Kruk-Kruk

Kruk-Kruk was the former leader (also known as the Capitalist) of the Shiny Aurix Tribe. He was a fat kobold, orange-yellow in color, who had a fondness for sweets. Despite his rank, Kruk-Kruk was not a good businessman. He had obtained the title by treachery and an alliance with the Rockswobble Twins.

Biography
Kruk-Kruk was a simple kobold. He was a very average (and often ignored) member of the Shiny Aurix Tribe who had a dream to open a sweets stall in Jenerika. He borrowed heavily from the tribe's coffers to fufill this dream. Kruk's gluttony outdid him though and he ate more wares than he sold. Broke, indebt, and humiliated he took to wandering the nearby forest in search of easy ways to make a living. During one such walk he stumbled across the Rockswobble Twins (a pair of illusionist conmen from the Baker's Dozen) who had been casing the Shiny Aurix tribe.

They had a very cunning plan. Poison Apalala (a water drake that the tribe mistook for a young black dragon) that the tribe worshipped, have Kruk-Kruk poison the Capitalist and his next in line, then use illusions to have the drake pass the title onto Kruk-Kruk. He would regain his honour and the gnomes would be able to keep all of the treasures that the kobolds gave to Apalala. It worked quite well for a few months. When some kobolds began to question Apalala's rulings (and lack of speaking in draconic) they started restricting access to him under the guise that he was displeased with various high standing kobold members. (An example being that Apalala was offended by Glitterscale's gaudy dragon medallion.)

This ruse ended when the Band of Hatchmates came to town and demanded an audience with Apalala. They quickly uncovered the ruse and Kruk-Kruk's betrayal. He fled to a bakery in Jenerika after selling some of the tribe's artifacts to the Baker's Dozen Guild in hopes of their protection. When that failed he was apprehended and executed for his crimes.
