'''The Hobgoblin [born 3:505552] is a unique member of the Heroes. The Hobgoblin spent much of his early life being not much of anything, and even when recruited by Lawman he was only used as a gambler. Until his true skill was discovered. Commander Dane once said, "You can't send the Hobgoblin into an intense duel against Sydar. He'll get shredded. You gotta send him in at the gate. Hordes of footmen, that's his specialty. I think his record is like nine hundred Tau in one day.'''

'''The Hobgoblin now fights alongside the Heroes and is staunchly anti-War Council. He is considered to be the best known hand-to-hand combatant in the galaxy. He has become very philosophical over the years while still keeping his sociable, youthful personality. '''

Origin [14:001002]
The Hobgoblin used to be a lonely man living on Prontus IV. Being half-human he was taller, smarter, and greatly differed from the goblins among which he lived. On 14:001002:7:12, the goblin authorities came after him after he was wrongly accused of cheating in a game of poker. Lawman came to the rescue, killing the goblins that pursued him. Lawman showed The Hobgoblin how to live in the universe.

The Hobgoblin first joined the Terran forces as a gambler for a simple mission, but Arm Zilch trained him to be a Terran military specialist, and he soon became a great warrior fighting alongside the other Heroes.
