Name: Riplikish "Twitch" Feral'Gnasher
Race: Goblin
Class: Rogue
Alignment: Neutral
Twitch was born in the desert city of Akoum. Twitch's mother was a concubine for the Feral'Gnasher clan leader Gnshok. She spent her small allowance on a assortment of drugs, leaving Twitch to find enough too feed himself and his mother. Twitch had always been a sickly rather weak goblin, but he quickly developed the ability to move unseen and steal in order to survive. One night after a particularly bad night of pick pocketing Twitch came home to find his mother overdosed and very much dead.
Twitch spent the next two years living on the streets stealing and begging for his food. One of the local guilds recognized Twitch's talent for stealth and hired him as a treasure hunter. Twitch quickly bonded with his fellow guild rats (children that work for the guild) Blood and Dagnok as they explored abandoned temples, and mysterious dungeons.
While exploring a deep dark cavern the trio stumbled upon a hidden alter covered in red glowing runes upon which rested a scroll that seemed to emanate darkness. Blood and Twitch studied Infernal (the language of demons) and discovered that the scroll shared the location and final resting place of the mighty dagger Drygionus (originally wielded by Obnoxcilus himself). In a extremely daring adventure the trio banished the daggers guardian and collected Drygionus. That evening as they celebrated in their recent acquisition, Blood mentioned, "You know, with that dagger we should be leaders of the clan". "Aye, but ol' Gnshok wou ne'er surendurr to ya" replied Dagnok. "We won't give him a chance" Blood whispered as he smiled evilly
A week later the plan was set. Twitch, despite his initial reservations, decided to help Blood with his plan. Twitch had convinced the leader of their guild to aid in the planned coup. Twitch silently made his way into Gnshok's stronghold. Twitch unlocked the gates and his fellow guild-mates entered the fortress and took their positions. Twitch then scurried off in search of the clan leader's bedchamber. As Twitch quietly entered the chamber and recognized the large (for a Goblin) form of Gnshok sleeping on a large bed.Twitch raised his dagger but as he stabbed with his dagger Gnshok rolled over and Twitch's dagger sank into bed. Gnshok awoke and backhanded Twitch as he shouted,"Gaurds" Twitch went in for a second attack but Gnshok kicked out at Twitch launching him out of the large window.
Twitch awoke a few hours later laying in the gardens below the Bedchambers. Twitch concluded that things had not gone well, judging by the bodies of his guild-mates that filled the courtyard. Twitch crawled to a nearby drain and escaped through the sewers. Twitch made his way back to the guild house to gather supplies and discovered a letter from a mysterious man named Wilhelm offering him a job in Gazaem. Twitch made his way to the docks avoiding the guards searching for him and bought passage onto a ship heading to Gazaem. As the boat left harbor Twitch glanced back at Akoum and silently vowed to return and gain vengeance on Gnshok....
