Personal history
Mashu was born in Onureth Taoul as one of the many Mundane Kobolds born in Seattle Washington. He knows nothing of the Shadow Realm for his people do not value telling stories of their homeland. Right from the time he hatched, his elders saw that he was clever and had a natural knack for building things. Thus, like all Kobolds, he was given the job that suited his abilities. So he makes things. From bits and pieces or lost scraps, he crafts things that are useful to his people.

Education
His education was informal. He was allowed to explore the tunnels and learn by experimenting. The elders knew that he was a tinker and they knew that tinker learn best when they are allowed to tinker. So he spent his childhood doing exactly the things that he now does for work to help his people survive: he tinkers.
Employment
He servers his tribe as a tinker and as their Chief. He is an archeologist. He is always digging things up and learning from whatever he finds. It amazes him what the Mundane humans will throw away! From their trash, he has become a human expert and has plenty of supplies to build everything his tribe needs.
Accomplishments & Achievements
With Team 8's assistance, he was able to remove the dragon and the previous chief from power so that he could take control of the tribe.
Intellectual Characteristics
He lives by the Kobold laws. Nothing else matters to him. He likes rules, order and organization. This is what has made the Kobolds strong. He follows the Kobold law to the letter for his own sake. Moral decisions don’t come into the equation for him so even if they hurt others in carrying out his duty, he feels nothing. It’s just business. As an ally, he is honest and trustworthy and will never break promises to their allies.
He loves a good mystery.
He has no qualms about stealing from the dead.
