Gosta Dirk

Gosta Dirk was the man around which the inhabitants of Kusho gathered in times of crisis. He was very strong man, but his phisical stregnth was more than matched by his magical abilites, which he could use to summon tidal waves or powerful storms to protect Kusho form invaders.

Kusho doesn't have a single ruler, but when the island is in perril, it's tribes usualy follow the strongest tribe leader. When Lady Caleria roused the Edemi Islands against the Empire of Madara, this person was Gosta, for he was the most powerful mage on the island, and he had made an alliance with Kasimir the Lone Wolf, the strongest warrior on the island.

Gosta fought valliantly against the Kentsu invaders, but fell ill after Ramses Overdark had Halfdane poison Kusho's mana lines. But with the help of Ayesha Tanaka and Lord Magnus Kusho was liberated and cleansed nonetheless.

Presumably Gosta joined Caleria's campaign to demand reparations from Madara afterwards.

In prerevisionist continuity Gosta was the valliant defender of his family when pirates attacked his shores.
