The Main Players
The Royals
Chancellor Skraybor
The corrupt Chancellor has been secretly running the Realm since the disappearance of The Goblin King. His foul nature and underhand strategies have enraged the a large portion of the inhabitants, and has managed to avoid any clash with the band of rebels The Tusks. Usually joined by Chancellor Lerkbor, he now stands alone, as the unelected head of state, after pushing his brother away through years of belitting and berrating.
Ogre General
One of The Locals and a loyal servant of the Goblin King. He has an extensive military history and relishes telling tall tales of his various victories. Full of pomp and grandeur, well spoken, if a little mumbly. A Bally-Tally Ho type chap. He is kindly, but fearsome. Once entrusted by the Goblin King Himself to lead the fight against the rebellion, he is now the personal bodyguard and servant of the Chancellors… in case of Rebel attack. The Ogre General likes to think he was once like Thornsnap, but was never quite as daring.
Captain Thornsnap
A once dashing young captain who wasn’t afraid to get goblin blood over his shiny armour, Captain Thornsnap has retired from the Goblin Army and used his loot to set up a seedy Spearmint Rhino/Bunny Ranch style gentlemens' club – La Fee Bleu Gentlemen’s Club. He still retains his medals and likes showing them off to the patrons, most of whom are Royalist supporters and slimy politicians. Thornsnap works the door as he likes to greet his guests and sort the top clients from the riff raff. He is renowned for his verbal wizardry, powers of persuasion and pinsharp logic. He was the poster boy for the Royalists, but has stepped back from his passionate support of the crown. He's in good health, attractive, makes (most of) the goblin womenfolk swoon, and can easily part a goblin from his coin purse. The Gentlemens' Club is in direct competition with the adjacent Rebel Cabaret, but his violent nature is a thing of the past now, he wants to make love not war.

The Rebels
Stonefang:
A lean, female fire sprite, fearsome warrior and hunter. Bones and animal skull trophies of past kills adore her. Bones and animal skulls. She is skilled with a knife, fire and has a sharp tactical brain. Her strong and quick witted nature, and keen eye for strategy has made her the key figure in the Tusk rebellion alongside The Blacksmith. Synonymous with the Rebel uprising, and an opposing political party against Chancellor Skraybor - She is of the goblins and for the goblins and respected in the realm. However she's not taken seriously by Royalist sympathisers.
Ex-Chancellor Lerkbor
The downtrodden brother of Chancellor Skraybor, Lerkbor has defected to The Tusk Rebels in an act of defiance and stubbornness. Now teaming up with Stone Fang and The Blacksmith, he stands opposed to his brother in whatever events unfold ahead. Often visiting Le Fee Bleu Gentlemen’s Club run by old friend Captain Thornsnap.
The Blacksmith:
A strong, bearded troll, blacksmith and the leader of the pack for the Tusk Rebels. A leather apron and burn marks from his trade in swordsmithing. His trade equips him well with weaponry and he embodies the working class who toil for the now absent Goblin King, under Chancellor Skraybor. He represents strength and solidarity, but also has a wildness about him which makes him a fearsome opponent. Together with Stonefang he has become a public figure associated with the Rebels, and a pillar of the community. He can be seen canvassing and spreading the Rebel philosophy.
Mrs Kraygon:
A tough woman and a firm supporter of the rebels as fully-fledged Tusk member herself. She runs and hosts The Rebel Cabaret which helps spread the rebels word and entertains her followers. She is very political and outspoken against The Chancellors. She uses the platform of the cabaret and relishes the limelight.
