Background

Like many goblin's tales, Toerag's tale is a tale of woe. Captured in a punitive expedition by larger folks as a goblet, he was enslaved in his formative years. Separated from his litter mates, one of triplets, he believed his life was over before it started. He served a reclusive human sorcerer, infamous for being an asshole. Despite this, said asshole set about designing a course for students with Toerag being a guinea pig. Toerag learned like a sponge, while pretending to learn like a brick. Some time later he ran ran away, having learned all his owner could teach him. He joined mercenaries who then employed him as a decoy goblin for punitive expeditions against goblins, turning him into one of those who had so wrecked his own life in the first place. He ran away again, and turned up at the university, begging cap in hand, cigarillo in mouth, dressed virtually in rags. He still misses his litter mates dreadfully and is guilty about his part in the mercenary's punitive expedition. He tries to cover his pain with a full toothed grin in a 'never show them they've hurt you' fashion. The burning anger he feels has manifested as it traditionally does with goblin in his affinity for fire magic. He runs into prejudice even at the university, he is a goblin after all, but this is still preferable to his life before. He uses his small size to move through small spaces to smuggle things into the university through pipes. He uses his streetwise skills to secure contraband from outside vendors.
