Gorgon Hammerstone is the high-master of the Emperor's own Honor Guard, and is respectfully feared throughout the Empire. He is an indomitable fighting machine -- massive, quick, and nearly unkillable. With arms powerful enough to lift a war-horse and rip it in half, he shuns weapons for the sheer glory of tearing his opponents apart with his bare hands. Gorgon belongs to no clan. Believed to be part Ogre, he is master of his own keep-where, after days of ruthless battle and bloodshed, the end of the Contest will take place. With or without him.
