Appearance

Physical Description

Standing at 3' even, Bihx is quite tall for a Goblin, especially a female. She has a lean, muscular build with the nimble, slender fingers of an expert pickpocket. Her skin is a pale purplish gray. She has whiteish silver eyes and pointy, oatmeal white teeth, which are often bared in a mischeivous smirk.

Apparel & Accessories

She wears a monocle, which she uses to evaluate the quality of the gems and precious stones she pilfers, over her left eye. Her wardrobe generally consists of a tailored flowing jacket, with plenty of secret compartments sewn in, practical boots, and fingerless gloves that protect her knuckles while preserving her tactile connection to the materials with which she works. It is a special rarity to see Bihx without her trademark favorite wide brimmed witch hat.
 
Much of her clothing is subtly adorned with "shinies," as she calls them - trinkets of no particular value that nevertheless Bihx considers precious, not the least of which is the tiny bird skull fastened on a chain around her neck. She found it on the first mission she ran with Sam, moments after she'd decided she liked him, and considered it a good omen of the friendship to come. Since Sam's death, she has had the skull inscribed with a dwarvish bindrune representing vengeance and the restoration of balance through equivalent exchange.

Personal history

Goldcrest is a growing city bustling with life! The Goldcrest Tournament of Champions took place recently and, as usual, one of the Frost siblings is yet again Goldcrest’s shining star. (Insert eye roll here)
 
Business was very good for the Drumskulls during the Tournament. Lots of unsuspecting tourists and little old ladies to con and rob. During the tournament, Tuvraina got word that there was a dragon’s lair nearby and tasked Torgo with sending the best crew out to trap and kill the dragon, then ransack the lair and bring back any treasure, especially any eggs. That crew…didn’t include me. Torgo claims he needs me here to guard the Lusty Goat, Drumskulls base of operations, while he oversees the minions running penny ante cons and back alley deals and schmoozes Tuvraina, who doesn’t seem the least bit interested in me.
 
Gah. I know better. I could do better. I shouldn’t be here; I should be out there! Running my own crew and showing Tuvraina that I'm a better leader than Torgo. After all, it was me who invented most of the Drumskulls traps and gadgets for capturing rare creatures. All of the traps Gwendolyn’s crew took for their mission were mine! I've done more for this guild in my sleep than Torgo has in all of his years as a Drumskull!
 
When Gwendolyn’s crew gets back, I notice they are a man short. Samuel MacNillis (human male), the Drumskulls best bow sniper and my only trusted friend, is missing. Gwendolyn and her partner Gilbert go upstairs to report to Torgo, and the rest of the crew scatters around the inn. Some go to wash up; others go to the bar. The twins make themselves scarce. I make my way to the bar and gather from Berry Evergreen (gnome male) that shit went south in a bad way. The twins, Sarven and Myralynn, were sent to scout, saw the dragon fly off with the eggs, and then didn’t make it back in time to stop an ambush.
 
Sam's body is now with the Dawnguard, the military guard of Goldcrest. My mind is made up. Samuel was more than a friend to me. He was my companion and confidante. The only person I trusted in this den of deceivers. The next opportunity I get, Torgo’s life is mine.

Taboos

• Belching after a meal is a very high compliment in Goblin society. The longer and louder, the better. Though Bihx has come to understand that this is not typical of all races and cultures, she refuses to give it up for herself.


• Leaving any single morsel of food behind is blasphemous.


• Do not question the shinies. The shinies need no justification.

Contacts & Relations

• Tuvraina: leader of the Drumskulls


• Samuel MacNillis (deceased):
  He was my dearest friend and confidante. We met a few years back when Tuvraina assigned us to the same track, where we took bets and fixed races. He was a tall, fit, and very handsome man with dark hair, olive skin, and bright green eyes. He would schmooze the spectators and distract them while I threaded between their legs and ducked under their skirts, looting them for everything they had. It was great sport and we made some hilarious and lucrative memories. We shared everything which, for a Goblin, is no small matter. We ate together, ran missions together, camped together, bunked together, and kept each other's secrets. I was sure we'd go down together, too. I'm not so sure of anything anymore.


• Torgo: Dragonborn, Tuvraina's right hand, possibly responsible for Sam's death


• Sarven & Myralynn: Harengon twins, possibly responsible for Sam's death


• Cookie: Drumskulls cook

Honorary & Occupational Titles

Criminal/Spy
You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals and still have contacts within the criminal underworld. You’re far closer than most people to the world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of civilization, and you have survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society.

Wealth & Financial state

I make a good living doing bad things.

Social Aptitude

People don't seem to get my Goblin ways, but that's alright. They don't adjust for me, nor I for them.

Mannerisms

• messy eater


• curses like a sailor


• matter of fact & candid

Speech

Bihx's voice is somewhat shrill and squeaky, but still manages to blend in some grit. She has a New Yorker accent.
