## Description

### Appearance

Gorrus was a lean, tall man with a mirthless face. In youth, he sported dirty blond hair and blue-grey eyes. As he aged, his hair turned various shades of grey and white. No matter his age, Gorrus walked with a precise and intimidating air. His sharp jaw was generally clean shaven, but he sported a thin dusting of a beard after service.

### Personality

Gorrus was an intelligent and ruthless man. He was exact in all things, and rarely tolerated questions to his authority. The only authority above his own, according to Gorrus, was Good King Omund and The Hero King Ord. As a young man he held less extreme views on law, order, and country.

## Biography

Gorrus was born in the mid summer on the 17th of Arkhos, 6E 447 to Gortov and Ithilia Dorevytch. Immediately, responsibility was thrust upon the young heir in lieu of childhood. His father, known in the Family Chronicle as Gortrov the Ruined, was unable to maintain the House on his own. This meant nearly every aspect of running the estate fell to Gorrus with only his mother and Pulcisfer to aid him.

As a child, Gorrus was thin, lanky, and over confident. He trained under Marijun along his second-cousins Branimir, Darragh, Domhnull, Lucille, and Risa from the time he could walk till he was 15. While Marijun did not train them to excess, Gorrus was at a break neck pace to cease control of House Dorevytch from his father. He accomplished this when he was just 16. Though he was the youngest Head of House Dorevytch, he proved himself consistently with his talent on and off the battle field.

## Relationships

### Branimir Tomirović

Branimir was Gorrus's second cousin, peer, and best friend.

### Darragh Wiédgrey

Darragh was the older twin brother of Domhnull, first cousin to Risa, and Gorrus's second cousin.

### Domhnull Wiédgrey

Domhnull was the younger twin brother of Darragh, Risa's first cousin, and Gorrus's second cousin.

### Gortrov Dorevytch

Gorrus viewed his father as a jaded man who off-loaded his responsibilities as Head of House onto his family, wife, and son. The two were distant for most of his childhood, and Gortrov seemed to only show interest in his son when it suited his needs. But once Gorrus took over officially as Head of House, their relationship improved. Rather than resenting his father, Gorrus pitied the old man due to his inability to effectively rule their House. This sense of pity grew as Gortrov's mind and memory degraded.

### Ithilia Greenwick Dorevytch

A studios and severe woman, Ithilia was a strict mother and matriarch of the clan. Originally, Ithilia was an estate appraiser hired by Pulscifer to evaluate the contents of the trophy room. Gortrov, however, took a liking to the mature woman and began courting her. She had a statuesque figure, white-blonde hair, and cuttingly dark eyes. Where her husband come up short, Ithilia kept the House and family name afloat as not only the matriarch, but as the ever diligent accountant.

### Lucille Beltane Tomirović

Lucille was Gorrus's second cousin and a member of the small farming family, Beltane. Great granddaughter to Gorran the Black and Dayla Dorevytch, she displayed an aptitude with quarterstaffs and subsequently joined her extended family to train under Marijun.

She was kind, though distant from Gorrus. She spent most of her time with Branimir and Risa instead of the Dorevytch heir.

### Marijun Dorevytch

Gorrus and Marijun were close since the heir's birth. Their relationship turned from student-teacher, to equal peers, to Head of House and member of house. Despite their fluctuating relationship, Gorrus always valued Marijun's insight and considered them a close, dear friend.

### Pulscifer

Pulscifer was Gorrus's primary caregiver and guardian in addition to his mother Ithilia. As a child, the two were very close; Gorrus confided in Pulscifer often on his aspirations as head of house and his love of singing. Their relationship became distant as Gorrus aged into a young adult, but nearly ceased when he returned home from war. He was harsher, colder, and immovable in any and all his decisions despite Pulscifer's concerns. His marriage to Ekaterina and the birth of their son Gorrem mended this relationship, but Gorrus truly was never the same.

### Risa Wiédgrey Ljudevit

Risa was Gorrus's second cousin and the first cousin of Darragh and Domhnull Wiédgrey.
