Ghimgul was a pirate. He was a damn good pirate. His captain however got drunk and wrecked their ship. Ghimgul spent the rest of his life being a land pirate working as a highwaymen and a paid assassin. Ghimgul was a bit insane. Money was his only love...and he loved it...too much. He literally worshipped it. Ghimgul had an insane notion that money was god, literally. He wanted to take all the money in the world and pile it into one place. A really clean place where he could worship it and shine it and listen to it clink together. He thought that if he got it all together his god...well to be honest, ghimgul had no idea what would happen but he was driven by a compulsive disorder to get it all in one place..namely his pockets.

He also hated dirt and loved [REDACTED]...often...but not as much as he loved money. [REDACTED] would be a close second. Okay a distant second but compared to everything else in the world, thats close.

matter of fact some of the last words out of ghimgul's ghostly mouth were

yell ah need a dead hooker!

What more can I say? I had a blast playing him.

I remember Ghimgul from waaay back, I think. I also ran by him without knowing it today. Didn't know it was him, or that he was on his last legs...

GHIMGUL!!!

OH NOEZ? WHY?

This insane bastard was as much an asset as he was a headache.
I could never tell if him being on my team, neutral or against me was a good or bad thing. What a backstabbedy, money-gettin' madman.

I really liked Ghimgul, probably because it was easy to get on his good side. Find a way to get some coin in his hands and he was all yours... At least until someone payed more. Despite the fact that you were age ticked, I felt pretty accomplished when I beat you in the heroes dual. It's too bad I didn't know who the hell Avice was at the time and had some pretty lack-luster insults.

Ghimgul was a guy that was clearly hated, loved, feared, respected, and disdained by many. I look forward to whatever you create next.

Good luck and double if it's a darkie,

-Randy (Aliquada)

I loved the character. Though it seems you've started a concept that I've been working on without knowing it even way back when I first met him. For that I am glad to know that it can work.

Now the best part about the man was he was unreliably reliable. And I mean that simply for the fact that I financed an entire one man war through him and enjoyed every last second of it.


Cheers Canny. Roll something new we need more heroes to look up to.

Why did I never realize you were Ghimgul? Geez. Awesome char!!!

Ghimgul was great, two bonuses for the char, given that we had very few interactions. The fact that he was willing to help my rather rude newbie and his brother(a true newbie who was quite impressed by your RP) The other, that you put RP over PK when you met my paladin and begged for some gold, (starving children for the win!) I had forgotten to load detect aura at the time and your plea was convincing for him to give you his last gold (gold that I had gathered just so I could repair my armor).
Overall a very good char, as it is to be expected. Looking forward to your next.

You have rocked SK since Mordanzibel, the game won't be the same without you.

Lord of the Rings Online is going to get boring soon!

He tricked Vylkes into dying to the deep-elves in Teron the night of the Roaring Lion's fire. That's what ended up making her seek the Hammer. I was a little miffed about it when it happened. Ghimgul was such a bastard. Thuban was laughing his [REDACTED] off at me later. I wish I saw more. Good show, memorable character.
