Gotrek Gurnisson is the bi-protagonist of the Warhammer Fantasy novel series Gotrek & Felix.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Easily recognizable by his gaudy mohawk, Gurnisson is a 'Slayer' - a loose sect of dwarven warriors whose past shortcomings have brought such profound shame upon them that their only way to regain their honor is by death in glorious combat. Except in Gotrek's case, fate stubbornly refuses to let him have that absolution. No matter how deadly his foes are, Gotrek always comes out victorious and very much alive - to his immense annoyance.
Gotrek is almost always accompanied by Felix Jaeger - a human poet from the Empire. The dwarf saved his life after a tax riot (which Felix may or may not have helped to incite) went a bit wild, and in return, Felix has sworn to accompany the Slayer until he finally meets his heroic demise. Felix presumably thought this would only be a short-term assignment, but to be fair, so did Gotrek.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Gotrek fought in the tag-team-themed 8chanmania XXXI, where he unsurprisingly was partnered up with Felix. The two took on Fire Emblem's Camilla and Tharja, who humiliated him by making fun of his height and then not even bothering to kill him after the match was done.
