==Gameplay==
== Description ==
There are many ways to interact with Enver Gortash during the events of Act Three. While Enver Gortash is a neutral or allied entity, the player can start conversations with him at many opportunities. It is also possible for Gortash to become hostile, if provoked in certain conversations or deliberately attacked by players.  
Enver Gortash is cunning and self-assured, noticed as intelligent from a early age. Above all else, Gortash seeks power and progress, often failing to consider the humanity of his actions. Young Gortash is described as needy and troublesome by his parents, though they mistreated him in turn.<ref name="Speak with Dead 1"/>


''Details about his Combat behaviors can be found on: [[Enver Gortash/Combat]]''
Similarly to his patron [[Bane]], Gortash is inclined to work with others when it serves his interests, and will work toward what he believes to be the benefit of his allies. {{ref|"''That thing in your chest made you more powerful than you could ever have dreamed of. I conspired to give you a gift, and you're furious about it.''" - Gortash to [[Karlach]]}}
