Public Reputation: Mostly hidden from public but when he's allowed out off the ship he's a big, loud and brash Ork with a taste for fine alcohol and bigger guns.
Ship-board Reputation: On board the ship, Gorbaz keeps the crew in line and acts as a liason between the officers and common crew. As a Blood Axe, he does his best to look after the crew members that work hard but will, often literally, stamp down hard on any insurrections on board. Respected by the older crew and feared by the newer, he does his job well.

Background

Born/emerged on a backwater planet newly taken from the Imperium of Man, Gorbaz quickly shot, stabbed and punched his way through the ranks of his Klan and eventually ended up joining an Ork Freebooter mob called Wazza's Thievin' Gitz aboard the good ship 'Eadshot. Plunder and murder and fighting were abundant and Gorbaz quickly made himself a name as one of the more violent and crafty Orks aboard, learning to hide himself in the dark places of the ship and jump anyone that challenged his position.

Born with an innate ability to pilot spacecraft, Gorbaz was chosen by Wazza to fly over some of the Boyz to attack a lone Humie ship that was travelling through some quiet shipping lanes. During the attack on the ship, one of the Boyz broke something important and the Humie ship fell into the warp without it's Geller fields. Warp entities quickly poured aboard and started killing everything.

While the fight was fun and all, Gorbaz quickly realised that him and his Boyz were dead soon if something wasn't done quickly, so after being approached by one of the Humies that could talk Orkish a deal was struck and Gorbaz and his remaining Boyz helped the little pink things fight off the daemons on the ship, though Gorbaz was the lone survivor of his crew.

After mangling a horde of warp gribblies and helping save the Humie ship, Gorbaz found himself stranded and alone. Being a Blood Axe though, this wasn't too much of a problem and he quick set about using his know-watz about Humies and managed to get himself a position as Chief Boatswain, mostly by being bigger and much, much more frightening than the other Humies that wanted the job.

Gorbaz only challenged the Rogue Trader once, and through a mixture of guile and guts he was beaten in combat and now accepts Lord-Captain York as his new Boss without question.

Aquiring a reputation amongst the older crew as a brutal fighter and a tough taskmaster but not unfair with his punishment. Among the younger crew he is a figure of fear and awe, a massive greenskinned brute that will stomp out insurrection and rebellion quickly and brutally.
