Background
Karzagdush, a great warlord despite his considerable age, anticipated the day in which Murag would slay him in single combat and become chieftain with great pride. He saw Ghorakh as weak and unworthy, and had few expectations for him. Ghorakh came to serve Morkhaan Yol as blacksmith following the death of Karzagdush's second wife, a role in which he found contentment, despite failing to earn the respect of his father or clan.

Ghorakh, lacking the bloodlust and warlike nature typical of tribal Orcs, was more interested in the art of weaponcraft and the science of metalurgy. He was fascinated by the, as well as the many legendary forges said to exist in Skyrim. Despite this, he was not without skill in battle, and believed that the measure of a weapon was ultimately found in wake of the warrior wielding it. However, in the shadow of Murag, he preferred crafting weapons to using them.

When the miners of the Morkhaan Yol uncovered the tomb of Nahkriin, they were overrun by the aggressive and territorial. As their warriors were cut down one by one, Ghorakh took up his axe to defend the stronghold, in hopes of showing his worth as a warrior.

Interactions
After witnessing the resurrection of Vuljotnaak during Resurrect at Great Henge, the Blades split up, with Esbern, Fultheim, and the Dragonborn following Alduin to the Morkhaan Yal. There, they find many dead draugr and Orcs. Karzagdush informs him that the last of their warriors have gone into the mines to keep the draugr from escaping, initiating ''Resurrection at Morkhaan Yol. ''

The Dragonborn, Esbern, and Fultheim enter the mine, where they find Ghorakh, Murag, Duluk, and Yatur at the entrance of a Nordic barrow. They enter together, fight through many draugr, and come upon a large chamber deep within the mountain, where draugr are unearthing the burial mound of Krolahvuuth. Alduin enters through a crevice at the top of the chamber and resurrects the dragon.

The Orcs debate their next course of action. Ghorakh urges caution, to which Esbern and Fultheim agree. However, Murag calls them weak, and orders Duluk and Yatur to fire their bows upon the dragons. Alduin mocks them, and taunts the Dragonborn. Krolahvuuth orders the draugr to attack. Alduin shouts, causing to tomb to collapse.

Murag orders the Orcs to stand and fight. Duluk and Yatur fall, and the Blades call for a retreat. Murag tells Ghorakh to go, realizing that his bravado has cost many lives. Ghorakh and the Blades narrowly escape before the tomb collapses.

Upon earning that Murag died fighting while the others retreated, Karzagdush banishes Ghorakh from the stronghold. Disgraced and homeless, Ghorakh joins the Blades' quest to defeat Alduin, hoping to avenge his stronghold and redeem his name.

Personality
Ghorakh is uncharacteristically gentle for an Orc, preferring the art and science of smithing to that of war. He is quiet, humble, and scholarly, and has a strong aptitude for craft beyond smithing, due in part to his fascination with the technology of the Dwemer.

Having been disgraced by his own father and chieftain, Ghorakh comes to see the Blades as his new clan and family. He finds redemption in assisting the Blades in the quest to defeat Alduin.
