The "Korgath" theory is one of the most commonly posulated ones in this thread, and has been rejected repeatedly for being silly. Personally, I'd point out:Gormash wrote:I have a theory that I've not seen yet, though how likely it is remains to be seen.
Sometime in the future, Forgath goes through some seriously disturbing stuff and ends up transported back in time and ends up as Kore.
There is no precedent for time travel in Goblins.
Kore is really, really old.
Dwarves aren't exactly rare in Goblins - it just seems that way since we've only seen three (Kore, Forgath, small child at the tavern).
EDIT:

If Forgath kills him, then the prophecy of Forgath being killed by another dwarf will still be fulfilled.

(not to be confused with loss) But you know who DOES have red hair, but less grey than Kore? FORGATH'S FATHER! "He died hours later from his wounds." And yet the gasp all but proves that's him.
Well, I suppose Kore could be an older brother, but then where's the named armor piece that he should have?
And while I'm digging up old posts, I'd like to ask again:DrinksTooMuchCoffee wrote:Everyone has mentioned that. All the time. Forever. Repeatedly. Endlessly.Synch wrote:I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but I think Kore is actually Korgath.
