Publicly a wealthy trader who operates a number of apothecaries through the city of Bumbleton but actually an upcoming crime lord and direct rival to Nico Rossini.
During a territorial dispute one of Cobbleton's men fatally wounded Grundle the Grudge, a member of the Company of Steel. Johannes Kal took this personally and called in a favour with the Raven Guard to have Cobbleton abducted so he could be tortured - resulting in his permanent disfigurement.
With the untimely death of Nico Rossini, Cobbleton has managed to take control of many of his assets.
