Horst Goblin Bane

Horst is a man from Deadgate. He did not always have the epithet 'Goblin Bane'. He was born to a father who did not believe in surnames and had an unremarkable childhood. His lack of a surname always deprived him of a sense of belonging: the world wasn't much interested in Horst and Horst wasn't much interested in the world. A few of Horst's friends decided to try their luck in the Ruins and Horst apathetically agreed. However, Horst and his friends were not cut out to be adventurers and they soon found themselves the victims of a goblin trap. They were caught in the nets of the Yellow Moon Night Goblins on the third level of the Ruins. Luckily for Horst, he was rescued by the party whodecided to give him a baptism of fire as he seemed to be a sniveling little git. All of Horst's friends had been carried away by the Goblins so the Horst went with the party to find them. Soon they were ambushed by the goblins but Horst did not shy away from the fight. Oh no - armed only with a small knife, he cut his way through ranks and ranks of goblins, spilling their green blood on the cave floor. And so it came to pass that, likely against his father's wishes, Horst gained the name 'Goblin Bane'. Tragically, Horst could not save his friends (some of whom he had known since boyhood) as they had already been eaten by a giant squig called Bonk. Thus, a legend was born - risen from the slums of Deadgate, Horst had a mission. He had been wronged by society; he had been wronged by goblins; but most of all, he had been wronged by himself: he never truly believed in himself. Now, however, he had the courage - spurred on by a sense vengence for his friends and the jovial insults of the rag tag band of adventurers that had saved his life, Horst would kill goblins until there were no more goblins to be killed.
