Kobi

Biography
"If you meet a friendly Goblin that offers to help with warmth in the winter, kindly but firmly refuse." - Advice given by a town guard

Kobi was taught to always try and help, and to the best of his ability he would. Disregarding the fact that what Goblins considered helpful would potentially lead to property damage Kobi was regarded in his colony as a very good individual who was always around to keep the torches lit and the bonfires burning, even when it wasn't needed. Like all others in the colony he never knew birth parents nor siblings, they were all a big family of course and it was a confusing concept for most Goblins to understand.

Kobi however began to drift from his family as the years passed, he was quick-witted like most of his brethren but also possessed an usual level of intelligence along with it (Rumours said he even kept a pamphlet from a Human city to read when he was bored). While he was always happy to help when it came to matters of fire and light his habits were a little too un-Goblin for the tastes of his family and he was eventually kicked out after offending the Big Boss (He corrected his spelling), cast into the wilds with only his little pet centipede, Grubber.

While for most Goblins solitude was a death sentence Kobi was able to take advantage of his brains and learned to cast basic spells (The discovery that he could do his previous job with but a thought was mindblowing), thus making his new life an adventure. After witnessing some of the big people doing jobs to help the innocent Kobi decided that he too would help, though unfortunately it appeared that Human cities did not require spontaneous bonfires and after a series of burnt-down abodes he was kicked out of town.

He learnt his lesson: people need to ask for warmth before you give it to them. And from that point his offers of help were far better received. That is of course when he didn't overestimate the warmth needed. Most people who know him have thus realised to downplay their needs lest they incur property damage.
