Gibble the Deceptive

Gibble the Deceptive (originally known as Gibble the Trustworthy) was a human male from the area of Anchorage who lived during the Beginning Times to slightly after the War of Gods. He was originally the son of a chief of a forest tribe in Anchorage (known then as Akorenga). He was known to be something of a suck up and constantly trying to get more and more power. Ultimately, he would poison Gorog the Wise in an attempt to gain power by taking advantage of Gorog's son, Gorog the Unwise, before being killed by Gorog the Unwise's son, Gorog the Brave.

## Origin

Gibble the Deceptive was born to a sleezy chieftan of a forest tribe in the area now known as Anchorage. This tribe in particular was known for being more than happy to trick their neighbors into either giving them free stuff or to doing stuff for them, and Gibble was a prime example of that behavior. In his tribe, there was nobody more adept at being a brown nose than Gibble, who was always trying to sneak his way into more power for himself despite already being the son of a chief.

## War of Gods

When the War of Gods brought the Divine Loquati Empire to the doorstep of Anchorage, Gibble's tribe was among the first to be ransacked and destroyed. He lost his father in that raid but didn't really care as it technically meant that he was now the chief. He and what was left of his people would wander to other tribes to find one who would take them in, rarely finding ones who didn't know of their reputation. Ultimately, when the Loquati destroyed all but one tribe, Gibble found himself and his people in the same place all the other tribes sought refuge, in the ice caves of the glacial walls, under the guidance of Gorog the Wise.

Gibble wasn't super happy about not being a chief anymore when Gorog was named chief of the now united Akorengans, but as always he saw an opportunity to gain more power. Over time he would intentionally place himself in situations where Gorog would require to speak to Gibble, and took full advantage of the opportunity to gain trust with him. Eventually, when Gorog would lead his people out of the caves and into Anchorage to resettle their homeland, Gibble began thinking of a plan to kill Gorog and take the title of chieftan for himself.

## Death of Gorog the Wise

Opportunity would present itself yet again when Gorog the Wise's son, Gorog the Unwise displayed a complete lack of common sense and Gibble realized that if Gorog the Wise was out of the picture, Gorog the Unwise would be chief and Gibble could then "advise" the young man into doing his bidding as chief without raising suspiscion.

It all came down to one fateful day when Gibble finally poisoned the food of Gorog the Wise in what was first thought of as a choking accident. That day he immediately began "advising" the newly chiefed Gorog the Unwise into doing his bidding. At first, he would only suggest subtle things to not raise suspicion, but over the course of many years would take more and more for himself. He had Gorog the Unwise decree things such as more money for Gibble, for a woman to kiss him (on the lips) at least once a day, and even give himself more land!

It even got to a point where the other Akorengans were becoming upset with Gorog the Unwise for his pointless and often harmful acts as chief, and a few even began thinking about making a new chief. Fortunately, that day would never come, as Gorog the Brave would take it into his own hands and ensure that his people get justice.

## Death

Eventually, Gorog the Unwise's son Gorog the Brave would find out about what Gibble had done, and publicly challenged Gibble to a duel. Gibble had no chance of succeeding, and was quickly defeated by the brave warrior. Gorog the Unwise in perhaps the one good idea he ever had, named his son chief after realizing he would probably be a much better one than he. Gorog the Brave, now third chief of the Akorengans, made his first decree as chief to be that Gibble no longer be known as Gibble the Trustworthy, but instead as Gibble the Deceptive.
