Description
Gorson appeared as a yellow-skinned, hawk-nosed human with black-hued eyes, small horns, a tufted lion-like tail, and black hooves. He wore robes of saffron and wielded a scimitar in battle. His voice was soft and cultured.
Relationships
Gorson was a vassal of Geryon, serving Geryon as his bailiff. Gorson was destroyed after the Reckoning of Hell, as a result of Geryon's demotion, along with Geryon's consort Cozbi and the pit-fiend Fecor.
