History
Past
Goldberg was born in a village in Elbaf around 63 years before the present day. His birth was celebrated at the start of the 12-day fast leading up to the Winter Solstice.
22 years ago, Goldberg, Hajrudin, and Gerd traveled to Ohara a few months after its destruction and salvaged the books that had been thrown into the lake. Afterward, they transported the books to Elbaf.
During the Timeskip
Many years later, Goldberg and three other giants joined Hajrudin in his goal to revive the Giant Warrior Pirates. The crew became mercenaries for the pirate dispatch organization, Buggy’s Delivery. During the duration of their service, the crew became the five top earners of the organization, as well as earning the rank of S-Class soldiers.
