'''Grubeck Goblind''' is a [[Goblin]] merchant in [[Hendon Myre]]. Though born with an extraordinary intelligence, he has much reason to regard this God-given gift as a curse. Disillusioned by the barbaric Goblin community in which the strong are respected and the weak shunned, he escaped the ranks of his kind to establish himself near Hendon Myre with a successful business. Due to this, his life is under constant threat from both vengeful Goblin assailants and those envious of his prodigious wealth alike. Life is strictly business for him: while miserly, he is held in high regard for his reputability.

Grubeck Goblinde is a Goblin located in the Back-alleys of Hendon Myre. Though born with an extraordinary intelligence, he has much reason to regard this God-given gift as a curse. Disillusioned by the barbaric Goblin community in which the strong are respected and the weak shunned, he escaped the ranks of his kind to establish himself near Hendon Myre with a successful business. Due to this, his life was under constant threat from both vengeful Goblin assailants and those envious of his prodigious wealth alike.

During the Great Metastasis, Grubeck became the only Grand Flores-native Goblin, along with his friend McGee, as the rest perished in its events. Life is strictly business for him: while miserly, he is held in high regard for his reputability.
