Positive Personality Traits: Zelby is always one for a joke Or a fun prank. Always happy to see others happy and more then willing to yell "PUT IT IN THE HAPPY BOX!" when feeling something is getting out of hand. There is nothing that the goblin wont do if enough money or enough of a challenge is placed on the table. The sense of pride Zelby has wont let the goblin EVER be bested by anyone, even if beaten Zelby just dusts it off as " a minor set back". As long as there is fame and fortune to be had Zelby will never give up.
Negative Personality Traits:Alcoholic & forgetful are the two main negative traits of Zelby with easily distracted a close third. Usually miss-wires the buttons of her gadget belt. Often when not engrossed in something the goblin finds interesting Zelby will wander off or just ignore what is going on for something more entertaining. When placed in a competition situation Zelby will often go out of the way to attempt to lure in and trap enemies toying with them rather then killing them. This has lead to many a unfortunate reversal of events in combat missions.
History Before The Grim: Zelby was born on Kezan Isle to an unwed mother and left on the steps of an orphanarium on the same day as birth. Only a simple note with the name of the child and an over sized pyrite coin was left with the little one. Zelby grew up like most of the orphans listening to the tales of Gallywix and his adventures. Rising from the worthless scum bastard of a pirate wench to the trade prince of the cartel! Like many other goblins Zelby too thought that Gallywix was the suspected illegitimate father of birth. But so far has found nothing to support this thought. It just keeps the goblin warm at night. As a child Zelby spent most of the time stealing scrap to build small robots to fight for fun and coppers.
Eventually Zelby grew up as all goblins do and given the gifts of the goblin's mother passed down via genetics, got a job as a calendar model for "hot-rigs monthly" And was voted Miss July of 211. Then bored with modeling Zelby found way into the camp of the legendary Hemet Nesingweary, during a fishing trip in Tanaris. Through Hemet the goblin met Bran Bronzebeard world famous explorer and archeologist, and signed on with an expedition of his to learn archeology. After a while Zelby was bored again. Using the money from the modeling gigs and from selling some artefacts she pocketed well studying under bronzebeard, Zelby decided to try the hand at the adventurer game. Quickly learning a love of the dagger and of the shadowy way of the rogue. Eventually working up to being one of the top spymasters in the Garrosh army.
But then it all went south most literally. As a captain of the 16th advanced landing- a unit that called themselves 'Mercy Killers' or "The ole MK-16TH" Zelbys' entire unit was destroyed by the alliance ship bombardment thanks to bad intelligence from Garroshs' own Krom'kar ground scouts. Nearly crippled the goblin spent 7months under Pandaren care in the vale. Forced to see the horde lose the beachheads on Pandaria. The surviving 'Mercy Killers' flee and hide. But worst of all. The decent of Hellscream into the madness of what Zelby called "The Shasha Crazies"
Now healed and Garrosh on the run. Zelby has no where to go and nothing to do. Just two dreams. First is simple; get back at Garrosh for what he did to "The ole MK-16TH". Second is more estranged. Zelby has always had a love of archeology and during apprenticeship under Bran Bronzebeard discovered something strange about the goblin race. Something Important that Zelby will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of.
Time in The grim: Desperate for some chance to strike back at the Iron Horde Zelby as signed on with a strange group of folks. They call them selves "The Grim" But this will be another story for another time. A story yet to be told.
