Fewmaster Toede

Toede (September 17, 321 AC - ? AC) is a cunning and cowardly hobgoblin who rose as the son of a local hobgoblin tribe leader in Taman Busuk to become a Dragon Highlord during the War of the Lance, and the ruler of Flotsam. He survived numerous deaths, having been rejected from the Abyss several times and the undying Lord of Flotsam still rules the town during the Age of Mortals. Toede has been described as a short and obese little fellow with grayish skin, numerous chins and white wispy hair.
Early Life :
The young Toede was born as part of the ruling family of a small hobgoblin tribe in the Abanasinian region. His mother ruled the tribe fiercely as the chief cook, although this didn't stop a number of rivals from trying to kill him off and become the next successor of the tribe. However Toede was always intelligent for a hobgoblin, and used a number of different means to kill off each of his rivals until he was the only natural successor to his mother when she died. Before she died though, Toede murdered several hobgoblin children and he blamed them on his mother. He took power from her following this event. Toede caroused with his hobgoblin friends in the tribal caves, until the day that the tribe was approached by an officer of the Dragonarmies.
Toede's mother believed the tribe would become cannon-fodder for the dark armies (which was exactly the intention of the Dragonarmies), and refused to pledge the tribe's support, however the officer allowed them time to think it over. Seeing opportunity within the grand armies, Toede murdered his mother, assumed the mantle of tribal leader and then pledged the tribe to the Dragonarmies, in return for being granted a leadership position in the army.
War of the Lance :
As Toede's tribe was committed to some fight in the early days of the war and was wiped out, Toede himself was elevated to the role of Fewmaster, a group leader within the Dragonarmies. The hobgoblin continued to orchestrate the assassinations of his rivals, and true to his name, toadied up to his superiors. Before long, he was a key advisor and Fewmaster under Highlord Verminaard of the Red Dragonarmy. Toede served as a spy and enslaving the enemies of the Dragonarmies in the Abanasinian region, where he encountered the Heroes of the Lance.
