Warlord Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter first appeared in the expansion to Dawn of War, Dawn of War: Winter Assault and the Ork Warboss in the campaigns has appeared as Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter ever since, presumably he either conquers everything in his path or escapes before he's killed in the battle. As an Ork Gorgutz is quite craftly and always has an escape plan in case his WAAAGH!s get stomped and has a fascination for heads and for an Ork he has a morbid sense of humour as he finds it funny when another Ork is eaten by a Squiggoth, and also doesn't like flattery. He is armoured by a cyborg body and has a number of weapons to kill his enemies with, including his horns, claws and arm mounted machine gun.
In Dawn of War: Winter Assault Gorgutz became known as 'Ead 'Unter because of a tendancy to stick the heads of his enemies upon " 'is pointy stik' ". On Lorn V Gorgutz started his conquest by breaking all the Ork Clans and showing them that he was the biggest and the meanest. In the canon ending Gorgutz takes the Chaos Lord Crull's head and puts it on his pointy stik which joins General Sturnn's own head and then escaped Lorn V looking for more enemies to kill.
In Dawn of War: Dark Crusade Gorgutz crash landed on Kronus and quickly set about beating his leadership into the local Feral Orks, creating his second WAAAGH!. When the Orks wipe the Tau out Gorgutz is annoyed at his Boyz for being unable to bring him back the commanders 'ead for his pointy stik and kills them himself for their failure. It's known that he killed many Eldar, Necrons and Chaos Space Marines during this time as canon, and more if you play as Orks in the Campaign.
Finally in Dawn of War: Soulstorm Gorgutz crashed on Kaurava II sometime after his (canon) defeat on Kronus where he raises his third WAAAGH!. If Gorgutz' WAAAGH! is successful then he takes control of the Kaurava system with his Ko-Ruvvan Boyz and gains the resources to prepare a new WAAAGH! on another system or planet, however if Gorgutz loses at Kaurava then he escapes for a third time and presumably beats his leadership into more Orks elsewhere to start another WAAAGH!.
