognized the script on a piece of jewelry, and finally identified it as [[Marconian]]. No long-form texts in the original language of the Marcon Alliance were then known to exist(just translated copies of dubious quality and authenticity), so Fudd was elated at the prospect of a major find.

	By this time, Fudd had risen to the rank of a junior Librarian, a very esteemed position, but one in which he was seen as ill-suited. Unlike most employees of the great Library, Fudd was not a dues-paying member of the [[Stormwind Antiquarian Society]]. He viewed them as more of a club and had never felt a part of his salary should have to effectively be paid back to his employers. It was a small wonder he remained in the job as long as he did, without even a free junior membership in the organization.

Eeb Fudd was an author, linguist, and amateur historian who lived during the early [[Ages#The Second Age|Second Age]]. Fudd is best known for his book "'''On [[The Marcon Conspiracy]]'''" about the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]]'s deliberate efforts to destroy the memory of the Marconian people. He spent the last decades of his life managing an auto-parts shop on the outskirts of [[Agra]].

==Early Life==
Eeb Fudd was born to parents Donald and Nacy Fudd in a middlecass suburb of [[Arindell]]. Though a poor student, Eeb demonstrated some knack for learning languages and was a prolific reader. He completed compulsory education at the age of 17 and enrolled in a university in [[Sun's Beacon]] where he studied linguistics. Returning to Arindell at the age of 23, Fudd's first job was heling with the [[A.Y.]] 2148 restoration work on the [[Great Library of Arindell]].

==Work in the Library==
Fudd had always been an avid amateur historian and was interested in undiscovered or lost languages. As a linguist his own work never amounted to much, but he was a good speaker and a talented writer. He was working on a science fiction novel about a lost civilization while employed at the library, and worked in motiffs related to the restoration work as part of the plot.

While working in the library, Fudd happened upon a large cache of books in a language he had never seen before. Believing the find to be important, he kept one for himself(a major violation of library policy) and tried to interest his superiors in the discovery. Nothing came of it, and he eventually sold the book to the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]] who promised to translate it for him as part of the fee. At the time this slight went unnoticed and Fudd continued to work at the Library as a catalogueist, identifying and logging books as they were received.

During this time, Fudd self-published a series of science fiction novels, but so no real success as a writer. He gained a few fans but never recouped his costs.

Ten years after discovering the strange book, Fudd recognized the script on a piece of jewelry, and finally identified it as [[Marconian]].
