Gnarket

## Biography

Gnarket was born poor in the city of Carrigan into a litter of 7 other goblins being the smallest he was considered the runt of the litter often beaten by his older siblings survival during those early years came from stealing and eating scraps left by the others while being careful to avoid the notice of the city's law keepers. As they grew they did as most poor misbegotten goblins in the city and joined a gang being seen as nothing more than bodies by those higher up they were often put into dangerous

situations and rarely reaping much if any of the rewards but with the guards predisposition of all goblins are guilty and no right thinking businessman would ever give a goblin a chance there were little options for them. By the age of 11 Gnarket had lost 2 of his siblings to the cold one to the prisons and one to a particularly vicious beatings of a bloodthirsty guard.

The mission that would prove to be his last seemed like any other a local shop had opened up without paying the local gangs a cut, a local bruiser an orc named Rook was to lead the four goblins and watch out to make sure no guards got involved. The four were to sneak in and steal some valuables and break anything that was too heavy to nick. Gnarket got the door open and they quickly got to work grabbing anything of value when something unexpected happened a trap triggered that none of them had noticed a javelin shot out and caught Gnarket in the side he dropped and his brothers having a cowardly disposition and enough valuables to sell legged it out the front door leaving their wounded bleeding brother to the owner of the shop.

The owner did not take long to come down the stairs musket in hand he pointed it directly between the wounded goblins eyes. A moment past but no shot was fired “who sent you?” The gnomish inventor was an older man getting to the end of his life Gnarket sold out immediately blabbing who had sent him why names dates anything to avoid his imminent death “ah a problem I see but not an impossible one this goblin speaks no Kherran and I need answers a challenge indeed but never let it be said Felthem Gaberdasher is a gnome to back away from a challenge”   Gnarket did speak Kherran well a little anyway but in his panic he had switched to his native tongue but he was in no hurry to correct the odd inventor.

Gnarket was chained in a room and the inventor began teaching the Goblin Kherran Gnarket was a surprisingly diligent student probably due to the fact that Felthem had given him food and had the gun next to him ready and loaded. After a further month of this Gnarkets Kherran had greatly improved and the two shared an odd bond, one a lonely if not eccentric genius the other Gnarket atypical if not slightly brighter Goblin. When the inventor discovered the reason for the intrusion he alerted the guards but left out the fact one of the culprits now occupied his spare room.

The inventor began teaching Gnarket  his trade instructing him in machinery and the building and maintenance of a gun and that is how the next two years of his life flew by helping out his friend and mentor in the back of his shop building and repairing whatever was put before him with surprising care and consideration, gone was the small scrawny street urchin Felthem had met two years prior now he saw an avid inventor and friend life was sweet but time is a fickle mistress and Felthems health turned for the worse one winter Gnarket did what he could taking what gold he could and trying to get medicine for his friend but after trying to get help from the local guards and them seeing the purse filled with gold coins he was thrown into a jail. When night fell and Gnarket escaped he returned to find that the chill had entered Felthem’s lungs and the old gnome had passed on angry that he could not be there for his friend and that the establishment had failed his only friend Gnarket grabbed what he could including the old gnomes jornal that the gnome had prized above all else and the gun the two of them had been working on at the time of his death and set off swearing he would continue his friends quest for inventing and show the world he was more than what he appeared.
