He wears a dark magenta and navy blue-colored haori coat with billowing sleeves and gold lining and a white fur collar and cravat, black hakama pants with gold lining, and brown sandals. He also wears a metal breastplate held with a leather belt and metal shoulderpads on his coat. Goresby-Purrvis's weapon of choice is a long katana with a black guard and a dark red grip.

Story

Goresby-Purrvis is one of the Triumgorate that serves the House of Gitt. Though loyal to King Godwyn, he still considers the hero to be a worthy opponent. After Corvus was freed from his shackles and ascended to the Realm of the Almighty, he revived the Triumgorate to guard his new stronghold. Though he held no loyalty to Corvus, he was willing to battle the hero again.

Later, after the spirit of King Godfrey emerged from the Quarantomb, Gorseby-Purrvis' ghost returned to Gittingham Palace and asked the hero to put the former king's spirit to rest. After that, Purrvis presented a pallium regale and several alchemy recipes as a reward.
