He also holds a high sense of honor, a trait very similar to his father.

Biography
Nine months before Go'kill's birth, the orcs and goblins of The Orcish Horde raided and destroyed Jehanna, High Rock. Though to the suprise of his mother, Killeath, an orc that called himself "Go'irsk" saved her life from a mass execution by the Orcish Horde. They both fell in love with eachother and shared a tent. Go'irsk left, unknowingly impregnanting Killeath.

Go'kill was born to Killeath in the war-torn city of Jehanna with light purple eyes and dark blue hair, he looked like a breton but with more orcish looking ears, to the relief of Killeath, out of fear he would be killed for being a halfling.

Though, his childhood with Killeath was shortlived as when he was five years old, Jehanna was raided once again by Barbarians from the northern mountains. Killeath was stabbed by a sword to the stomach while defending Go'kill. She was able to kill the invaders but fell, the last thing she ever did was rub the crying Go'kill's cheek and comfort him.

Deciding he didn't want to be drafted as a child-soldier in the High Rock armies or be an orphan in an Daggerfall Orphanage, he ran towards the border of Skyrim. He made it across the border and ended up in The Reach.

He followed the street-signs towards Whiterun, the only Skyrim city he has ever heard of. He was stopped by a group of Forsworn, who tied him up and dragged him towards their camp, until a tall muscular man with a pompadour and a light chin beard. He was donning a Thieves Guild uniform, with white cloth sleeves and two strange swords in his hands, stopped the group of Forsworn that had Go'kill captive.

A fight ensued, the man killed all of the Forsworn and cut Go'kill loose, Go'kill quickly fell into his arms and began crying, no words were traded but the man knew that Go'kill needed safety. The man whistled as a massive white steed ran to them, The man sat on the horse and took Go'kill into his arm as they rode towards The Rift. Go'kill couldn't see the man's face past his lower nose because of the pompadour he had, causing a shadow on his eyes up to his eyebrows, he fell asleep looking at the man's pompadour.

Go'kill woke up in a bed inside an unknown home, expecting the man to walk around the corner it was instead another man, who introduced himself as 'Brynjolf' and said he was left at his door. Go'kill began styling his hair like his savior at age seven. This is also the age he met his childhood friend Ingun Black-Briar.

Inbetween the ages of seven and eleven he offically joined The Thieves Guild. He learned how to sneak, lockpick and pickpocket from his adoptive father Brynjolf. He was then taught how to shoot a bow, use a sword and how to block from other members of The Thieves Guild. Brynjolf's adoptive protègè was a fast learner and becoming a natural-born thief.

At age fourteen he accidently found out he can use Thu'um naturally, many whispers in The Thieves Guild said he was Dragonborn but these rumors were shut down by Mercer and Brynjolf. His jobs went from minor pickpocketing and horse thievery to full home invasions and heists. At age sixteen he was given his first dagger from Brynjolf, a pure gold elven dagger.

Go'kill would turn Seventeen and be given a job to intimidate shopkeepers around Riften for not paying the Thieves Guild protection money, which were all sucessful and Go'kill offically made a name for himself. He would later be given a huge job, even the most talented thief, Vex, couldn't complete. To infiltrate Honeyglow Estate, Go'kill needed to be on top of his game and he asked advice from Vex, who told him of a sewer.

Go'kill successfully raided the Estate and got the information the guild needed before going back to Riften and beginning his journey as Dragonborn and one of the most notorious figures in the Riften Crime-World.

Death
After almost eight years of being one of the biggest Skooma producers in Skyrim, Go'kill's luck would end. The partners he made along his journey of running a Skooma Drug-Ring would become dangerous, targetting Go'kill's wife and daughter as 'Loose Ends' and they believed they were making Go'kill soft and not eligable for the business. Go'kill realized this while in a meeting with Da'rhakaz. He quickly rushed to his home in Riften and found a hitman already inside the home, Go'kill shot him in the back of the head with a flintlock and yelled for Ingun and Powder to get the hatch he installed to the Ratway open. Ingun tried to question what was happening and who the man was he killed but he said just to focus on the hatch. Go'kill blocked the door with a wardrobe and went with his family to the Ratway.

More hitmen would arrive at his home and attempt to open the door but find it blocked, so they eventually used an explosive arrow, destroying the frame and door of the home. They rushed inside and seen the dead hitman, realizing Go'kill found out, now they would have to kill him too. They searched the house and found the hatch, the leader of the hitmen yelling for them to get into the Ratway and to cover it. The leader went down the hatch and followed.

Go'kill and his family would be rushing through the Ratway, he had his flintlock in his hand, ready. Ingun kept demanding to know what was going on and Powder was crying at the sudden running, Go'kill kept refusing to tell them and kept saying to keep going.

The hitman leader kept following the tunnels and eventually heard Go'kill, Ingun and Powder's voices, he creeped on them and found them arguing amongst each other, the hitman took the oppurtunity and attacked, shooting Go'kill's shoulder with a crossbow and pulling out a sword. Go'kill stumbled backwards from the bolt but it didn't phase him beyond that, he leaped infront of Ingun and Powder and took the sword to his side, he yelled in pain and his orcish Bloodlust began. He broke the sword in half and punched the hitman backwards, breaking his nose instantly. While the hitman was dazed, Go'kill shot him in the chest with his flintlock and then tackled him, quite literally beating the Hitman to death with the flintlock. Ingun looked in horror as Powder hid behind her, terrifyed of what her father did.

Go'kill ripped the sword piece in his side out and sat on his knees, breathing heavily. Ingun put her hand on Go'kill's shoulder and he looked back, his bloodlust ending as he seen his wife. He stood up and held his side and his flintlock in the other hand, saying they need to keep moving. Go'kill hid the severity of his wound so he can protect his family.

They kept heading through the tunnels and Go'kill would be forced to fight through multiple hitmen, his wounds ranging from crossbow bolts, swords and eventually a punctured leg wound. They reached the exit and Go'kill was bleeding from his head, nose and mouth, Ingun now having to help him walk. He lead them to a Thieves Guild supply drop that would go to Cyrodill.

"Just go up to them and say you're with Go'kill..you can join them to Cyrodill..Skyrim isn't safe." Go'kill said, his wound in his side from the sword bleeding even more, his skin now ghostly pale and his lips now being purple. Ingun rubbed his bloody cheek and began tearing up "What about you?" She said, Powder began crying again.

He looked at Powder and kneeled down, lifting her chin up with his finger and gently said "Remember what Uncle Hurk said..What he told me?" Powder sniffled and rubbed her eyes "E-every sunset must dawn again." Go'kill smiled and nodded, "Don't forget that". Ingun spoke inbetween tears "Go'kill..what about you?" He looked back "Don't worry about me..I'll catch up." He limped over to her and hugged her, he helped Powder and Ingun into the carriage. It rode away and Go'kill collapsed on the hillside, looking at the bright blue sky, a light smile on his face, happy that his daughter remembered the phrase and happy they escaped. His last thoughts were of Ingun, Powder and of Rai'kisha. He would succumb to blood-loss from the various wounds across his body.

The Thieves Guild found his body and had him returned and buried in his own plot in The Riften Graveyard. Due to Ingun's family and connection to the Thieves Guild, she would find out he has passed away.
