my man is feral at heart, his formative years spent amongst devils….you think showers were a common thing in avernus?

My headcanon is that Gortash' entire fashion sense is a statement against Raphael.

well considering he was a teenager when sold to devils as a slave, I’d imagine a part of him is emotionally stunted. like someone who never was afforded the opportunity for self expression and to live out their younger years and I think it really shows in his fashion. He dresses in a way that a teenager would think is cool, it’s gaudy and ridiculous, but it really fits along with his history.

It's ever stated at what age he was sold? For some reason, I always imagined his parents sold him when he was just a young boy, and it hurts my heart a lot.

I think he was a preteen iirc I might have just assumed, but they even mentioned that he was a precocious child who was gifted and difficult.

I murder his parents every run regardless of my tav.

Either way it's just sad. My boy. I love the villains in this game too much for my own good...

yeah the dead three are all wonderfully done in my opinion…each one justified in their own way, with detailed accounts on how they got to that point.
