Kobold character in Way of the Wicked?

[Melvin the Mediocre]

I am finally prepping to run a much anticipated Way of the Wicked campaign. One of my players wants to play a kobold arcane trickster. Generally I am all for this, but as I have only read the first 1 1/2 books, I'm curious if there will be any trouble getting him involved in the story line or finding good campaign hooks? He wanted to take the public dueling trait which I thought might be a bit of a stretch, but slavery or some other back ground crimes could set him up for wanting some say in how the kingdom is run.

Working in weird or difficult characters in WotW is just a matter of making the PCs' patrons a little more controlling. You're in prison, they bust you out, they own you now. If you also want to make the jailors big jerks just to encourage a revenge motivation, more power to you. Same if you go into some detail about who sent the PC to prison, why, and how mad they should be about it.

But yeah, if you can get through the first book, you're fine. Asmodeus doesn't appreciate quitters.
