Zrak is around 22 years of age, he spent 20 years in his home village Axhro were he was well known as an outstanding and prime example of a kind goblin. He has spent the rest of his years travelling around in bigger cities like Neverwinter to gain a deeper understanding of the world due to his low intelligence. During these travels Zrak has made a name for himself as helpfull person and despite being a goblin is warmly welcomed at the places he frequents.

The blue skin Zrak has is due to his affinity for magic, which is extremely rare for goblinoids. Originally he was set on the path of a sorcerer due to being born with wild magic. However, after the whispering moon's meddeling with Zrak in his youth he was led down the path of a warlock, because of the magical cermony he did trade away his soul to gain more power and kill his own family. It is unknown if Zrak still posseses to abilities of a sorcerer or if they are lost forever, only time will tell.

Zrak is also the one who currently have  'The Glassstaff' in his possesions.

He usually wears a red cloak stolen from the Redbrands in Phandalin.

Zrak's eyecolor is ever changing due to his behavior, every thing he does that is aligend with whispering moon makes his eyes whiter and fade away. While every time he learns something new or does something against his patrons wishes makes his pupils black and irises grey, as well as his eyes become more detailed and refined.

Due to only having one arm Zrak always goes for ranged attacks despite being right by his opponents because he holds his staff in his only arm. However, being deformed Zrak sometimes uses to his advantage to duck or escape his enemies more nimbly. That being said, Zrak have a tendancy to lose himself in fights, and do not stop until his enemy is down.

 Background: 

Zrak is a goblin that tries his best to be a hero and help everyone that he can. He always places his friends needs and wishes over himself, unfortunatly his 'best friend' is an evil god which twists and turns Zark's understanding what is considered right or wrong. Due to also being born and raised in a reclusive goblin village Zraks understanding of humans and other more civilized societies still leaves much to be desired.

Through divination and more ritualistic ways, Zrak in his youth, supervised be an tribe elder managed to drawn the attention of a number of otherworldy beings in an goblin cermony to further establish his unique magical abilities. While at first nothing seemed out of the ordinary Zrak started to hear voices and having strange dreams advisning him how to better be a 'hero' and help others. As well as instructing him how to grow stronger. Over time Zrak got more intimate with the voice and strange whispering moon he met in his dreams. Zrak started to rely more and more upon his newfound friend as he felt the bond and trust growing stronger and strong, after the moon's advise proving helpful to Zrak and his goals.

Being raised as a boohyal goblin due to his magic powers Zrak didn't have many friends to confide in, this eventually led him to share everything with his only friend 'the whispering moon'. After the goblin village Axhro got into conflict with other nearby settlements Zrak had a dream at night as usual where he talked with the moon. The moon told Zrak that he was a god and that he thought Zrak was a really good and kind person, and wanted him to help with clearing away the goblin village since it was bothersome and in his way. Since Zrak didn't feel any attachment to his tribe village he quickly decieded to help his best friend and thus killed the entire tribe during the night by preforming a ritual gifted by the moon where Zrak had to offer one of his arms. After commiting nothing short of goblin genocide with the help of the moon, Zrak burned the corpses of his tribe members as well as his father, mother and younger brother before heading towards the nearest human town with a big goofy smile.

After arriving in Neverwinter City Zrak quickly met a noble bard by the name of Teodnik which he "befriended" and followed around to be able to listen to music. He also found the human to be a very intelligent and decied to entrust him with a big financial investment at Teodniks own recommendations.

During His stay in Neverwinter City Zrak helped out many people around him, doing his best to learn while still following his friends Moon God and Teodnik. Eventually Zrak also met up with Medrash Akra the dragonborn from a local temple as Zrak and Teodnik accepted a transporting quest to Phandalin. And thus the trio of Medrash Mr Caijor and Zrak formed The First Party

Excerpt from ' Collection of Monsters: Sword Coast' (written by: Moran Cesimir):
"'Exact origin of the goblin going by the name Zrak or sometimes Zark is unknown, the person in question often refers to himself as Boohyal Goblin of a tribe village going by the name Axhro in the southern swamps. Historic records show that there have been goblin camps in the area before but exact villages and their name remained unknown. Recent rumors state that a powerful goblin showed up before the destruction and massacre of the goblin tribes in the area. These rumors coincidentally mention that the magical goblin was a more unique blue skin.""Zrak the Goblin is known to the people that have interacted with him to be a kind and helpful little fellow, often going with him calling him a hero due to him always helping when given the opportunity.""The bluish goblin is also a very religious person often found praying zealously. The Deity his prayers goes to is shrouded in mystery much like Zrak himself. According to witnesses of his praying the god seems to be called ‘Moon God’ by the little goblin.""There have been incidents where adventurers that have travelled with Zrak end up calling him ‘evil’ or ‘heretic’, but these cases are mostly ignored and/or written off as Zrak just being dumb or a goblin, given that the goblin's craziness is widely known.""In conclusion Zrak or sometimes Zark is a crazy and dumb little goblin that is very religious. He is a self proclaimed hero and tries his best to help everyone around him to the best of his abilities. His past is as of now yet unknown as the only information comes from Zrak himself and his ‘crazy stories of the past’.'"" Note 1: Zrak is capable of casting magic making him even more unique goblin than just his blue skin. ""Note 2: He is missing his left arm. According to his stories, he lost it in a battle to 'save' his village."
