Sniff

Shinnivva or "Sniff" was born into a superstitious tribe of nomadic desert goblins in the Ruin Desert. His mother gave birth to his twin sister, Nissa, first and the shaman prophesied that she would be like an oasis for the tribe. Sniff was the afterbirth. His mother screamed in fright when she saw him move for the first time. The shaman foresaw that Sniffs life would be one of many trials and tribulations. In his early years would avoid him out of fear that he would cause a disaster. Alone without friends he became self reliant he would go on solo hunts and scout the vast desert in search of shelter and food. Although many a time his scouting and hunting helped the tribe survived harsh times he was never praised. His only love was for his sister Nissa. The tribe adored her she would have become the next shaman but one fateful day a band of adventurers called Unbroken ambushed the tribe and slaughtered many of the goblins and took the remainder prisoner, including Sniff and his sister Nissa. Sniff was sold as a Goblin criminal to the Dracar army as a sparing dummy, but they didn’t take Nissa and she later sold to an illegal fighting pit in Libertas.   The Dragonborn army threw Sniff in with the recruits to test their sparring skills. Sniff had an innate ability to fight, one on one. Not even the best recruits could best him. One of the captains overseeing training noticed his ability and offered to Sniff to train alongside the Dragonborn. Sniff was used to being treated as an outsider and rose through the rank quickly. On his promotion day his dextrous fighting style was unusual but effective. He was granted the rank of paladin in the Dragonborn army. He pledged devotion to Bahamut. After serving Dracar for a tenure of 5 years and the lack of military action Sniff was discharged. He has set out to find the his sister and bring justice to the adventurers that kidnapped and sold them to the highest bidder.   Sniff eventually followed the trail of Nissa to the city of Libertas where he met Alexander Infuriss, who promised he had news of Sniff's sister. Sniff joined other Heroes in helping Alexander. The goblin learned Nissa was sold to a fighting pit then taken by The Dragon who was controlling her for her powerful fire magic. After battling against his sister several times, Sniff managed to snap his sister out of the Dragon's control. Together they helped the other heroes stop the Dragon from acquiring the Dragon Staff. Sniff received Bahamut's guidance and learned the Dragon Staff must be destroyed as a traitor intended on using it.
