Grubeck Goblinde 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.
