This time the character biography of a non human from The Mystical Realms

Chidal
Chidal is an elderly goblin. (Goblins are about three feet tall) Chidal appeared, albeit unnamed in Season Five Emperor of the Trolls, then he was in his own Mystical Realms side tale and finally he made an appearance in season seven

Chidal and his wife Fadol elected to go into penal servitude to the trolls when due to crop failure his son Keval became indebted. This manifested itself by Chidal and Fadol serving for several years at the citadel of the troll emperor, Karam Tag Chou in the scullery.

During his time there he came across Sarah Smith who had been abducted by a gnoll from Earth, after it gated onto the wrong aircraft and killed everyone else including the girl's last surviving parent.

Chidal along with his wife realised that the child was not a hobbit but a human and did their best to care for her, until she was rescued by Graeme Andrews and Angela Roberts. For this they were rewarded by granting their freedom, but they elected to continue serving at Karam Tag Chou.

With the change of governance and the loss of importance of Karam Tag Chou, Chidal and his wife were let go and escorted back to their goblin village where to their horror they discovered that their son's family had been slaughtered by renegade trolls on the loyalist side who had attacked the village. This discovery caused Chidal's wife to suffer a heart attack and die.

Chidal then ended up at a local hostelry which the surviving village elders had deemed to be a shelter for survivors of the troll attack. There Chidal made friends with an orphaned female goblin child. After the dwarf landlord's daughter exacted severe corporal punishment on the child, Chidal resolved to take her away back to Karam Tag Chou, only to meet his son Keval.

Chidal ended up returning with the goblin child, who was instantly under goblin law adopted by Keval, to the new farmstead allotted to Keval to help produce food for the goblin village.

When the child's relatives from the goblin city arrived to collect her they judged she was in good hands and allowed her to stay with Chidal and Keval. The aunt, chose to stay with them and so Chidal moved back to the hostelry to take up the job of cook, left vacant by the landlord's daughters decision to leave to return back to the dwarfs.

Chidal served there for a time and was briefly taken to Earth along with his son and he new family, (The goblin child, the aunt who he married and her new baby), to gather intelligence on the Magnus Timor cult that at that time had captured the goblin village.

After the defeat of the Magnus Timor, Chidal returned to working as cook for the hostelry.
