Chief Ballo

Chief Ballo was the father of Buzz, Zipp and Zixx Steamgear. He founded and ruled the chiefdom of the Ballows and constructed the fort known as Stuntspike. Not much is known about him, but Buzz's journalspeaks of Ballo as a great warrior but poor leader.

Background
Ballo was either a slave or a tribal Goblin who grew up in the jungles of Kezan around 140 years BDP.

Once he matured he grew much larger than most Goblins and quickly became known as a strong and great warrior. He later passed this giant gene on to his oldest son Buzz.

Rise to Power
Ballo would have been able to rival a young Troll's strength and most likely smashed his way to freedom. He founded a chiefdom he named "The Ballows" after himself. A wooden fort was constructed, as well as walls, towers and many farms. He had many concubines and had many children, however one concubine gave him a three ling of sons and so she became his first wife.

End of an Age
About 30 years after the founding of the Ballows, the stronghold came under constant attack from Island Trolls. On one night the Trolls managed to infiltrate the guards using voodoo magic, not long after the stronghold fell and was destroyed. Chief Ballo died bravely while fighting the thing he hated most in the world.. Trolls.

Legacy
Although Ballo was not much of a brainiac and did not really achieve anything for Goblin-kind he has inspired many Goblin Bards to write poems and songs like the poem of Chief Ballo.

Ballo fought with a greatclub he named Tuskgut, it is believed that the Island Trolls who defeated Ballo took the weapon as a trophy after his death. It still remains undiscovered to this day.
