Gourdy is part of .cursed.dead Kickstarter. This is one of the "basic" sets and comes with an alternate skull portrait, and two extra sets of hands. Check out this bio:
"Gordon Bassett was a weird kid - a good kid, but weird, and the other children in town wouldn’t let him forget it. For generations, the Bassett family owned a large farm on the edge of town, but what they were really known for was their pumpkin patch. There wasn’t a man or woman in Chambless who hadn’t been going to the Bassett Ranch pumpkin patch every October since they were kids. To be a Bassett was to be local royalty, and if you’re a boy like Gordon Bassett, that is the last thing you want.
"One Halloween, some of the local kids decided to skip the treats and get their tricks out on Gordon. The more he resisted them, the more cruel and violent the abuse became until they finally went too far… Gordon Basset was dead. The family was devastated, the grounds were salted with their tears, and their prayers for justice hung heavily in the air. The funeral was small, held at the family plot on the far edge of the farm.
"Something happens when you work a field: the plants get to know you, they depend on you, as you come to depend on them. Maybe that’s what drew the roots from that pumpkin patch through the soil and into Gordon's coffin, wrapping around his co**se, the vines twisting their way into his limbs...
"Now, every Halloween in Chambless, when the veil is at its thinnest, wicked ol' Gourdy returns to harvest his vengeance." And every cruel child he kills, he gains an additional face.
