For a long time, Gumz Bigtracker was a fairly typical Goblin. He ran around with the others, causing mayhem and tracking the Longshanks. Gumz in particular was excellent at sneaking up on people and at hitting people with the shortbow. He was always a bit different from the others, though, because he wasn't afraid of the Longshanks the way the others were. Gumz was fascinated by things that he found, especially the books. He was always the tiniest bit skeptical about the common Goblin belief that writing steals the words out of your head. He couldn't read, though, so he horded his secret stash of books for a long time. He thought that one day, if he learned to read them without losing the words from his head, he could be the bestest Goblin ever.

One day, Gumz was out searching for food and hiding from the others. He had one of his favorite books with him (he liked the pictures), when he came across a rabid dog worrying at something. Gumz snuck up on it, and shot it dead. When he went to look at his prize, he found the dog had been attacking a Longshanks. The Longshanks wasn't happy to see him, and he and his friends put Gumz in a sack and took him somewhere.

When Gumz was dumped out of the sack, he was on some kind of huge boat. He was made to hunt rats onboard the ship. He proved to be extremely good at it, and many a rat fell before him. He even took a liking to the life the other crew members led, and he asked if he could be a Pie-Rat, too. They let him join the crew, mostly as a joke. Also as a joke, one of them taught him a bit about reading the book he had come aboard with. This thrilled Gumz to no end.

Gumz spent many moons aboard that boat, stabbing Longshanks and catching rats. One day, he was chasing a particularly fat and juicy rat, but it was leading him a merry chase. He chased it off the ship and through the streets until it ducked through the gap under a door. Not to be discouraged, Gumz went through the door. He was in a kitchen. The cook threw him out of the kitchen into what appeared to be a tavern. Gumz was just about to try and go back in after the rat when something hit him in the back of the head, and everything went dark.

Gumz is still a tiny bit skeptical about the reading thing, but he's always eager to demonstrate that he can read. He'll proudly read street signs and mailboxes out loud, along with anything else that has words written on it. He'll brag about how the words stay in his head the entire time.

In social settings, he frequently acts as if he understands everything that's going on, but then he'll turn to somebody he feels safe with and ask what the Longshanks are talking about. In combat settings, Gumz is of the opinion that the best strategy for Goblins is to not be seen, shoot the Longshanks, then run up to them and stabbity them in the kidneys. He has made sure to become very good at this.

Gumz is short, with the typical oversized head of the Goblin race. His body is skinny, but muscle can be seen under his pale gray-green skin. Gumz is fairly unique among Goblins for having blue eyes. Like most goblins, he has no hair. Unlike most Goblins, he is not seen laughing maniacally very often. Gumz tends to have a quiet, thoughtful air about him. Sometimes, he looks as if thinking hurts.
