Gormo is a young Hutt, and is an anomaly among most of his species. Gormo, from a young age, learned to take great joy in personal combat. Gormo loves to fight. He is not a sadist, however, and in fact Gormo finds the idea of taking another life repugnant on both moral and practical grounds (a dead man is a lost customer). Gormo is a fast friend to those around him, and is quick to try impressing others with his physical ability. Because of all this, Gormo has been mostly outcast from his family, although he is afforded the basic protections that a Hutt of his station would enjoy. Gormo takes his status mostly for granted, and in true Hutt fashion has mostly learned to get what he wants through lying and intimidating people. Gormo's intimidating presence should not be confused for anger, however. Rather, Gormo sees his actions as simply a means to an end, without strong emotional attachment.

Gormo also has not fully realized that he is an active user of the Force, and is just as likely to attribute his intimidating presence or imposing physique on his own ability as to attribute it to the Force. However, Gormo has recently met an individual more familiar with the Force, who were able to identify Gormo's ability. Sensing Gormo's ability, this individual was able to guide him to recognizing the potential of training in the Force. Gormo has improved his ability with the force with the aid of this individual.

Up until recently, Gormo spent most of his time in Gladiator arenas, fighting others for sport. Recently, however, Gormo has met with other Force Users, and has come upon an idea. Seeing a demand in the market, Gormo has decided that he wants to open up a For-Profit Secret Force Academy. Gormo's enthusiasm for this idea has blinded him to the many risks he would be taking, but by using his winnings from the arenas and unknown aid from sympathetic Hutts, Gormo has been able to partner with some like-minded individuals to carve out their own homestead that they hope to one day operate as an academy. While Gormo and his partners may not agree on the details of how the academy will be run, he has seen them worthy of a high level of trust as equals in this enterprise.

Gormo's Motivation is his Ambition for Glory. Gormo wants to be recognized by everyone he meets as a great and formidable warrior. He believes that the best way to earn respect is by showcasing physical prowess, and he wishes to hone his own to the fullest extent possible. Gormo seeks out opportunities to showcase his abilities, and sees his ability with the Force as him being chosen for greatness. Gormo loves showing off, and longs for recognition.

Gormo has all of the hallmarks of a typical young adult Hutt. His skin is bronze-colored, mostly-smooth, and he has large bulbous eyes. Gormo's distinguishing feature, at least among Hutts, is his unusually long set of arms. These arms allow Gormo to be much more adept at grappling in close combat.
