Coober is a powerful [[Wizard]] whose skill with magic is only matched by his skills in cunning and misdirection. An [[NPCs|NPC]] character originally from the [[Dank Dungeons and Dragons]] campaign, Coober made his first official URealms Live appearance in [[The Nuren Campaign]] with claims from the development team that they aim to make him the "Where's Waldo?" of UR Live [https://youtu.be/SQiHxJ7NYEo?t=1735], with the role of being "Technically always helpful, technically always not helpful."

Coober decided to hide himself amongst a group of Kobold prisoners under the disguise as Kobold Wizard named "[[Rebooc]]".

That is, until a [[Jakelad|Porc prisoner]] mounted an escape by having several other Porcs attack the cart. "Rebooc" and the other Kobold prisoners decided to help their captures and defeat the porcs. After the battle, the captain of the captures, [[Gwyneth Sunsword]], decided to free their prisoners for their help. "Rebooc" decided to stay and enter the prison instead for unknown reasons.
