Boblin the Goblin

Born to the Chemelasi tribe of Goblins that lived in the southern caves of the Tor'elva Mountain Range in the Asmark Mountain Region. Boblin lived for adventure and getting into trouble. The reoccurring problem with such a life is that you often end up in trouble, and so he did. But Boblin's story truly begins when he was introduced to two men: A dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker, and Chad Embergaze.

Boblin and Chad were hired by Gundren and the Rockseeker family to escort a wagon carrying provisions to the mining town of Phandalin. It would be discovered by the duo in the coming weeks that the Rockseeker family were the latest people hunting the long-lost Wave Echo Cave and the legendary SpellForge inside. The three Rockseeker brothers would go missing, but Boblin and Chad would continue the search in their absence. Along their way, the pair would come face-to-face for the first time with the Black Hand goblinoid military. At the ruins of Thundertree, a platoon of the Black Hand were looking to approach a local dragon, Ozzyrandion, the Venom Prince. The Black Hand asked Boblin and Chad to get the young dragon to come back to the Elsir Vale with them to join the full force of the Black Hand. They agreed, and convinced Ozzyrandion to join the Black Hand. Ozzyrandion flew the pair to the Wyrmsmoke Mountains, the western border of the Vale. The pair were inducted into the Black Hand, but when they were asked to go on a suicide mission, Chad and Boblin ran to escape the Black Hand. This led to the, presumed, death of Chad; while Boblin managed to escape east of the Wyrmsmokes and met the Halfling, Teddy. This new pair met a local Forest Giant, known as Old Warklegnaw. This trio would begin to sabotage Black Hand operations as much as they could, including slaying a young Black Dragon, but when the Black Hand began their full descent upon the Elisr Vale and its people, they and the Vale were no match for the sheer force of the Hand. The trio, like all those who survived the conquest of the Elsir Vale, fled to the refuge of Ashguard. Here Boblin would largely part ways from Teddy and Warklegnaw and began to settle down in Phandalin. Here he would become an officially recognized noble of Ashguard (Dubbed, Esquire (per Boblin's request)) as more and more Goblin tribes moved into Phandalin, including his own Chemelasi tribe.

This brings us to where Boblin is today. He has married 13 women, 12 Goblins and 1 Half-elf, with whom he has sired 98 children. In 28 YH, Boblin ran for the position of Lawgrave, beating out the incumbent Thea Borja who had assumed the role of Lawgrave after Lawgrave Halia Thornton-Embergaze fled town upon the revelation that her husband, Chad Embergaze, was a serial killer and had staged a coup in Tycheron. Boblin, though he was adored by much of Phandalin, he was, in short, a shoddy administrator. This cost him the follow-up election in 34 YH, losing to Finn Henning who had been trained in political theory by Miron Broadborn. Never one to back down from a fight however, Boblin studied tirelessly in politics, with the assistance of Nadia Thimmisch his favorite wife (The Half-elf), Yorick Voldren 1st Regent of Tycheron, and Klarg the Bugbear Boblin's friend from his adventuring days and member of the House of Regents. Boblin then ran against Lawgrave Henning in 40 YH, and beat him! Thanks in no small part that, by this point, a significant portion of Phandalin were not only Goblins, but Goblins that were either Boblin's own children or grandchildren. He led the town much more effectively this time around and gained the near unanimous affection of both Phandalin and its nation of Ashguard at large. Then in the weeks leading up to the election in 46 YH, Boblin shocked Phandalin by announcing that he was retiring from politics because it, and we quote, "sucks balls".
