    If his goal is completed and he lives, he will retire a hero, he will rule his people (because he is a ruler, already at that) and then he will die a legend.

    If he doesn't survive the completion of his goal, he will skip the first two steps and die a legend anyway.
    Redcloak said that even if the Snarl destroyed the world and all its inhabitants and erased their souls (Redcloak and his brother own sould included), he would still consider that a win, since that would allow the Dark One to take part in the creation of the next world and ensure that goblins were better treated in that new world...which tells us that Redcloak doesn't care **** about individual goblins, only about the goblin race as an abstract concept.

    Truth to be told, if Redcloak's objetives were the ones he told his brother before meeting Xykon during the Start Of Darkness, he could retire already: The goblins have their own nation, and can compete with the other races on an equal footing, but he's still pursuing his very-likely-to-backfire-and-destroy-all-goblin-souls plan, so I think he has raised the stakes and won't settle for anything less than world domination.

    I Redcloak wins...a goblin empire will enslave humans, elves and dwarves; even if the gods divide the world evenly among goblins and non-goblins the fast breeding rate of goblins will mean they will soon need the other half, and since the Dark One will hold a gun against the other god's heads, they will have to allow the goblins to conquer the world.

    But that will never happen: At least Thor and the Twelve Animal gods know about the gates, the gods can perfectly seal the gates, the problem being that they would have to destroy the world to do it, so they are waiting, expecting their mortal minions to solve the problem again, but, if Redcloak is ever close to win, I think they will destroy the world rather than allowing the Dark One to seize the gates.
