Desmond Lord Gorice

BiographyEdit

Armsmaster Desmond Lord Gorice is the fleet commander of the Knights of Genetic Purity whose disparaging remarks about all those who are not pure Human guarantee that the half-Heavy Worlder Dylan Hunt will not see him as a potential ally. He has the Knights' standard biased views and believes that the Nietzschean Messiah will unite the Prides into an undefeatable force.

As sometimes happens with theoretically opposite ends of extremist beliefs, he bears a considerable resemblance, psychologically, to the Nietzschean Fleet Marshalls seen, particularly Cuchulain Nez Pierce. ("Immaculate Perception")

Desmond is played by David Lovgren.
