History

Ajex Gorgoth[2]

Because of his natural birth, when compared to the majority of House Goliath's Vatborn, Gorgoth was marked for his cunning and ingenuity from an early age. His ability to craft weapons and armour from the scavenged scrap of the House's forge pits, gave Gorgoth a leg up in Goliath's brutal internal scuffles. Because of this, it was not long before he rose to become the Forge Tyrant of the Forge Lords gang. This dangerous lifestyle led Gorgoth to receive grievous injuries, but he was able to turn each wound into a greater strength, due to his self-made bionics and crude power armour. This even included replacing his nose after it was bitten off in a fight. And anyone brave or stupid enough to mock the appearance of Gorgoth's new metal nose, found it buried in their forehead.[1]

He later became one of House Goliath's Alphas and master of its Fist enclave settlement, after killing the previous Alpha, whose skull now adorns the trophy rack on Gorgoth's back. However the drudgery of the Fist's day-to-day management is far from the top of his schedule. Instead nowadays, Gorgoth can be usually found furthering Goliath's interests in Hive Primus' Underhive, most often at the end of his massive power claw. He also has an unstoppable popularity with fellow Goliaths, which even has the House's Over-tyrant concerned. Though Varran Gor rules House Goliath, he is now following the Lord of the Fist's career closely, lest the Over-tyrant join Gorgoth's trophy rack.[1]
