* EthnicGod: Unusually for orcs, he considers ''Trinimac'', the aedra worshipped by the Aldmer who would ''become'' orcs, to be the proper orsimer god. Most orcs worship Malacath because they accept that Malacath and Trinimac are one in the same, the former being the daedric form of the latter after Boethiah [[GodEating got through with him]]. Gortwog believes this to be heretical and instead sees Malacath as an impostor trying to separate the Orsimer from Trinimac, who resisted corruption but remained imprisoned by Boethiah.
