Goblin is a young field operator in the Rebel Ascendant’s crew. The reader orientation introduces him as physically gifted and prone to joking under pressure.

A place in the field team

The crew works through call signs and borrowed identities. Goblin’s familiar name belongs to that environment, in which a mission’s public identity is kept separate from a person’s whole life.

His physical abilities serve a team whose operations can move quickly from disguise to danger. His humor is another part of how he appears among colleagues who have to keep working in those conditions.

Reading the crew

Goblin’s introduction sits alongside the different specialties of Nobu, Pepper, and the ship’s technical operators. Their distinctions matter because the Ascendant’s assignments require more than one kind of competence.
