I would like to submit for consideration: Zobmaggle, Fang of the Shadows. Goblin Alchemist (Winged marauder)/Rogue.
backstory:
Zobmaggle was abandoned as a young goblin in a failed raid on a small city. He was saved by Nathan Blackrain, an aging criminal who intended to use him as a pickpocket and disposable resource. However, Zobmaggle's skills surprised the old man. Not only was Zobmaggle quick on his feet, he was also incredibly intelligent even by human standards.
Proving himself in the ranks of Blackrain's small organization, Zobmaggle was allowed a measure of freedom. He used this freedom to steal knowledge instead of just wealth. Acquiring skill as an alchemist; he added bombs and rare extracts to his bag of tricks. Soon his criminal escapades became the talk of the underworld due to Zobmaggle's theatrics and daring.
It was during these days, that he acquired the assistance of Zagrev, a dire bat who serves him faithfully. Zobmaggle believed he was as close to the top of the world as a goblin street urchin could ever reach. This pride was of that precipitous nature that always speaks to the height of the fall.
Zobmaggle was supposed to teach a carpenter a lesson, the man had taken a loan out and his payments were overdue. So Zobmaggle made his way into the mans house as quiet as a playful shadow in the moonlight. The man was still asleep in his marriage bed when Zobmaggle found him and began to make his preparations. By the time the young goblin was done the entire house was a wick just waiting for the touch of flame. He dropped the torch into the window as he escaped, laughing silently to himself as the roaring flames began to lick the sky. The next day five bodies were found in the house: the carpenter, his wife and their three children.
This multiple murder woke up the city watch to the crime infestation in their city and Nathan virtually threw Zobmaggle into their laps as a sacrificial lamb. Now Zobmaggle waits for his death, hoping against hope that he rises, a vengeful specter to chew the throat out of Nathan Blackrain.
