Place of Birth: Somewhere in the deep caverns of Grim Batol
Known Relatives: Father (deceased), Mother (deceased)
Religion/Philosophy: "Fly the unfriendly skies! It's a dangerous world out there and you have to be willing to contend with dragons if you want to rule the skies. Fly high, go far, and I'll see you on the other side."
Occupation: Currently working community service for the K.T.C.
Group/Guild affiliation: Kezan Trade Coalition
Guild Rank: ....are the bottom feeders who are here because it was a better choice than jail entitled to a rank? No? Then I guess the title would be "Bottom Feeder Who Is Here Because it was a Better Choice Than Jail"
Enemies: Black Dragonflight, Trade Prince Maldy, and is not quite so fond of Naga, Gnomes, or High Elves either.
Likes: Flying, mostly on a zeppelin, but on anything that can get up into the sky and go. Also, although more on a subconscious level, fire. The more fire, the better. The hotter the fire, the better.
Favorite Foods: Anything hot and spicy that can leave you floored.
Favorite Drinks: Anything with a kick that can get you drunk or passed out in a hurry.
Favorite Colors: Blue. The sky's blue, after all... Or red, orange, and yellow. Fire colors.
Weapons of Choice: Weapons.... Never had the time for them, really, but if he had to choose he would pick the biggest, most destructive rocket that you could find. Magical fire also works pretty well...
Dislikes: Once took a trip with his mother up north to Winterspring. While there he learned one thing: he really, really, really, hates cold weather. Other things he's not fond of includes dragons, especially black dragons, naga, gnomes, and high elves, and he especially can't stand being in debt to other people.
Hobbies: When he has time for hobbies between errands, he tries to think of what it would be like to leave Kezan and find some fortune and glory in the world. So, you could say...day dreamer.
Physical Features: Like any other goblin in the world, Short and wirey with lanky, greasy black hair, big floppy ears, and a long, narrow beak of a nose. Also teeth. Lots of little needs in this mouth, so keep clear.
Special Abilities: His psych-doctor suggested once that to help quell the pyromaniacal urges he has that he take up magic. He can't imagine why. Someone who was found guilty of burning down To-Be-Named-Public-Property, one would suspect that they would be the last person you would want to swing around arcane fire. He also suggested a hobby, and Jet has been thinking of engineering, as it would give access to making things that fly. I've also been trying to apply himself as a pilot for K.T.C., but they don't trust him enough with their flying machines. Too bad.
Positive Personality Traits: Despite the fact that his job at K.T.C. is more like a prison, Jet feels himself to be loyal to the company and is deep down grateful that they gave him the opportunity to work his debt rather than rot in a prison in Undermine. He is very much loyal to the people of Bilgewater Bay above all others, especially those who are considered to be his friends.
Negative Personality Traits: Despite that loyalty, he still has those urges where he sees an object, which sometimes includes articles of clothing while they are being worn by others, and asks himself just how flammable that material might be. So far he has only given in to his urge for arson once, but time will tell if he will be able to keep on the level.
Misc. Quirks: Tends to pull his hair or his ears when he's deep in thought, or nervous about something. Also looks up at the sky a lot, and tends to loaf when not working.
History: Jet was born into slavery under Deathwing and the Black Dragonflight, and would stay there for the first six months of his life. His father worked directly with the the great dragon's goblin servant, Kryll. Some time after the Second War came to an end, Jet's father was sent to Grim Batol to work with the Dragonmaw Clan who were keeping the dragon queen, Alexstrasza, captive. In that time, he met Jet's mother and later Jet himself would be born.

On the famed Day of the Dragon, Alexstrasza was freed and went on a rampage against her former captors. Jet's father sought to use the confusion to escape and make a dash to freedom with his family, but they weren't fast enough. Jet's father stayed behind and allowed his mate and son to escape. The last thing Jet's mother saw of his father was a dragon so immense it overwhelmed her mind looming over him, and then attacking.

From there, they made their way through the world and eventually came to the isle of Kezan, where Jet's mother took up the name Zeppelin and started a business suitable for that name, ferrying passengers by zeppelin to different parts of the world. Jet would spend the next sixteen years flying to several parts of the world with his mother, listening to her stories about what happened to his father. In that time, he came to resent dragons in a sense, especially black dragons, who were his family's slave masters. This hatred was further infused when on a grim day three years ago while flying close to Dustwallow Marsh, their zeppelin was attacked by the Brood Mother, Onyxia. The zeppelin crashed, and Jet's mother was killed. He was found later by Theramore marines and later returned home.

Having not the means nor the money to continue the zeppelin business, difficult to do without a zeppelin, the business was to be liquidated by nearby goblin business officials and sold off for profit. This was when Jet gave in to his first pyromaniac urge and set the tower that was the home to both him and his mother on fire. The local bruisers would respond and find him sitting nearby, watching the blazing inferno as it consumed his home. He was then charged with destruction of Property-To-Be-Claimed and sentenced to either time in jail or community service without pay to the K.T.C., the later of which he chose.

He's been working there for a year now, and Jet longs for the time when he can be free of his current situation and leave Kezan.
