Gorrin

Gorrin was an inmate of Magmaslag Rock and leader of the Gedzervan, a duergar gang.

Appearance
As a duergar, Gorrin was quite short and had gray skin. He had a beard and tattoos of dwarven runes wrapped around his arm, a portion of which read "Gods guide my hammer." He also wore a horned helmet during the Underbelly Bout.

Personality
Gorrin was quite cruel, spitting on the corpse of one of the slain members of an opposing team in the Underbelly Bout. While his subordinates seemed to follow him willingly, the commands he issued to them while fighting were quite rude and, when sitting with them in the prison yard, he elevated himself about them by sitting on a table, like a king presiding over his court. He was also quite cocky, laughing off Ashara's threats and believing that the Gedzervan's match against the Champions was effectively his commission to kill them.

Background
It is unknown how long Gorrin was with the Gedzervan or what activities they typically engaged in, although Jorah was at least aware of their existence. At some point, Gorrin was apprehended and imprisoned in Magmaslag Rock, along with several of his fellow Gedzervan. He became the de facto ruler of the prison yard and, at some point, developed some enmity with Torble Treecarver.

Demons of Port Valor
When the party was escorted to the prison yard, they saw Gorrin and his lackeys occupying much of the seating, forcing them to seek refuge elsewhere (the Shiving Corner). As Torble tried to take them out of the yard to somewhere they could all speak privately, Gorrin intercepted them, mocking Torble's claims of providing protection and threatening to kill the party as soon as someone paid his gang sufficiently to do the job. When Ashara threatened to turn him inside out, he merely laughed her off and returned to his table. Gorrin and the Gedzervan participated in the Underbelly Bout, where they defeated another team called the Phalanx handily using their ability to enlarge. However, in their next round, the Gedzervan faced the Champions. The battle was very hard-fought, but Gorrin's allies were eventually killed and he wasn't quite able to kill the entire party on his own. Ultimately, Torble killed Gorrin and, once Gorrin's body shrunk back to its normal size, threw his corpse in the magma below the arena.

Goals
Gorrin sought to win his freedom through the Underbelly Bout. He was also interested in killing the infamous Demons of Port Valor (ie, the Champions Valoris) and was excited for the opportunity to kill Torble in the Underbelly Bout as well, claiming he had wanted to kill the gnome since first meeting him.

Abilities
Gorrin was a skilled fighter who wielded a hammer. He was able to create some form of magical link with his allies, guiding their strikes true, and could direct them to strike on his turn as a reaction. As a duergar, he could also enlarge himself and, although he never did in the presence of the Champions Valoris, presumably turn invisible.

Gorrin and Torble
Gorrin greatly disliked Torble. In the prison yard, he made a variety belittling comments toward Torble and, during the Underbelly Bout, Gorrin expressed excitement at the opportunity to kill him. For his part, Torble seemed to greatly dislike Gorrin in return. However, Torble frequently expressed his dislike of Gorrin through humor and blew him a kiss at the beginning of their match in the Underbelly Bout. Gorrin, unamused, swatted the kiss away.
