Gorkash is the head foreman of the Mire. He has a clean appearance and is well dressed for an orc. He believes in progress, innovation and civilization and hopes to raise the orcs up by adopting some human values. He is strong for the human Empire and is not part of the Resistance.

Personality

The conflict between him and Arkail is a difference in political and moral opinion. Gorkash may not share Arkail's view but he treats him right and never gives in to enraging taunts. He prefers to talk and work things out diplomatically.

Biography

Of Orcs and Men

the Row

Gorkash observes the events in the Row along with many other orcs. When Arkail gets to the end area of the Row, Gorkash orders more goblins to be released. This doesn't stop the two greenskins so Gorkash has the Beserkers send in.

Praise to the Winner

These guys don't stop Arkail either, so rightfully impressed, Gorkash welcomes Arkail to the Mire, announcing him as the new hero of the Row. He is however, not impressed by Arkail's aggressive comments about his position and instead of giving in to the confrontation, he respectfully sends Arkail with Adek so that they may rest.

Being Killed

Seeing Arkail's success in the Row and his subsequent popularity, he anticipates his position as head foreman to be in jeopardy. Soon enough Arkail appears to challenge him but Gorkash never had any intention to fight. He tries to argue with the Bloodjaw but fails to convince him. He makes some dismissive comments before Arkail strikes at him, pushing Gorkash over the edge into the chasm between the base of the tower and the Mire mines.
