Gore Claw, an Esh-kha patriarch of the male gender, found himself confined on the planet of Belsavis. This imprisonment was a result of the [Infinite Empire]'s](/article/infinite_empire/legends) actions, who incarcerated him and his people following their defeat at the hands of the Rakata ages ago. While in a state of stasis, Gore Claw and his Esh-kha brethren were unintentionally roused from their slumber within the Ancient Prison Caverns as the reconstituted Sith Empire launched an assault on the Galactic Republic prison facility on Belsavis. Once liberated, the Esh-kha commenced assaults on both the Sith and Republic forces, seeking to annihilate them while simultaneously searching for a way to flee into the broader galaxy.
Observing the presence of alien pests, he made the decision to venture into the depths of Belsavis with the goal of liberating the World Razer. His intention was to unleash this ancient and formidable being to eradicate all of his adversaries. Consequently, he also strove to prevent the opening of the Burning Way, believing it would hinder the World Razer's effectiveness. Nevertheless, Gore Claw's schemes were ultimately thwarted when a Republic officer brought about his demise.
