This once beautiful aristocratic strigoï vampire during the flourishing era of Strigos, escaped from the butchering Orcs during the siege of Mourkain, fleeing with his father after seeing his mother being butchered by a brutish black orc big boss.
In an attempt to muster an army to recapture their capital, both vampires travelled to the north, into the realm of the Von Carsteins. Alas, the Von Carsteins still remembered the curse Ushoran of Strigos once spoke upon all other vampire blood lines, so Gargaroth also witnessed his father ending up with a silver stake through his heart. Young Gargaroth managed to escape again, but the death of both his parents was too much for him. He trusted nobody anymore, and while time past his hatred towards all living or dead grew.
As many of the Strigoï vampires, he survived by eating the rotting corpses of the freshly buried, fleeing from one hunting party after another everywhere he stayed too long. One cannot tell what this cocktail of madness would do to the living, but to Gargaroth, it meant his body slowly transformed from a beautiful aristocrat into a beast. His once nicely manicured hands turned into claws with razor sharp nails, his once hairless body covered up in bestial fur, and he developed bony spikes on his back and on top of his head.
Restlessly travelling during night-time for several centuries, he finally ended up near Moussillon, where he stumbled across a pack of other creatures, also with a certain passion of eating rotten corpses. Out of the last sparkle of curiosity still residing in his brain, he decided to observe and follow this pack of ghouls. He learned he was not the only one being tracked down, and when a group of witch hunters charged the ghouls, his mind took on a rage and he swirled himself into the fray, growing in size and bestiality. Needless to say, the human trackers were no match for Gargaroth, and he slaughtered them to the man. In the ensuing moment the ghouls dropped at Gargaroths feet to worship him as their new leader.
Pure coincidentally, this group of ghouls happened to be the one that encountered Heinrich Blechbecher. Both Gargaroth and Heinrich saw each others powers, and being equally strong, they silently agreed the only way to survive was to cooperate. This is why both nightly characters were seen together on battlefields not so long ago …
