Binkles the Frog was once a rich merchant, known by the name of Gheed. He was part of the one percent, the richest men in all of Sanctuary. He built his wealth by gambling and trading a vast selection of products to many great warriors.
One day, Gheed had a shipment of rare expensive potions coming in and he decided to sell guarantees of receiving the item to his customers. Among his customers was a powerful witch doctor, the witch doctor mistakenly trusted Gheed and paid to be guarantee a potion from Gheed's shipment. However, Gheed miscalculated and he had oversold the amount of potions he received in his shipment. He was able to deliver the potion to only half of the customers that he had promised a potion and due to his greedy nature he embezzled the gold he received from the remaining customers and fled.
The witch doctor happened to be one of the customers who received nothing; he was extremely upset that he did not receive his potion so he went looking for Gheed. When he finally found Gheed gambling somewhere in the Borderlands, he brought his own form of justice upon Gheed by setting a plague of toads upon Gheed, poisoning his skin which rotted his flesh slowly while paralyzing his limbs. Gheed was presented with an ultimatum by the witch doctor, to either die slowly or to become a frog as it was the only way to stop the poison's terrible effects. The once rich and devious merchant now begged for his life, he did not want to die. The witch doctor turned Gheed into a frog and decided that he had not suffered enough. "I must think of a terrible name for you, something ridiculous and embarrassing so you will die forever alone", said the witch doctor "Ahh I really have to go tinkle! WAIT! I've got it! Binkle! no, Binkles! Binkles the frog!"
Everyone in the Sanctuary had heard of how Gheed was turned into Binkles the frog. Merchants and traders became more aware of not breaking promises or robbing their consumers. Binkles the frog is now part of the witch doctor's arsenal of attacks as one of many exploding frogs that he unleashes against the undead and other Evils.
