Krenko
Krenko is a goblin warrior who lives on the plane of Ravnica. He lives doing job requests as a mercenary for businessmen, usually undercover and hidden operations.
In one of these job requests, he meet a man named Mr. Taz who offered him several job offers. One of these offers from Mr. Taz involved Krenko in the explosion of an azorious statue and the use of flaming saprolings. Despite the obvious danger, Krenko likes working for Mr. Taz and what he calls his "delicious jobs".He can be described as an action lover. He also appreciates, as a young goblin starting in this business, having a well-connected "patron" like him.
Later, he accepted a job that involved an incursion in the Boros Legion's guildhall to retrieve a requested item for Mr. Taz. Upon accepting the job, Mr. Taz slid a velvet bag across the table, and hand in a tool for Krenko's job. Light escaped through the seams. Krenko looked inside the bag and found a glowing shiv inside.
With Taz's enchanted shiv tucked in his boot, Krenko began his surveillance on Sunhome. After an hour on a rooftop with a spyglass, Krenko was hot and bored, and had learned little new. The next morning, Krenko swaggered into Sunhome's mess hall like he owned the place. At the cavernous hall, there was a thousand soldiers at feeding time. He sat at the end of a bench and started listening the conversation of the soldiers.
There, was a woman with a bandage in her forehead was discussing to a black-haired man.
-"It's come down to a duel," he informed the woman seated across the table. She had a bandage on her forehead.
-"Who drew the line? Aurelia?" she asked. She kept her voice low like she didn't want to be easily heard. But the man spoke louder than necessary.
-"No, the nosy Azorius found it in the fine print," he said.
-"I find that hard to believe," the woman said doubtfully. "Aurelia let it stand?"
-"Why shouldn't she?" the man practically shouted. "She could crush Vinrenn in a heartbeat."
-"Shut your mouth, grunt!" someone shouted and a fistfight erupted between the tables.
Krenko picked upt his plate and headed the other end of the hall. He was kind of annoyed because that kind of undiscipline wasn't what he remembered from boros effciency and righteous justice.
The next day, he returned looking for trouble. Krenko joined a goblin maintenance crew on one of the gigantic balconies that jutted from the blocky edifice and asked him where he could find Feather to take a look at her. The goblin told him that she says you must call her Guildmaster Vinrenn now, and that she was on the top floor. He also told Krenko that Aurelia is going to be the new Boros master, and that she also said that "no disgraced angel's got the right to rule". The goblin also told him that Aurelia was not planning to kill Vinrenn if she makes no trouble, just banish her.
Krenko understood that the Sunhome was teetering on the edge, and that all it needed was just a litle push. He used chaos to cover his actions: rumors, punch goblins, bombs, fires... until he reached the top floor and entered the chambers of Vinrenn, the guildmaster who apparently lacked control.
Krenko found himself in an empty room under an open skylight. Harsh sunlight shone down on a glassy detention sphere, which hovered above the blood-red fist emblazoned on the tile floor. A white-winged angel was in magical stasis inside the cell. Her wings tucked around herself like a little bird, she appeared to be sleeping.
He stabbed the misty sphere but nothing happened. Then he noticed a solid near the top and slammed the shiv's handle against the solid invisible piece of the sphere. A sucking sound and blue lighting zinged across the room. With another good smash, the sphere dissipated, sending the angel tumbling unceremoniously to the floor. He heard footsteps approaching in the corridor, so Krenko quickly plucked two feathers from the angel's wings just as she began to stir and called for help, saying the angel tried to escape, that she is free and tried to attack him. Suddenly the guards entered the room while Krenko escaped. While he was scampering from the action zone, he saw an armored minotaur dragging the angel by her feet unhearing her protests.
At sunset, Krenko meet Mr. Taz in an exclusive and coveted aerial platform of Ravnica. Mr. Taz was exceptionally pleased with Krenko's job and said the payment was being delivered to the establishment they previously had agreed. Krenko extended his hand to close the deal but instead of shaking it, Taz handed him a silver key with the Orzhov symbol carved into the shaft.
Mr. Taz explained that there is an Orzhov safebox, and the key is all he needed to retrieve the money. Krenko asked whose money was and Taz said it was Feather's money, her salary earned as a Wojek. And that she won't need it anymore. He also told Krenko to consider it a bonus payment, for a job well done. He pocketed the key while Mr. Taz asked him if he could picku up something for him while he was in the Orzhova.
