Iggdraxikkerlitsyn ('Iggy' for short, 'Mad Little Flame-obsessed Goblin Tinker' to those who really know him, 'Ack-are-you-trying-to-kill-us' to any whose tried his cooking)
Iggy started life as the child of goblin servants for the mad genius inventor, Austentarius Bartholomew Von Durslik. Iggy learned how to clean the mad master's lab in the careful and particular way the genius inventor wished. Oh, the goblin family knew of the treacherous mutterings - how word of the master's designs to take over the Empire with his scientific and technological creations had gotten out, how the scientific community and Empire loyalists railed at his 'thaumatalogical offenses against the natural and paranatural world' and 'traitorous designs'. Iggy and his family just cleaned the beakers, polished the instruments, and buffed the big zappy thing with the sparks that tingled so warmly. It was a surprise to the goblin servants when a special operations team sent by the government stormed the lab and Austentarius activated the defense automatons and primed his 'Secret Doomsday Weapon'. Young Iggy was just looking for a place to stay out of the way on the catwalks above the bubbling vats connected to the Weapon. It seemed like a good idea to the below-intelligence goblin. He was wrong. In the fight a stray energy bolt collapsed the catwalk and Iggy fell into the charged vats of unknown chemicals that splashed into one another, never meant to mix.
Iggy awoke in a secret hospital 3 weeks later. He's told he was rescued and resuscitated just before the lab exploded killing the ill-named Austentarius and, unfortunately, Iggy's parents. The young goblin grasped the ramifications immediately. Then surprised himself by knowing the word 'ramification'. In fact, everything seemed brighter. Iggy recalled many of the scientific tools he used to clean and could discern their probable uses with perfect clarity. He weighed the pros and cons of sharing his newfound capacities with his 'rescuers', he decided to risk it and opened dialogue. He provided many of the diagrams and scientific 'breakthroughs' otherwise lost in the explosion of Autentarius's lab, pioneered by an unscrupulous mind free of moral and civilized constraints. Iggy promised never to share or even speak of these designs again in return for his freedom, a new identity, and a chance to serve in the airfleet.
It was in the service of Her Majesty's Aerial Navy, the mentally enhanced and technologically-minded goblin rose to Senior Engineer on one of the lesser flagships. It was there that an explosion during a border skirmish claimed the goblin's arm. The injury was grounds for an honorary discharge. Rather than being disheartened, the inventor goblin designed himself a new arm with plans for many more upgrades and enhancements. In the meantime, he's interested in other things that may occupy his attention and ever-spinning mind.
Complications:
Mental overdrive - Iggy's mind is constantly running and making connects, moving from topic to topic. Therefore he is unsuited to lengthy focus on tasks of anything but a mechanical, scientific, or alchemical nature, like surveillance, or lengthy conversations (say, over 4 minutes).
Cooking - Iggy is convinced that he is a consummate cook and while his sense of smell would let him detect all the ingredients in a stew, his own personal tastes are... eclectic and he has no problem with chocolate covered hot peppers on a bed of sauerkraut and blueberries.
Goblin - despite the enhanced capabilities afforded him by the lab accident when he was younger he's still a member of an often disregarded and dismissed race. Despite his ability to see connections and formulate decent plans, for example, few will be convinced it is anymore than just 'goblin nonsense'.
Heir of Von Durslik - Iggy's mind contains the designs for many of his former master's designs and blueprints. If any like-minded mad genius knew or figured out the connection between the two they may try... drastic measures to extract the information from Iggy's mind.

{with an audible and ominous hum this device powers up. After several seconds, a field envelopes Iggy trapping in air as insulation against the elements (a recycler keeps the air breathable). It also has a measure of buoyancy, It's stable enough to take accurate shots on the go while being a measure of 'slippery' to take him part way out of area effects.)

{Iggy shakes and handful of these small beauties to prime the reagents then a wide arc of Iggy's arm disperses a number of the marble-sized globes filled with a rapid-expanding grey frothy glue that traps those caught in it (and any who touch those caught in it). Iggy has a spray to dissolve the glue.}
