About Gloomhaven names

Gloomhaven asks you to name a mercenary the moment you open a character box, and the setting gives each race a distinct sound. Inox are horned nomads, so their names are hard and guttural with clan-style bynames: Kulraag Ironhorn, Szaraska the Unbowed. Quatryl are tiny tinkerers with quick, clicking names and workshop surnames like Flintwhistle or Gearwright. Orchid are long-lived and serene, with flowing vowel-heavy names such as Aethrenne Vastiel. Valrath, the red-skinned traders of the Merchant Lord's circles, carry names in the vein of the canon merchant Jekserah: Zerah Haemon, Lazaar Ibn-Sarrah.

The stranger races follow their own rules. Savvas names are elemental and formal, often with a hard break (Kel'Thar, Vorruhn). Vermling names are short scavenger noises: Skritch, Nibbs, Greel Twitchwhisker. Aesther, the canon example being Hail, take a single quiet word like Rime or Murmur. Harrower swarms use hive titles and clicks (Thryss Hivemother, Kk'tch), Lurkers are guttural and tidal, Frosthaven's Algox sound like frost giants and the Unfettered use designations like Axiom or Cog-Twelve. Humans are grounded, slightly gothic: Marrow Vance, Ottilie Harrowgate.

Many players skip a proper name for a moniker in the Jaws of the Lion style (Hatchet, Red Guard, Sawtooth), and parties need a company name for the campaign sheet, so both are included here.

How to choose Gloomhaven names

  • Pick the race first, then the name: an Inox Brute called Thraxus Bonecleaver and an Orchid Spellweaver called Sayla Ilvane both land because the sound matches the miniature and the lore card in the box.
  • Keep it short enough to say at the table every turn; a two-word name or a one-word moniker like Quickfuse or The Lantern is easier to shout across the map than a four-part title.
  • If your character is a mystery class you have not unlocked yet, choose a moniker or a family name now and add a first name or title when you retire and open the next box.
  • Match your party name to the campaign's tone and geography: Dagger Forest Outcasts, Misty Sea Marauders or The Corpsewood Compact tie the group to the map and make the sticker sheet feel earned.
  • For Frosthaven, lean colder and harsher for Algox (Brumm Frostfather) and more mechanical for Unfettered (Lattice, Unit Seven); the Frosthaven rulebook's character sheets leave room for a name and a title, so consider both.

Frequently asked questions

What are the races in Gloomhaven and how do their names differ?

Gloomhaven's playable races are Human, Inox, Quatryl, Orchid, Savvas, Valrath, Vermling, Aesther and Harrower, with Lurkers as a major faction; Frosthaven adds Algox, Unfettered and Lurker characters. Inox names are harsh and tribal, Quatryl names are quick and mechanical, Orchid names are flowing, Valrath names are mercantile and Semitic-flavoured like Jekserah, Vermling names are squeaky and short, Savvas names are formal and elemental, and Aesther names are single ethereal words like the canon character Hail.

Does my Gloomhaven character name matter for the game?

Mechanically no, but every character sheet has a name line, retirement and personal quests are written in the first person, and the name is what your group will use for the whole campaign. A lore-fitting name also makes the race-specific story text in scenarios and city events read better.

Can I use a nickname instead of a full name like the Jaws of the Lion characters?

Yes. Jaws of the Lion's Hatchet, Red Guard, Voidwarden and Demolitionist set the precedent for monikers, and many groups prefer them because they are quick to say at the table. Options like Sawtooth, Quickfuse, Mother Ash or The Lantern work for any class and can be paired with a real name later.

What should we name our Gloomhaven mercenary party?

Strong party names reference the map or the campaign's mood: The Gloom Wardens, Dagger Forest Outcasts, Misty Sea Marauders, The Corpsewood Compact or Gloomhaven Free Blades. Choose one before the first scenario so it can go on the party sheet, the reputation track and the achievement stickers.
