Gogh is a Goblin hunter and an apparent champion of the Daedric Prince Hircine. He was part of a Cyrodiilic Goblin tribe that originally resided near Bruma, possibly the Three Feather Tribe. Circa 4E 201, his tribe migrated out of Cyrodiil using subterranean tunnels beneath the Jerall Mountains. They emerged into the Rift in Skyrim and took up occupation of a cave known as Gromm's Pass. At some point he obtained the Spear of Bitter Mercy, presumably a gift from Hircine himself, as those who tried to to take the spear from him seemed to be rejected by the weapon, as they found it impossible to lift. Gogh was also fiercely protective of the weapon.

His tribe subsequently encountered a helpless Orc from the nearby stronghold of Largashbur, who happened to be stained blue by the Steel Blue Entoloma mushrooms which grow in abundance within Gromm's Pass. Most of the tribe believed him to be the Blue God, an aspect of Malacath worshipped by goblins, the tribe quickly made him their shaman and began to obey him as their god. However, the tunnel to Cyrodiil collapsed soon after, cutting the tribe off from any reinforcements. Gogh then spotted the Orcish shaman applying blue dye to maintain his appearance and was thus sentenced by the Orc to death in a gladiatorial pit, the rest of the tribe defended the Orc not knowing this. Gogh was able to successfully defend himself for a time, but the Last Dragonborn, who had heard rumors of Goblins in Skyrim, eventually saved Gogh from the pit by killing the Orc and his remaining goblin followers. Gogh, despite the language barrier, entered into the Dragonborn's service and continued to wield the Spear and its powers in battle.
