Gorr

Gorr was an Inquisitor in the Church of Aariskos. He was killed in action in 1484 by the collapse of Thanitet Keep.

Early Life
Nothing is known of Gorr's early life. He may have been a member of the Congregation, or have been taken into the Church of Aariskos directly. By the time he encountered the mercenary Rasnarí, he was a full-fledged inquisitor of the lower order.

Attempted assassination of Hordek
In late 1483, Gorr took the task of assassinating the former Theajin revolutionary, Hordek. While he waited patiently for a chance to enter the serpent's headquarters outside of Ijarim, his attempt was thwarted when he prematurely shot the captain of an incoming patrol. No longer hidden from sight, he was disarmed by one of the watchtower snipers, and captured by the patrol.

Gorr was interrogated by one of Hordek's numerous bodyguards. While Gorr gave little away, Hordek was able to confirm his status as an Inquisitor by his equipment and mannerisms, and suspected that his orders were to remove him as a threat. The revolutionary questioned Gorr's moral authority based on his apparent lack of faith in Aariskos, and wondered if he would suffer the same fate as a heretic under Tharidar. When it became apparent Gorr would say no more, he was taken to a military prison further south.

He was eventually released to avoid further escalating tensions with Vedania, and was escorted to the border by a small cohort of military police.

Death

Gorr attempted to apprehehend the Jaldokkyr Jol'Keleth. While he managed to secure the kyr with the aid of Inthena, he was killed in the ensuing collapse of the keep at the hands of Ixh'Nharlos'Jarosia. His body was found some time later, and a funeral pyre was held in his honour in the nearby city of Aridat.

Trivia

 * In his years as an inquisitor, Gorr had never worked with the priesthood. He showed surprise when told they wore plate armour, and had apparently thought them and the clergy one and the same.
 * Gorr was noted as having abnormal body strength, and he wore armour that others found restrictive in design. The armour was constructed at his request with with heavy plating and three layers of mail, and took nearly an hour and three aides to assemble correctly. Despite the massive weight, Gorr remained dextrous enough to be effective in combat, though he was easily exhausted in protracted engagements.
 * Gorr had a mild obsession with the excess; his armour was enameled, smoothened, and painted black, and certain sections were gilded with gold to form a trim.
