King Gorbak's son, Goro, was returned to the Shokan kingdom of Kuatan by Kotal Kahn after the emperor defeated Goro and humiliated him by cutting his arms off and sparing him from death. Though Kotal had expected Gorbak to execute Goro for this based on the Shokan's principles of honor, he underestimated the father's love for his son. Gorbak's body was thrown to the Shokan, who retreated with their king's corpse. Upon their return to Kuatan, Gorbak's body was wrapped in bandages and ceremonially cremated.
