Captain Tread Sparknozzle is a gnome quest giver in New Tinkertown. He is Gelbin Mekkatorque's gruff advisor. His eye patch is a testimony to his years of battlefield experience. He originally appeared during Operation: Gnomeregan, overseeing the training of new recruits prior to the battle.

Following the Argus Campaign, Tread accompanied Gelbin to the Hall of Explorers in Ironforge to a meeting with Magni Bronzebeard. During the Fourth War, Tread assembled Gnomeregan's finest soldiers and tinkers into the Gnomish Elite Aerial Rangers, an elite task force under the command of a gnome adventurer, which ultimately ended up thwarting the leper gnome Telzo Sparkspanner and his plans for decimating gnomanity.
