History:
This kobold had been born into a tribe serving the dragon-king of a remote tundra city, and had been hand picked by the elders to be the next attendant to the king, which is a role he served upon coming of age. During his training he received extensive knowledge not only in how best to serve his liege but also learned the old lore of his people regarding their purpose and nature. He believes that serving mortal dragons is a kobold's highest calling, one that might earn them a greater existence in their next life should they hold true to their ideals, their service, and their tribe. Once he was ready to begin his service he entered into it gladly and served for many years, tending to not only personal needs but also at times managing the affairs of the kingdom itself should his king feel ill, feel lazy, or be out on business. He's obtained a great deal of personal wealth, magical power, and ancient knowledge - answers to questions most people wouldn't even know to ask. This knowledge included an awareness of places far beyond the world he was born into, places he longed to explore, but he would never abandon his post. However, he was eventually granted release from his duties due an incident he'll seldom speak of to outsiders, yet he insists that he maintains his honor. He now roams the realms in search of a peaceful place to set up and return to his duties, serving dragonkind and kobolds alike.
Personality:
He's spent a fair portion of his life feeling superior to most others given his role, and later on has come to be able to back it up, but from the way he acts one wouldn't know it. He's quiet, thoughtful, submissive, and generous. When he sees someone in need he is driven to satisfy that need if he can. In conversation he tries to say little, especially about himself, and focuses on those he's speaking with. He's quick to offer a compliment and doesn't hesitate to offer advice either. He doesn't have a great many fears aside from a strong sense of unease around insects, and the quickest way to earn his wrath is for those in power to mistreat those beneath them.
Belongings:
He carries on him various outfits from armor to robes, all kept kept immaculately clean. Tucked into a belt or on a sash he holds a few pouches of odds and ends, most notably a deck of cards that can be dealt to a willing subject and have influence over their fate or state of being, a set of dice carved from the bones of storm giants that he regards as lucky, and an assortment of teeth or scales kept as souvenirs from people he's met and wishes to remember.
