Higgs Steelclaw

A silver scaled Kobold.

## Description

Higgs is a Kobold, standing just over 3 foot tall and with remarkable silver scales that seem just the slightest bit shiny. Their head lacks much of the horns or fins that their counterparts often have. Overall, they would be a fairly unassuming Kobold by any standard were it not for the armour they are usually seen wearing.

Higgs wears studded leather armour beneath a sea green tabard and cloak. Their clothing is well maintained - professional looking, even, as though they are particular about its upkeep. They can usually be seen carrying around a rather large notebook (at least, large for a Kobold) and either reading through it or scribbling into it.
They are into their adult years now, and have already outlasted many of their kin from other worlds at 26 years old.

## History

Born in the outskirts of Ayammere, the massive Three Clans capital in the North East of Sirine, Higgs was one of many Steelclaw kobolds born that year. Unlike many of their siblings, Higgs was naturally quiet and withdrawn, and easily consumed with books or documents - a fact which their carers greatly appreciated.

By the time they were old enough to start a career, Higgs had already caught the eye of the Three Clan Constabulary - the major law enforcement body of the region. Higgs had taken a particular interest in mysteries and puzzles, and had been reading through Constabulary case files for at least 2 years already. And so they were selected to undergo training.

Three years later, and Higgs joined the Three Clan Constabulary as a constable. While they were not particularly suited for combat or the like, Higgs showed a skill for figuring out a crime and sending their coworkers on the right track to hunt down perpetrators. It made them a good partner for the stronger, faster guards who could take down criminals.

It wouldn't take long for Higgs skills to be recognised as more a use for the Investigative department than the cosntabulary, and they were moved up in rank. That was 5 years ago, and since then they have turned down numerous offers to further rise in the ranks of the Constabulary - instead preferring their place on the investigative team, solving crimes.

## Five

Five is a Drake Construct built by the Three Clans Constabulary to assist officers in all matters that they might need. Assigned to Higgs, Five was with the kobold at the time that they were rifted. However, Five did not appear in the same location as Higgs, and it would be months before the kobold would find out that Five had also rifted and splashed down into Lake Larendiel.

Once Five was recovered and repaired with the help of Artemis Brightspark, Higgs can now usually be found with the machine in tow.

## Steel Investigations

Since arriving in Daleos, Higgs has struggled to find a place where they feel they can truly belong. Used to a command structure and following orders, having to make decisions and set themselves on their own path has been a new experience - and one they have grown to enjoy. To settle in and finally be able to call Daleos home, Higgs knew that they needed a place of their own, and so they purchased a few rooms in a larger building to live and work out of. Located in Osteria's Eastern district, not far from Calan Wood Park, Steel Investigations is a workplace and a home to Higgs. It is from here they take on private investigation work in their down time.
