He and [[Lindsey Baron\|Lindsey]] had become lovers in earnest after they retired from the Watchmen, but her transformation into a Vampire really broke his heart. Even as he tried desperately to find some way to save her, events spiraled out of control, and the Lindsey he knew is long gone. His friends are very worried he might do something foolish out of love, and he's since become quite obsessed with finding her, letting his duties as Sheriff laguish as a result.

Gortuck a.k.a. "Sherlock"

CN Male Half-Orc

Rogue 3/Master Inquisitive 3

This wily Half-Orc orphan grew up in the slums of Sharn, quickly learning to use the preconceptions of others to his advantage. Observant and intelligent, he relied on his wits to survive, either out-talking any threats or pretending to be too dumb to take responsibility.

In his teenage years, he was able to wander the streets of Sharn proper, marvelling at the towers, soarsleds, and other sights taken for granted there but rarely seen in the poor districts. It was here that he tripped over a book, worn with age and slightly damp. A tale about the exploits of the world famous Master Inquisitive Sherlock Holmes.

Gortuck marvelled at this man, someone so brilliant that he could solve nigh impossible cases with clues almost imperceptible to the normal man, and with minimal, or even non-existent, use of force. Gortuck read and reread the book till the binding fell to pieces, knowing that that's who he wanted to be.

Now, fifteen years later, he has earned a nickname based on that inspiring character. "Sherlock" is the group's brain and usually the voice of reason. Not to mention the wise ass. Hints and stories picked up through his contacts and through trips to the local tavers help him determine locations most likely to have what they're looking for at the time. He admires [[Thelia Vulpes|Thelia]]'s observant nature and [[Lindsey Baron|Lindsey]]'s brilliance, engaging them or travellers in hours long conversations about whatever topic comes to mind. He considers the Mourning, being one of the greatest mysteries of all time, the ultimate test of his abilities.
