Krisb was born in small goblin city to a respected family. His father was one of the City Councilmen and was afforded some benefits from that such as a good education. From an early age he was fascinated with, well, let's say "biology". He would find dead animals and disect them in a very scientific and orderly way. His parents used their clout to get him a good education as a surgeon. He was good as a surgeon, though tended to be more interested in actually learning how things worked then actually fixing them. He failed out of school and got a job as an "enforcer" for the local crime syndicate. He was very good at that, until they asked him to maim the child of someone who owed them money. He refused, and left town.
