He has been abandoned by his mother when he was only a small toddler on the street. His wealthy father was a drunk and his mother wanted to abandon him for another man but the man did not want the child. With a heavy heart she left him there with the deepest regret a mother can have, she did come back, but he was already gone.

Where does Gawck's name come from?

His original name is unknown to him, his mother used to whisper his name. "Farrian"

Gawck's name comes from a bandit who'm kidnapped the abandoned child, Gawck, who bred him to brawl. The name comes from "Hawk" for being one of the fastest animals to strike its target. Gawck is known in the brawling underworld for being an agile fighter who can land many blows on a target in a short moment. Although he is not the strongest he relies on his agility to win. 

Gawck has met Fiontann and Fyria who have offered him something close to a home now with a normal job, but the secrets of the poor district of Bree still haunts him and he's ever angry, a hate for his parents.
