Numbtongue is a Goblin Hob and the [Goblin Soulbard] of the Wandering Inn.
Appearance
He has green skin and crimson eyes. Once becoming a Hobgoblin his height is taller than an average human. He has pointy ears and a rather lengthy, pointed nose. His teeth are pointy and sharp, and have two rows, like a shark.
He has red tattoos that mark his identity from when he was a Redfang that other Redfang members would be able to recognize.
Personality
Numbtongue is a Goblin who doesn’t like to talk despite being able to do so quite fluently. He’s got a great memory, and he’s memorized both music and Erin's plays by heart very quickly after only hearing them once.[2]
Numbtongue was the only Redfang Elite Warrior with a fluent grasp of the Common Language but only speaks when absolutely necessary.

Chronology
Numbtongue was one of thirteen Redfang Elite Warriors tasked to kill Erin Solstice by Garen Redfang. On their way to Liscor, Numbtongue and the other goblins participate in the defense of Esthelm where the surviving members evolve into Hobs. Numbtongue and the other goblins saved Erin from Eater Goats.
The group was eventually hired as security at The Wandering Inn where they worked together until the Goblin Lord's attack on Liscor. (for a more detailed breakdown of the achievements of their entire group, see Redfang Elite Warriors)
Numbtongue was severely injured during the battle but was saved by [Emperor] Laken. After the attack, Numbtongue was the only Redfang Elite Warrior remaining at the Wandering Inn.
