Kled

A Major Character in Monster Time

Kled is part of a older generation of Goblin who believe in traditionalist methodologies and isolationism. He has been a major member of the Goblin tribe and has deep influences within their people. He was a founding member of the Blood Gulch Integration Society.

Kled is always accompanied by his life-mate Skaarl, a riding lizard who he has a special bond with.

History
Kled has always been a bit off mentally compared to the average Goblin, and this was only exasperated by his addiction to "Mushroom Juice" a strong hallucinogenic which he drinks religiously. Early in his life, when a part of a military campaign Kled found a clutch of eggs which he planned on eating. While preparing the eggs one hatched into a small shelled lizard, in one of his mushroom inspired hallucinations Kled believed the creature spoke to him. He took in the creature, named it Skaarl, and has lived with it ever since.

Kled rose the ranks of the Goblin military mainly because he was the only survivor of many battles, thus appointing himself whatever rank his commanding officer had. He eventually awarded himself the title of "Commander Admiral Lieutenant-Colonel Sargent-Major Brigadier-General" at which point he decided the only remaining rank above him was Chief. He challenge the tribe Chieftain to a battle to the death, a right all Chieftains have to accept. It was a gruesome battle, both sides fighting dirty, from use of poison and acids, to the Chief biting off a large chunk of Kleds ear. Just as Kled had achieved victory over the Chieftain, "Boogie" Kled's companion and figurative "Brother" entered the fray to get the killing blow. As per the rules Boogie became Chieftain, leaving Kled with nothing. Kled would normally simply challenge the new leader, but he previously vowed to Boogie a life debt and swore to never harm him. Thus ended Kled's chances at expanding his influence.

Scouting Party
When a scouting party was put together to search for resources beyond the canyon Kled was chosen from his tribe to set out into the world. This was either due to his dedication to the tribe, rank in the military, or them trying to get rid of him for a while.

Blood Gulch Integration Society
When the scouting party was put on hold to deal with the Kobold Crisis Kled was a founding member of the Blood Gulch Integration Society, a front for the plan to enslave Kobolds and use them to mine for the benefit of the major clans of the Blood Gulch canyon.
