First appearance: S2E11 — Secrets — Blaktoof v Zorhel · watch it on YouTube
Gaz was the red goblin holding up the whole operation, quite literally. He was the bottom third of a three-goblin stack hidden inside a trench coat, and together with Gork and Mork he had spent a good while passing himself off as the fearsome warrior Blaktoof. The ruse lasted right up until a blow in the arena split the coat open and revealed the truth in S2E11 — Secrets — Blaktoof v Zorhel.
Story
Gaz, Gork and Mork had been living the good life as Blaktoof. Wearing the great warrior’s name brought them money, fame and free drinks, and plenty of evenings hanging out at rock shows. A trip to the Void to fight to the death was not part of the plan. As the goblins put it, they “didn’t really want to be here, but… kind of got drug into it.”
They entered the arena as Blaktoof to face Zorhel, and the disguise held until a slicing blow came through. Three separate voices shrieked out of Blaktoof’s body, and the goblins burst free as Blaktoof’s clothing fell to the ground. Blaktoof had never been Blaktoof at all: he was three “dumb little goblins” stacked in a coat. Gaz, as the base of the tower, was the one who had been wearing the stinger boot.
Zorhel took the reveal personally. He asked whether Blaktoof’s uncle had ever been real, “because I feel kind of betrayed at this moment.” The goblins could offer little comfort. They didn’t remember their parents at all, and one of them had to ask, “What’s a mom?”
Once split apart, the trio did not last long. Gaz was cut down by Shadowtoof, while Gork fell to Zorhel’s halberd and Mork to a spectral weapon of blood. Each goblin went down spitting a burst of hellfire back at his killer. Afterward, The Arbiter carted the three small bodies off in a wheelbarrow.
Personality and Abilities
Gaz was the red goblin of the three. Their player called him “the tank,” which suited the goblin carrying everyone else’s weight. Gork was green, sat in the middle, and was “the toughest with the sword.” Mork was blue, rode on top, and was “the smart one, I like casting spells.” At the table, the player explained that the three names come from Warhammer’s orc gods.
What the trio shared was a fondness for money, fame and free drinks. They also shared a fiery last word: none of them died without lashing out with hellfire at whoever had just killed them.
