Goblin is a young field operator aboard the CSS Rebel Ascendant. Dark-haired and rangy, he works alongside Nobu and Pepper on the crew’s covert assignments.

He exercises during downtime and joins the crew’s shipboard wagers, including a bet on which piece of machinery will fail next. He chooses the port coolant because it smells wrong. After an operation, Kaid’s praise makes him straighten before he catches himself and tries to look less pleased.
