Gosta Dirk was a warrior born on Kusho, on the plane of Dominaria.[1]
Description
Gosta Dirk was a huge man with a thick mane of white hair and an even thicker white beard. His long, sharp nose jutted angrily out of the cloud of hair. He carried a curved chopping sword and a round wooden shield.[2]
He was the man around which the inhabitants of Kusho gathered in times of crisis. He was a very strong man, but his physical strength was more than matched by his magical abilities, which he could use to summon tidal waves or powerful storms to protect Kusho from invaders.
History
Gosta was the valiant defender of his family when pirates attacked his shores.[3]
Kusho didn't have a single ruler, but when the island was in peril, its tribes would follow the strongest tribal leader. During Madara-Edemi War, 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 allied with Kasimir the Lone Wolf, its strongest warrior.
Gosta fought valiantly against the kentsu invaders but fell ill after Ramses Overdark had Halfdane poison Kusho's mana lines. With the help of Ayesha Tanaka and Lord Magnus, Kusho was liberated and cleansed.
Presumably, Gosta joined Caleria's campaign to demand reparations from Madara afterward.
