Cruel, sadistic, and violent - the space pirate Gorvak was feared and hated by all who knew his name. Even his crew dreaded his presence, and many died at his hands when he flew into a fit of demented rage. Gorvak's criminal career rose from simple thief to one of the most wanted when he lead the extermination of the native inhabitants of Neptune's Grax Mountains. With the genocide complete, Gorvak claimed the Mountains as his lair.
It would be here that he would gain the attention of the peacekeeping agent Spacehawk.
