The Gurkha Master is an enemy in the Castlevania series. He is one of the Giant brothers; an armored warrior who wields a gurkha knife.
Origins
Edit
The Gurkhas are the soldiers of Nepali nationality, recruited by several countries and war zones around the world. The name may be traced to the medieval Hindu warrior-saint, Guru Gorakhnath, who has a historic shrine in Gorkha.
Ethnically, Gurung, Chhetri, Thakuri, and Magar mainly were the Gorkha tribes who united erstwhile Gorkha kingdom and fought against the British invasions. There is no ethnicity-based restriction to join.
Gurkhas are closely associated with the khukuri, a forward-curving Nepalese knife, and have a well known reputation for fearless military prowess.
DescriptionEdit
The Gurkha Master is one of the Giant brothers, a tall and thin armored knight who wields a gurkha knife. He either attacks by throwing the knife swirling forward, which then returns to him like a boomerang, or by lunging with the blade extended.
