Gotrek is a dwarf who once did a terrible deed that cast shame upon his family or clan. He left to become a slayer seeking an honourable death at the hands of monsters or other dangerous creatures. Gortek has been so successful (or unsuccesfull if you are him) that he has now been adventuring for nearly 150 years without meeting his long awaited heroic ending. Gotrek has the typical appearance of Dwarven Slayer: heavily muscled and tattooed with a beard and hair in a coloured mohawk. He is missing an eye which was lost in a battle with goblins and favours a heavy axe as a weapon.
