With rarely more than a scowl on his face, no one who knows Gourim would call him friendly or kind.  Obsessed with the occult and studying rituals of power, very little of his time is wasted.  Those who are less than friendly with him have given him the nickname "the old goat" due to his grumpy nature.

Amnesia causes him great stress, and it often leaves him searching for answers to his past.  Small memories haunt him and he struggles with anger management due to this.  The search for power consumes him, and his goal is to ascend to godhood.

While he is often very harsh, he has a softer side as well.  It comes out occasionally when dealing with his treat companion, Zuma.  If others are able to break down his thick walls, they can be sure to find a caring and almost fatherly figure beneath.  He will go to long lengths to complain about being bothered, but secretly loves having people around him.  Protecting weaker beings pleases him to no end.
