Wulbren Bongle is a deep gnome who leads the Ironhand Gnomes. Wulbren despises the Gondians and the Steel Watch, and is working to destroy the Steel Watch Foundry in Baldur's Gate and rid the city of Gondians.
Overview
Background
Wulbren is an old friend of Barcus Wroot and leader of the Ironhand Gnomes. He and the Ironhands were stationed in a village in the Underdark, which was raided by duergar slavers sometime before the events of Baldur's Gate 3. Wulbren has since gone missing, leaving Barcus searching tirelessly to try and find him.

History
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
Wulbren Bongle is a descendent of Wolverforce Bongle, a member of clan Ironhand who, it is claimed, was spoken to directly by 
Gaerdal Ironhand. Gaerdal implored Wolverforce to speak out against the Gondians who had falsely taken credit for the Ironhand's creations. [1] Wulbren himself became obsessed with destroying the Gondians and restoring the name of clan Ironhand, possibly fuelled by his relation to Wolverforce.
Wulbren and the Ironhands were stationed at the Decrepit Village in the Underdark, surveying the area in search of Gaerdal Ironhand's formula for runepowder. While they were there, the village was ambushed by duergar slavers in collaboration with the Cult of the Absolute, who caught most of the gnomes and moved them over to the Grymforge.
Wulbren managed to find the formula in a small cache, but was captured as well. Recognised as their leader, and now possibly the only surviving person with the knowledge of how to make runepowder, Wulbren was taken Moonrise Towers.
Interactions
Chapter Two
Wulbren can be found in a cell in Moonrise Towers Prison. If he successfully escapes, he can be directed or escorted to Last Light Inn. At the Inn, Wulbren will be absorbed in planning. Barcus can be informed of his arrival, but their reunion is icy. If the player asks for a reward, Wulbren will direct them to Barcus for a reward, if he is present, or give them an amount of gold otherwise.
He can later be found in the first room of Moonrise Towers after Ketheric is defeated, where he will attempt to butter up the player to have them assist him in Baldur's Gate.
Chapter Three
Wulbren can be found in Angleiron's Cellar in Rivington, along with Barcus. He will ask the player to help blow up the Steel Watch Foundry as part of the quest Avenge the Ironhands, using a Runepowder Bomb. Once the Foundry is destroyed, he will meet the party outside to kill any remaining Gondians.
If the player sides with Wulbren, he will assist in the final battle (see Gather Your Allies).
Loot
Wulbren's Hammer - found upstairs in the Warden's room in Moonrise Towers Prison X: 575 Y: -647, and can be returned to Wulbren during his prison rescue quest.
