As an envoy maybe he was the leader of a sports team? Goblin races might well be a team event.
Or perhaps he just won the lottery (& lost all the money shortly afterwards, assuming he's 1st level).

Maybe a tabletop gaming company made him their unofficial mascot and plaster his image across all their products and merchandise...
The Goblin is a famous Holo Video [or another movie equivalent] actor in a popular serialized show where he plays one of the most popular characters.
Basically he is Peter Dinklage [who plays Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones], but in space and a goblin.

He does abstract art using fire and random objects as his medium.
I like Tarik's idea. Basically, he's the "star" of a show like Jackass that follows his antics of random destruction and self-harm. Maybe the character doesn't even really realize he's followed everywhere by camera drones and is so famous?
Combat-wise, Envoys mostly just stand there and tell other people what to do rather than doing stunts themselves. I would think an Icon would be closer to the HOST of the show than the star.
Oh come one you can do better

This is somewhat misleading. At anything past the lowest levels Envoys often wind up acting directly, they just spend their Move actions buffing rather than other stuff.

Clever Attack + Get 'Em seems like the best thing to default to when circumstances don't require movement or the use of another ability or item, though, and many of those other abilities do also amount to giving out tactics advice or encouragement, hence my evaluation of the visual flavour of the class.
I kind of picture a Goblin dressed in an awful suit like a wacky game show host or something.|

Clever Attack + Improved Get Em also gives you the ability to make an attack. That being the case, you'll usually wind up making an attack (and, if going optimally, probably with an unwieldy and thus impressive weapon). There'll be exceptions to that, but it's gonna be the norm. And Clever Attack and Get Em are both fairly flashy thematically, at least potentially.
Which is to say, the visual flavor of the Class at it's most optimal is making a single extremely flashy and impressive attack most turns.

Idea #1: He is the current famous fast-eating champion among the Pact Worlds. He can eat so much within the timed limits that even other goblins are in awe of him.

Idea #2:
He was the star of a show called, "Gobster."
Gobster is the heartwarming tale of a young Goblin adopted by a Lashunta family after his own family passed away in a tragic accident. The show is a sitcom that interspaces itself with moments of true heartwarming feels...
(I stole some plot bits for this from John Varley's The Golden Globe.)

He's the primary recruiting spokesman for the Imperial Goblin Space Navy!
Which totally exists!
WHY ARE ALL OF YOU LAUGHING?!

Its a goblin. Obviously he is a daredevil.An ineffectual Daredevil.
I totally agree with this. And I blame Lord Fyre Cosmo that now I need to rent this movie again for a couple rewatches.
He's a goblin version of jackbutt. Its almost as bad as the earth version.

Goblin Chris Hardwick. Host a 'Talking Adventure Path' after each chapter where you bring in different PCs and NPCs from your adventures to talk about how things went.
- Goblin Rights Activist.
- Latest reincarnation of the religious leader of a small, but still known, cult.
- Part of a prophecy. Maybe he is the goblin that lived, the key to the monster dimension, supposed to give birth to something doomsday-ish. He doesn't care about the prophecy, but used it to gain fame.
- Former winner of the Abadar lottery. He however lost it all due to taxes, gasoline, and exquisite inedible shirren cheese.

Clearly because he is a goblin poet laureate. Everybody knows goblins are the best poets.
Why does there need to be a Why?
Lots of people are famous with no particular talents or reasoning.
Honey Boo-Boo
Kardashians
(Look in an tabloid for other examples.)
Maybe Dash is famous because he is the first Goblin not to try to eat the cameras they use around him.

He just does unboxing videos with pieces of trash. People only watch because he's funny.
He is a bidder gladiator in Storage Skirmishes. Kill, buy or be bought!
