Legionary Hobgoblin

Hobgoblins are frequently found as part of mercenary companies,
usually individuals who have ed from battle and were unwilling
to return to their commander to face punishment. Groups of
these deserters may band together, but it is just as common for
individuals to wander until they nd work which suits them.
Hobgoblins are pragmatic and cold, with little in the way of the
passions that rule other races. While most view them as surly
and humorless, it is common for them to possess a dry, blunt wit,
particularly in the face of battle, and they are stalwart allies to
those who have earned their loyalty.
