Ormyn Gos /'ʌrmiːn gʌs/ was a Jeen and then Jeenor under Opol Dolysoh. A lover of Byskoh Losoh, he staged a coup with her in an attempt to overthrow Opol, but the coup failed.

Military career

Ormyn was an influential Jeen in Opol's army, probably making his name during the first years of Opol's reign and possibly in campaigns against the Meledesians. He then made Jeenor after a campaign against the Oaleed in 1797 FR, where he led a decisive attack, was injured, but continued to fight and lead his troops.

A coup against Opol

At some point in the 1790s Ormyn and Byskoh became lovers.

Health

Different sources describe Ormyn's disability following his injury in the 1797 Oaleed campaign differently: Porteek briefly mentions him as "a one-legged scoundrel", an inscription on the wall in a palace in Gaskal describes the hero of a war against Oaleed as "a warrior without an arm but with a very brave heart", Gaskal documents talk about a Jeen made Jeenor in 1797 named Gos, "who has so bravely sacrificed his legs in a noble war against our enemies".
