If their role predates the rebellion they may have been used to magically destroy rock and further the mine, and if not they may have been intended as breachers, leading the charge into tunnels or chambers occupied by their foes, smashing through the walls magically. The wallcrashers seem to have been the mages of the gigant community. This was exhibited by a member of the tribe that referred to itself as the mastermind, and employed the use of bombs and flame as well as magically cowing the slimes of the mind to its will. The gigants seem to have adopted the more sophisticated techniques of their former overseers at least in part, likely learning from the remnants of the Mines’ equipment left over after they were sealed in. Stonehoarders were likely responsible for gathering and protecting the ore recovered by the mine. These tremorwards also used remarkably similar equipment and techniques to Kottos, a powerful gigant slain in the first purge of the Mines, and he may have been a standout member of their ranks. The tremorwards and quakequellers found in the Mines were presumably those gigants that were chosen as specialist workers tasked to work on keeping the Mines intact during earthquakes.

There was a number of roles fulfilled by the hecatonchieres in the Mines, the first of which was a warrior caste known as the skullcrushers known for using their enormous pickaxes to do just that- crush skulls. Description: Sorely mistreated slaves first of their cousins in the gigas tribe, then the forces of Thorne-dynasty era Ul’dah, the hecatonchieres’ journey terminated here in Copperbell Mines, having revolted after the binding magics in their helmets failed and then been sealed in the mines depths by overseers terrified of the consequences of their dark deeds.
