Gazrex

"Rex Lootore at your service! Please, call me Rex."

Physical Traits
Gazrex Lootore is about the same height as what is considered average for his race. With long unpierced ears and a nose sticking out of his face like a peak of a steep mountain, Gazrex carries a somewhat overconfident, cocky, look, his wrinkly face contributing to the expression by giving him a constantly grinning face even when he tries to be serious. His lips are wide, as if hastily placed above a broad chin and letting loose an ear-piercing high-pitched voice whenever their ownder decides to use them. He is bald - not a single hair can be seen on his head, despite the fact he is far from being considered "old". His eyes are burning red, a spark of magic lurking within them yet concealed by his intelligent gaze.

His body is not exactly athletic - huge neck, fat fingers, belly the size of a cannonball. The type of his skin is not different than the usual goblin-green, perhaps darker in shade although it is to a large extent due to the filth covering large bits of what can be seen of it - unwashed and ignored, giving him a distinct smell of oil. He lacks in strength, but not in speed and reflextes - his fast legs can accelerate easily, undistubed by the large burden they carry, and his fingers are quick to adjust the tiniest pieces of machinery.

Personality
''"Mind over muscle!" - Gazrex''

Gazrex is a smart and sophisticated goblin, and he tries to show that to everyone: mostly by stating it directly without any thought of subtlety, politeness, or manners. He is also practical, finding more value in raw materials than money, but sharing the love of his race for material possessions. He is hasty in his decisions, but that does not necessarily make them bad; each and every single word or act has been carefully calculated, all outcomes and consequences taken into consideration and always countered by another if gone awry. He doesn't shy away from telling everyone how important he is, even though he grovels to those who hold more power than he does.

Gazrex is cunning and deceptive often altering the deals he is bargaining for rather than accepting them fully - providing he does not make them himself. He tries to exploit every possible weakness of the ones he is dealing with in order to manipulate them, whether they are on his level or higher in power. Gazrex is true only to himself, and would betray the closest of friends - should such even exist - to save his own hide or achieve or obtain whatever he is after. He is a cowardly goblin and would do everything to avoid a fight, his pride does not get hurt from running away and being laughed at for it.

Guild
Rex Tech and Tinkering - Proudly carrying its creator's name, this small Bilgewater company was founded soon after the Cartel's arrival on Kalimdor. Rex hurried to make a deal with the general of a Horde military warband known as the Beastmaw Clan, promising Torakk the services of sappers, war supplies and improved weaponry in the Horde's renewed war with the Alliance. He has set up a workshop at Bilgewater Port, where his company develops and tests its newest creations.

Occupation
Apart from his occupation as a Trade Boss and the brains of Rex Tech, little is known that Gazrex is strong in the arts of magic. He has been seen in the company of demonic minions, but always in seclusion, always by someone he can trust, never in public.

Family
Gazrex keeps mentioning his father, but doesn't say much about him or any other family members for that matter. What Rex has shared so far is that his father was a wealthy merchant and was killed by Gazrex himself in his sleep.

Background
"Right, what did my father use to tell me?"

'' "You're losin' your hair?" ''

'' "Before that." ''

'' "Get out?" ''

 Gazrex and his closest assistant, Right

Little does Rex say about his origins, but several facts are known to be true; it is true that he is a Bilgewater Goblin by origin, that he left Kezan on several occasions and saw the world, and that his arrogance is fueled by a quick and resourceful mind. What isn't known is that he knows poverty at firsthand, despite his father's wealth.

Gazrex acquired his knowledge in Engineering from being passed around as an apprentice or helper to various skillful tinkers of Kezan, disregarded by family and friends, his disappearance ignored. He spent a few years as a slave, captured by bandits who hauled him around the seas as lowly pirates. His liberation and return to Kezan brough embarassment to his well-known father, who in turn abandoned his son out of pride. Angered and confused by these events, Gazrex would one night return, kill his own father in his sleep and steal all his tresure, thus for the first time making a name for himself. Thus began Gazrex's first attempts at personal business, opening a workshop, albeit not so successful, first on Kezan in then in Booty Bay, where he made a lot of contacts, started many trade-relationships and slit one of two throats along the way before returning to the home island.

Criminal Record
Smuggling, murder, theft, dark sorcery. All covered up.

Trivia

 * Gazrex insists on being called Rex by everyone. He also finds it appropriate to mention his name quite a lot when introducing himself, out of fear of being ignored perhaps?


 * Ironically enough, he is bad at memorizing names.


 * He wears a different wig every week.
