Redshift is a goblin pilot from an unknown plane, and co-captain of the Goblin Rocketeers during the 2nd Ghirapur Grand Prix.[1]
Description
Before he led the Goblin Rocketeers, Redshift was a brash and brilliant test pilot with an incredible (some might even say impossible) survival rate. An innovator in goblin aeronautics, Redshift was not the first goblin to strap a rocket to his back and strike the ignition, but he was the first to live to see the next day. By dint of fate or luck, Redshift has survived every test he's ever run and concluded his winning streak will never end. He has survived more crashes than he can count, earning the loyalty of his crew.[2]
History
Redshift was determined to lead his crew to new heights. As long as there's a sky above and a rocket behind, they would follow him to death or glory.[3]
Thanks to their powerful engines, the Rocketeers stayed at the head of the pack throughout the first three legs of the race, but this was to their detriment in the third leg through Muraganda, when they were the first to cross a trap laid on the course by saurid raiders. During the race, he abandoned his co-captain Daretti, putting victory over all other interests.[4]
In the final stage, his vehicle was wrecked, and he was mind controlled by Jace Beleren, who was attempting to recover his adopted child Loot.[5]
Trivia
- The "Redshift" is the optical phenomenon where the light from a departing object appears redder from a neutral observer as the departing light stretches longer in wavelength, like when the audience observes a racer rocketing away from the starting line.
