'Gorge' is an adult male human who was
introduced in Dragonslayer. He was formerly a dragonmancer of Talisman.

## Description

Gorge has slick hair, terrible skin, and a lizard's face. He is short
and has bumps all over his face. He usually wears a robe, and he has a
slithering voice.

## Personality

Gorge's perpetual expression was sly, insecure, and malevolently gleeful
at the same time, as though he knew full well that everyone he met
wanted to punch him but could not because of his power. Leaf mentioned
that Gorge had never cared for the village, wanting more treasure and
power instead. When Wren and Sky confronted the dragonmancers, Gorge
tried to sidle behind some of the bigger townspeople.

## Biography

### Legends

#### Dragonslayer

Gorge appeared when he and the other dragonmancers attempted to
sacrifice Wren to the dragons in the Dragonmancers#Gift for the
Dragons|Gift for the Dragons ceremony.

When Leaf and Grove found the map of the SkyWing palace, Leaf tried to
imagine Gorge, Crow, and Trout as young treasure smugglers. Later, when
Mushroom ran away with the copied map to steal the SkyWing treasure for himself, Crow and Gorge caught Leaf and Rowan discussing what
to do about it. Gorge questioned who they were talking about, and when
Leaf told him and Crow about Mushroom's coming attempt to steal the
treasure, Gorge referred to Mushroom as a doomed idiot for trying this,
despite the dragonmancers forbidding it. He told Leaf and Rowan to go
after Mushroom and bring back treasure for them, under the threat of
"sacrificing" Grove to the dragons otherwise. Gorge beckoned to Tadpole
and instructed him to lock Grove in the dragonmancers' council hut and
set up guards.

Rowan explained Crow and Gorge's plan to sacrifice Grove if they did not
follow Mushroom to bring them treasure back. Leaf admitted with horror
that Crow and Gorge were indeed threatening to do more than just
sacrifice Grove's goats. Rowan later explained this to Mushroom when
they finally caught up with him after he had managed to steal some of
the SkyWing treasure.

When Wren made her reappearance into Talisman, she told Gorge and Crow —
who were trying to hide behind some of the larger citizens — to "come
over and be appreciated." Wren later asked Gorge for the keys to the
dragonmancers' meeting house, which he tossed over with the help of
Sky's threatening growl. When Cranberry unlocked the meeting house and
gave the keys to Leaf so he could free Grove, Gorge protested that they
had not said they would be unlocking the jail as well.

It's been a long time since you or I had any new dragon
treasure, […] So many useless, weak apprentices. So prone to getting
eaten before they can achieve their goals.

No, no, no, […] If you're going all that way, someone should
go into the palace, steal something, and bring it back to us. Otherwise,
I'm afraid something terrible will happen.
