Lower LIfe
The Goblin King began as a young goblin serving under his father, who was close to the recent goblin king, Atzag. He took the throne when his father assasinated Atzag and he boasted of his son's strength. The Goblin King quickly gained the goblins' trust and loyalty and killed thousands. He then turned to the wizards for morale. On an unknown date or location he and Barthlin fought, and Goblin King made a cut on Barthlin's right temple, gaining his nickname "Wizard Cutter".

Quest to Murlon
The Goblin King captured Eronor, Sordin and Barthlin in their trek over the Marilemys. He boasted of his acts and teased Barthlin. Then dwarves and elves attacked and Barthln ran his sword through the Goblin King's face. He barely survived and in secret, Vasdar healed him. He leads the Seige on Heldwin. The Goblin KIng, enraged, continued to chase the wizards, meeting them again in the Enuremys with Khurzog. He captures Wisfit, Govuvit and Angber. The Goblin King tortures the three and kills Govuvit during the wizards' attack. The Goblin King seizes his chance of revenge and captures the lost Eronor and Sordin, sending them on ships bound to Daetin Enurthor. He meets with Gonathor and takes part in the Battle of Thortin. He is killed by Lorifin.

Powers and Abilities
