Legend

this Dark Jedi, along with his "twin" Pic, was a member of the group led by Jerec. Gorc was a huge beast, standing more than two meters in height, and was heavily muscled. However, Gorc was slow-witted and slow to move, and relied on his twin's distractive techniques to grab at unsuspecting opponents. Gorc began life as a normal Gamorrean boar, but his older brother Thok betrayed him to the Empire. Once in Imperial custody, Gorc was chosen by Blackhole to became one of his test subjects. Gorc was paired with the Kowakian monkey-lizard known as Picaroon C. Boodle, but who eventually became simply Pic. Their obvious differences in size and intelligence were melded by Blackhole's alchemies, until the two beings were so deeply linked by the Dark Side of the Force that they were almost undefeatable when working together. However, this bond ran very deep, and any wounds felt by one were felt equally by the other. Gorc adopted the role of the "younger sibling", since his slow-witted brain often led him astray. Despite his seeming lack of intelligence, Gorc was a master craftsbeing, and made Pic a miniature suit of Dark Side-tainted M'uhk'gfa armor. Gorc and Pic were defeated on the Sulon Star by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. Although the pair - known to themselves as the Brothers of the Sith - held the element of surprise, Katarn was able to shoot Gorc in the face with a blaster, literally burning out the Gamorrean's brain. Gorc's death was instantaneous, and sent Pic into a frenzy that ended when Katarn smashed in his skull with 8t88's disconnected head.
