Age: 40 (deceased)
Skills: Linguistics (picks up languages easily), Orator (talking head, what else is he going to do?), Sense motive (can tell if you're lying).
Personality: Uidegá is actually very worldly, having left the Northlands and seen a fair bit of the world. He was always curious as a child, asking uncomfortable questions. He's also patient, tries to avoid acting rashly. Since being beheaded and shrunk, he's tending towards dark humor.
Dislikes: Dogs - not just the barking, they want to chew his shrunken head. Chains, whips.
Likes: Gambling, learning.
Backstory: A curious and clever goblin, he was getting a little too friendly with the Chieftain's daughter when a human party appeared at their camp, looking to hire "workers" for some "underground work." He was one of thirty sold to the human, shackled and chained behind a wagon for the long trip south only to find himself assigned to the city sewers, cleaning up blockages. Some of the people "supervising" were often cruel, Uidegá kept a wary eye on them, but it helped him to learn their language. When his chance to escape presented itself, there was no hesitation - he threw himself into a storm drain and scurried off.
He picked up a few skills and found himself sought after as a burgular who could shimmy into tight spaces to open windows or the occasional door. He was also quite the lockpick in his day. When the sheriff and his men came looking, he'd slip out of town on the nearest wagon, barge, or ship. These sometimes took him farther than he liked, but it gave him a chance to explore. Eventually, he grew tired of being looked down at by almost all who saw him, and made his way north again, back to his tribe. The chieftain's daughter had been traded to the Red Hands, and the one they got in her place had no spark of interest. However, one day new men appeared - and they weren't looking for workers. Summoned to the new chieftain's tent, he translated the humans words - to attack one of the elves tribes and take away their leader in exchange for metal weapons of qood quality and thick gold coins. Uidegá found himself tasked with a small party with kidnapping the leader.
But when they snuck into the camp to attack the tent of the chief, he awoke and fought them - and the massed tribes of goblins swept in. Uidegá was finally able to subdue the elvish cheif and took his captive back to the human. It wasn't long after that when he and his raiding party got ambushed by a elf shaman. Before he knew what was happening, he 'woke up' as a shrunken head.
