Moldknuckles, a goblin of unusually slight build and quick wit, stands out among his kind not for his strength but for his agility and cunning. Born into a tribe that valued brute force and dominance, Moldknuckles was cast out for his perceived weakness. His small frame, barely reaching three feet, and his nimble fingers made him more suited for the shadows than the battlefield. His skin, a muted green, is marred with scars from his rough life on the streets, and his eyes, a sharp yellow, always dart around, assessing his surroundings. His attire is a patchwork of stolen cloth and leather, designed for speed and silence, yet adorned with trinkets and baubles he couldn't resist pilfering.

Driven by the need to survive, Moldknuckles turned to thievery. It was during one such attempt that he crossed paths with Paxidor, a retired Bladesinger Elf. Caught in the act of pickpocketing, Moldknuckles narrowly escaped a swift reprisal thanks to his quick reflexes and unexpected combat intelligence. Impressed, Paxidor saw potential in the young goblin and took him under his wing, teaching him the intricate art of Bladesinging. Under Paxidor's tutelage, Moldknuckles learned to channel his agility into spellcasting, blending the arcane with the finesse of a rogue.

Now, with his mentor gone, Moldknuckles roams the world, seeking to master his newfound skills and prove his worth. His journey is fraught with challenges; his goblin heritage often stirs mistrust among other races, and his past as a thief occasionally catches up with him. Yet, he presses on, driven by a deep-seated desire to show that even the weakest can rise to greatness. His unique quirk is a habit of humming old goblin tunes when deep in thought, a melody that often calms his nerves before battle.

Moldknuckles' life is a tapestry of conflict, from his struggle to reconcile his goblin nature with his Bladesinger training, to his ongoing battle against those who would judge him by his past or his race. Yet, through it all, he remains hopeful, ever striving to carve a new path for himself in a world that often seems set against him.
