The Goalmaster learned the ancient laws of the rink from his father, who learned them from his father before him, a member of the NHL, where all worthy Rollers will one day end up. He has somehow adapted hockey rules to rules of survival and nature and uses these to lead a tribe/gang of roughly three dozen people.
The scrapper's lifestyle in Puyallup is far more dangerous than some might expect.  While the district has a plethora of desiccated buildings just begging to be ripped apart for rebar, technology, and whatever industrial materials might be left over from the corporate interests in the area, it's wise to keep in mind that those buildings have been rotting there for just over 65 years. Dangerous terrain, smoke inhalation, and lung problems are the least of a salvager's concern; cracking open old factories often means contending with chemical vapors that have been stewing inside for decades.  Few know that fact better than Goalmaster.

Overview

The scrapper's lifestyle in Puyallup is far more dangerous than some might expect. While the district has a plethora of desiccated buildings just begging to be ripped apart for rebar, technology, and whatever industrial materials might be left over from the corporate interests in the area, it's wise to keep in mind that those buildings have been rotting there for just over 65 years. Dangerous terrain, smoke inhalation, and lung problems are the least of a salvager's concern; cracking open old factories often means contending with chemical vapors that have been stewing inside for decades. Few know that fact better than Goalmaster.

It's uncertain what his name was back when he was a fair bit more sane. All that's known about his past is his proclivity for scraping every last bit of value out of the wasteland that is Puyallup - and it's clear that he's been doing it long enough to inhale his fair share of toxic fumes. Whether that imparted a particularly unusual sort of brain damage or just exacerbated an already-existing instability, he now ping-pongs between being eccentric, but approachable, and experiencing vivid hallucinations. The only unifying themes of his flights of fancy appear to be an obsession with hockey and the rules thereof, and a vague fantastical bent. But against all odds, even with his mental issues, he's still one of the most reliable scrappers in the region, capable of supplying raw materials and drugs in bulk... at least, as long as you're willing to go on a quest for the Puck of Destiny once in a while.
