Gourgh grew up in the Naahaogo <\/a>society deep in the hills, in which adolescents are forced to fight to assert their position in the tribe. Every year, on the summer solstice, a competition of strength and physical prowess is held to establish the pecking order. Only the top half are allowed to remain in the tribe, and in the 17th year of his birth, Gourgh was narrowly beaten out for a place as an adult in the tribe by his good friend. Because of his fond feelings for his friend, he was unable to bring himself to exact revenge, which would have allowed him to return to society.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Exiled from his homeland, he wanders the forests and hills in anguish, searching for adventure to make his name for himself, and for peace and a new home.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gourgh\u2019s powers are defined by his humility. Considered a failure by his society\u2019s terms, he has embraced the monk\u2019s way of life, channeling his psionic energy into a new way of being. He has taken on a new surname, and now goes by Gourgh Do-Au.<\/p>\n
