'''Dirt Boss''' has ''plans''.  His small size has condemned him to the role of a lowly underling, but he's a master manipulator, and takes every opportunity to out-maneuver and undermine his rivals and his masters.  He's a skilled and agile warrior, as well, making it likely that he'll fulfill his ambitions—eventually.
