Introduction[]
Goliath is introduced in Chapter 242. When Ilea first met him he was level 212 and spent most of his time in his smithy in Hallowfort alone because he has a 'curse' that continually drains the life force from people who get too close to him. Ilea is not affected by this due to her extremely overwhelming health pool and healing skills.
When they first meet, Goliath finds it amusing that Ilea is a human and that she is so far north. He grants her request for this reason. Her request was for him to make her armor from the Stonehammer Steel she gathered from the Rose Knights. In return for him creating the armor, he receives his own Stonehammer Steel to do whatever he pleases with.
From here their relationship develops further after Ilea continually visits as her armor is continually bashed to pieces. They have long conversations and it ends up giving her a lot of information about the north and the world in general.
Eventually, After Ilea clears it out, Goliath moves to the factory in Izna and spends his days working there.
He returns to Hallowfort after the betrayal, and shortly after moves near Meadow, which will help him improve his craft with the rare Materials Ilea has hoarded during her many travels, starting with the almost impossible to melt wyrm scales.
Ilea brings Lily to meet him during the Meadow Accords tournament, and upon Lily's refusal to receive a gift dagger from him on behalf of Ilea, he offers to make a weapon for her in the future if she can bring him something of interest and a design of more merit than a mere dagger. He sees no value in money aside from the metal it is made of.[1]
Description[]
Goliath is a Dark One - a being that was once a monster but has gained conciseness after surviving for so long- and we really don't get all that much of a description other than a dark mist with two arms that looked solid while the rest of him is more ethereal. He does not have a physical voice per se- Ilea describes its voice as a surround sound system.
