Goblin is a young field operator in the [Rebel Ascendant’s](https://emissary.mdscur.com/encyclopedia/rebel-ascendant/) 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](https://emissary.mdscur.com/encyclopedia/nobu/), [Pepper](https://emissary.mdscur.com/encyclopedia/pepper/), and the ship’s technical operators. Their distinctions matter because the Ascendant’s assignments require more than one kind of competence.
