Gobta was among the first Goblins to be named by Rimuru. Despite their close relationship, Rimuru easily gets annoyed by him. He is the only one of his subordinates who is able to address him casually as a reward for the tournament.
Gobta's former boss within the Goblin Riders. When Rigur was still Captain of the Goblin Riders, he viewed Gobta as a troublesome subordinate and had to apologize to Rimuru for his subordinate's misconducts, however there didn't seem to be any such problems when it came to actual battle, considering Rigur, Gobta, and Ranga were holding off the Ogre Tribe's remnants by themselves before Rimuru arrived, though the Ogres weren't going all-out until that point.After the Jura-Tempest Federation opened diplomatic relations with the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania and Rimuru making him 1 of his acting Diplomats to the Beastmen Kingdom, Rigur given Gobta his position as Captain of the Goblin Riders.
Gobta and Ranga appear to be on good terms and friends. Ranga respected him to the point where he fought beside him in rise the Orc Disaster Demon lord Arc. Gobta was impressed and surprised in Ranga transforming into Tempest star wolf.
During Gobta's first trip to Dwargon, he came in contact with a Blade tiger and had to be rescued by a caravan of Kobolds guarded by some Hobgoblins and a Goblina. Gobta fell in love at first sight, but the Goblina told him that she had no interest in cowards. During Gobta's returning trip he was invited by the Kobolds to join them and run into the Blade tiger again but this time he managed to save the Kobolds by taking care of the Tiger. After that Gobta told her he will continue to get stronger and bid her farewell.
