Gorak Ironhand

Once an outcast surviving on the city’s rough outskirts, Gorak Ironhand’s life had been shaped by loneliness and prejudice. His goblin heritage marked him as an outlier in human society—mocked, feared, and driven to the shadows. Despite this, he learned to survive through strength, cunning, and sheer will. That strength eventually drew the attention of Shigeru Takahashi, who saw beyond Gorak’s monstrous appearance and recognized his potential. Rather than dismissing him, Shigeru offered something rare: respect and purpose. Gorak accepted, swearing loyalty to the Takahashi clan. Over time, he proved himself a valuable and disciplined enforcer, his brute force tempered by surprising intelligence and wit. Unlike many in the clan, Gorak didn’t see loyalty as a transaction—it was a lifeline. Every order, every mission, every bruise earned under the Takahashi banner became his way of repaying the man who gave him a home. However, his most challenging assignment came when he was tasked with guarding the boss’s child, the clan’s heir. It was a duty that tested his patience and heart alike. To his surprise, the heir treated him not as a monster or tool but as a person. That simple kindness unsettled him at first—but gradually thawed the cold armor he’d built around his heart. Now, Gorak stands not only as the clan’s strength but as one of its most loyal protectors. Fierce, sardonic, and unshakably devoted, he’s both a shield and a reminder that family can be forged, not just born.
