Brains – Manic Goblin Gangster

Brains – Manic Goblin Gangster

Male Goblin (Artificer, Gunslinger)

Perched high atop a stack of stolen underworld contraband with a wild, wide-toothed grin, this volatile operative commands the table with chaotic energy. Sporting a custom alchemical firearm and a dapper top hat, the sculpt perfectly bridges the line between unhinged madness and technical genius. Keepers can deploy him as a frantic street-level boss, a volatile black-market weapons dealer, or a reckless demolitionist for an urban syndicate.

Tabletop Lore

Born into bondage as a servant and laboratory assistant within the secretive facilities of Project Glass Ceiling in Baldur, Brains learned early on how to survive through sheer intellect. During his imprisonment, he formed an unlikely bond with a massive orc test subject known as Muscles. When the duo orchestrated a daring escape, they were recruited by a rebel cell of Artificers seeking their unique talents to fuel a localized revolution. Brains cared little for political causes, preferring steady meals and his companion’s protective company, but when the uprising arrived, Muscles paid the ultimate price. Though wounded and deeply embittered by the loss, Brains managed to slip through the fingers of his captors, fleeing into the gritty criminal underworld of Grimgate where the Nova-Rossa welcomed his manic genius into their ranks.
