Yopo the Corpseman

Yopo is strong and quick. He had a wheelbarrow and a shovel before the party was captured by Conlan Oakenshield. He would use them to collect food and useful things from the gutters and alleys of the city, but he would also collect pieces of dead goblins if he could identify them.   Proper burial rites rarely happen in the City of the Undead, but Yopo would collect pieces of mutilated goblins - a leg, an ear, a liver - and bring them back in his wheelbarrow to the families of the deceased. They weren't full corpses, but they were at least enough flesh that friends and family could engage in the traditional practice of sticking their fingers into the dead goblin's blood and licking it off their fingers. This simple gesture afforded a small amount of dignity to the deceased and helped the grieving goblins of Yopo's community.   Yopo is also an accomplished digger. His brute physicality made him good for that sort of work. He would build tunnels for the goblins and other criminals of the city to slip through. He could also clear out sewers, alleys, drains, and other clandestine passages. Yopo is very good with a shovel.
