Gort, also known as Bluefist, is an antagonist in Torna ~ The Golden Country. He is a Core Crystal thief who has a history with Lora since he was Rynea's lover. Gort also appeared in flashbacks in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Personality and appearance[edit]
When Gort is first seen in a flashback, he is only wearing jeans. After Jin has severed his right arm during his attempt to kill Lora, Gort wears a small vest with bandages around his waist and cowboy pants, with his right arm replaced by a large blue prosthetic. On his neck, Gort wears a necklace made of four cut human fingerbones, possibly his own.
Gort is driven by malice, with little to no regard for the lives of others. He is even willing to harm a child, evidenced by his attempt to kill the 10-year old Lora just to get Jin's Core Crystal back into a dormant state. His main goal throughout the events of the story is to get revenge on Lora and Jin for the loss of his right arm by making them suffer, frequently speaking about how slowly he wanted to do "the cutting" in gruesome detail. Gort is also clever; aside from being able to pull off stealing Jin in the first place, he knows about Haze's ability to restrict Blades and plans around it by bringing only human mercenaries for his assault.
Story arc[edit]
When a ten-year old Lora awakens Jin from his Core Crystal, he was outraged, raging how expensive the core he stole from the castle was. He then decides to kill Lora to return Jin to his core much to his lover, Rynea's protest. However Jin saves her, severing his right arm in the process, and knocking Gort unconscious.
17 years later, during the Aegis War, Gort works as a Core Crystal broker. He is first seen spying on Lora and the party before recognizing Jin among them. He then contacts an unknown individual through his Blade and reports the destruction of Feltley Village, the Core Crystals that he stole, and Jin's sighting, before he decides to track Lora to get revenge on her.
Knowing about Haze's ability to restrict Blades, Gort and a few hired mercenaries refrained from using them when they ambushed Lora and Haze at Torigoth's cemetery while they are mourning Rynea, cruelly mocking her mother. Gort tells her that he plans to kill her to take Jin's core back before showing off his prosthetic to her. Gort then ordered his henchmen to surround them, but Jin and the party arrive just in time; severing both his last organic arm and his prosthetic one. As Hugo is arresting his henchmen, Lora orders Jin to spare him, fleeing in terror.
As he flees running around Gormott, he falls to the ground and is found by a group of Indoline warriors led by Stannif, who takes him to Indol. Stannif and Amalthus discuss about how Gort would be a good guinea pig to start their experimentations with Blade Eaters.
When Lora, Jin, Haze and Mikhail are around Spessia, Gort appears in front of them with a chimera-like appareance, confirming that the Indoline Praetorium have experimentated with him and the results were poorly. Jin states that Gort has lost his mind. After the battle, Lora deals the final hit and finally kills Gort and ends his pain, Lora assures that her mother can now rest easy.

| Species | Blade Eater |
| Gender | Male |
As a Blade Eater, Gort takes on a mostly monstrous appearance of a hunched-over beast with an incomplete exoskeleton, revealing a lot of muscles. Only his head seems to remain of his human body, placed within the mouth of the base creature and seemingly "wired" in with living tissue. He retains the large blue prosthetic right arm, though this one much larger to match.
The prototype Blade Eater procedure appears to have been a bad time for Gort; he mentions being in constant pain and momentarily loses track of whether he has an arm or not. His bloodlust is unaffected and possibly even worsened.
