Gortash was an expert manipulator and cunning individual, having demonstrated exceptional intelligence from a young age. He was however extremely hateful, so much so that even his own mother wanted little to do with him. He viewed others only for the value they could offer him, whether as allies or pawns to be manipulated. His work in politics and espionage are ruthless and unparalleled, and somehow he has taken interest in a particular person, using his skills simply to antagonize them.
