Spine

Spine is a goblin rogue from Eriabourne who is a long-time member of the Bloodsworn mercenary company.
== History and Personality ==
Spine and Murk were two goblins from the southern plains, members of a tribe slowly being driven to desperation by attacks from orcs and Brotherhood of Brenna warriors. Their chieftan, who was descending into madness, ordered the two goblins to assault the Brotherhood army camp. After the situation turned to violence and Murk and Spine killed the chieftan, they fled into the hills, never looking back.
After finding an adventurer's journal in a dwarven ruin, they learned of a hidden treasure in the castle of Widow's Watch. They travelled there together, but split up while entering the fortress, driven off by the sinister Nerull cult gathering within. Spine remained hidden in the upper quarters until the early Bloodsworn discovered him.
Spine is a cautious goblin by nature, prone to sticking with those he trusts. However, he retains the love for gold and treasure shared by many goblins.
== Skills and Powers ==
Spine is a useful ally in combat as he is both difficult to hit and adaptable. He is capable of dealing steady damage when well positioned, but is not particularly resilient and does not do as much damage as many other melee mercenaries. Spine is a perceptive and crafty warrior, often suited to missions of stealth.
== In the Campaign ==
Azuk, Keldin and Vardis Vaden met Spine in a trophy room in Widow's Watch, where he told them about Murk and him parting ways when under attack. He informed them of the existence of DeMaggio's map. Eager to escape the clutches of the Nerull cultists, Spine agreed to join forces with the party. Since then he has joined the Bloodsworn company and taken part in many battles, notably the slaying of two wyverns in the mountains of Dura, the recapture of Widow's Watch and death of Rhobar the Rotting, and travelling to the Frostbone Isles to unearth the ancient Dwarven temple.
Spine was killed in the ancient Profane city of Skuldr Fane by Lukain the Spymaster, though he was resurrected by the Bloodsworn using Spine's own funds.
