Gorm

The Obliterator

Overview:

Revenants are terrifying. They are powerful and undeterred by magical concealment; if they are slain, their tortured spirits merely seek out new bodies to continue the hunt for their killers. Their only weakness is a ticking timer: they have one year to exact their revenge before their spirits fade from this world. But not Gorm. Gorm has no time limit. Gorm will pursue its target to the ends of the earth, taking new bodies as it goes, in pursuit of its ultimate goal: the utter eradication of its killer’s entire bloodline.

Relationship With Party:

The party first learnt the name Gorm after discovering Miles McDavis' dead body in session 4. They found Miles crucified just outside the City of Vei'on, with the words "Gorm is coming for you" singed into the ground below him. This death made the party want to avenge their fallen friend, which led to them seeking information about Gorm.
During session 5, the party was ambushed by Gorm during a short rest. They were able to defeat him fairly easily, but not before Gorm marked Lorvoril with the "Doom Curse". The party also gained some valuable information after investigating his corpse. They learnt that Gorm is a revenant that grows more powerful the longer he is hunting his target, and that Gorm has the ability to erase his enemies from existance (this ability was seemingly not used against Miles McDavis, as the party still remembers him).
At the end of session 5, Regis Filleman provided the party with more details about Gorm. He revealed that Gorm is an ancient revenant that hunts down the descendants of Bethos' old ruler, God King Gilgamesh, and erases them from existance. Regis explained that if a normal revenant attempts to haunt a descendant of God King Gilgamesh, Gorm will take their place instead. Gorm will then make it his mission to mark the descendant with the "Doom Curse" so he can kill them, their family, and all their friends. Finally, Regis revealed that Gorm has hunted in Bethos once before and that, allegedly, their was a lone survivor of his massacre. Rumours state that this survivor now lives in Ta Lin, and if anyone knows how to stop about Gorm it is them.

Appearance:

Gorm is a 7 foot tall, male humanoid that is draped in black platemail armour and a blood red cape at all times. The only part of Gorm that can be seen through his armour are his glowing red eyes. He wields a large executioner axe and emits a sense of dread wherever he goes. When closely inspecting of Gorm, shadowy whisps of black can be seen rising out of the cracks in his armour.

Important Notes:

Not much is known about Gorm, however the party has managed to discover some key details about his abilities and his past:

• Gorm has existed since before the walls around Bethos' were erected 800 years ago.
• Gorm is a revenant that targets descendants of God King Gilgamesh. When Gorm discovers a descendant of Gilgamesh, he marks them with the "Doom Curse".
• Gorm has the ability to erase someone from existance, making as if they never existed. The party does not know any specifics on this ability.
