Once a part of the Goldfinger Co., Norbin was cast out of the family-owned business due to disseverances in company vision between himself and his half-brother, Godfried Goldfinger. After his expulsion from both his family and line of work, Norbin sought out his own enterprise and founded the Emporium of Wonderous Goods from where he peddles magic artifacts and items which he swindled from the Goldfinger Co. warehouses during the dispute. Norbin is eccentric, even for the likes of a Goblin, with many high aspirations for himself and revenge against the company which he believed wronged him.
