Another non-player goblin character for use in a city setting. For me this works with the Machiavellian Campaign I'm running where the city has a goblin enclave.
The city streets aren't the safest place to grow up. And when you belong to one of the minority races it isn't just unsafe, it is hard. Azzuct learned those lessons early in life and they were hard lessons to learn. The only reason why he is even alive at the ripe age of fourteen is because the attack on him and the rest of his family (which left all the others dead) when he was twelve was seen by an enclave goblin patrol. Over the past two years he has established himself as a scout for the enclave and a budding thief.
After recovering from his wounds, thanks to an adept living in the enclave, Azzuct started training with other young goblins on how to scout the city streets and buildings to protect the rest of the goblins. Although he doesn't think he is anything special in his clan, Azzuct has been noted for his dedication to his training to improve his abilities.
Not only has he shown an ability of maintaining his focus on the tasks he has chosen for himself, Azzuct has been trusted to do some further scouting into the city. He didn't know he was being tested by clan elders, but the extended scouting trips were to see how well he could, and would, follow orders. Because of his determination to complete the task as given clan leaders have provided additional support to the young goblin in the hopes of being able to groom him into a more formidable proponent for the growing clan in the city.
The leaders know Azzuct has no desire to be on who would negotiate with other races and he hasn't shown any interest in leading others, but he is willing to improve himself as a sneak, one who could provide information back to the leaders. Azzuct likes this path that has been proposed to him.
When he is not working on a patrol, or other service for the clan leaders Azzuct spends his time between spending time with his friends (as most would consider teenagers), but he also enjoys spending a certain amount of time on his own, usually out of doors. To accommodate this alone time Azzuct makes his way to the rooftops of the city and has been exploring out from the enclave's holding. During his explorations he has found several places where he has created hideouts he can use in case of trouble. Currently these locations are not far out from the enclave's control, but he has planned to create additional holes further out.
Azzuct doesn't have much more in plans for himself than helping his clan. He knows the enclave will most likely not grow in size within the city, but he has seen how it is growing in influence from the activities of some of the leaders. Personally he doesn't care about gaining influence, but he has started developing an interest in what he can do on his own as he gets better at his own abilities.
