Goredolf Musik (ゴルドルフ・ムジーク, Gorudorufu Mujiiku??), also known as Goff (ゴッフ, Goffu??), is a Clock Tower magus who is part of the Department of Policies.
Within the World of Fate/Grand Order, he is the new owner and director of Chaldea Security Organization after the death of Olga Marie Animusphere. After the completion of the Remnant Order marking the end of Chaldea's purpose, he purchases the organization before it can be divided up by the Mage's Association.
Profile
Background
Goredolf is the son of the Musik family. He was tutored by a series of homunculi with short lifespans, mentioning Toole, Toole III, and Toole IV. Toole, among other things, taught him abdominal breathing to relieve stress. He is a part of the Department of Policies at the Clock Tower.
Appearance
He is 28 years old when he buys Chaldea.
Personality
Goredolf Musik initially presents himself as an unlikable leader, a flaw that he is aware of and later admits. While he is abrasive, that ultimately stems from his own insecurity and worrying about everything. Even if at first he seems a stereotypical elite magus, he actually cares about his subordinates. As Da Vinci explains, due to Toole's spartan education, Goredolf seems to treat any danger his fields operative are into as a danger to himself, so as a leader he is able to put himself in the perspective of the people he commands.
One of his biggest dreams is to visit the Suzuka Circuit. Goredolf has good driving skills. He has played racing games with Lord El-Melloi II.
Goredolf hates being called "old man" due to how he is actually younger than he really appears.
As a running gag, he can never remember Jingle Abel Meuniere's name.
Role
Servant Summer Festival! 2018
This event reveals that some time during the Remnant Order, Goredolf was in Hawaii when it became the Luluhawa Singularity. He briefly meets the Chaldea group or is in the vicinity of some incidents during each time loop.
Arc 2 Prologue
Shortly after arriving in Chaldea, Goredolf and Koyanskaya meet Ritsuka, Mash, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jingle Abel Meuniere in the command room. Goredolf informs Da Vinci's position as acting director will no longer be required, as he will assume sole command of Chaldea. He will also be taking all of Chaldea's remaining staff into custody. Da Vinci deduces his decision wasn't pre-approved by the Mage's Association, and threatens to inform the Association about it. Her disobedience frustrates Goredolf, as there shouldn't be anyone left in Chaldea who would disobey him according to Koyanskaya. Koyanskaya admits her report may have been in error and convinces Goredolf to take aggressive action. Goredolf then informs Da Vinci that 120 security guards are on their way and says the Association would back him if he were to take Chaldea by force. He continues that the remaining current staff will be locked up as criminals, while Ritsuka, Mash, Da Vinci, and Meuniere will be kept in a single room together to await questioning from the inquiry board. During that time, the Association will inquire about Chaldea's activities while beginning the transition to new staff. Da Vinci questions Goredolf's interest in Chaldea. Goredolf confesses he saw promise in Chaldea, unlike the rest of the Clock Tower. So when Chaldea was being auctioned off in parts, he used his family's entire fortune to buy all of Chaldea's assets and prevent its dismantling. Kirei Kotomine then arrives, claiming to have sent been by the church to join the investigation. Chaldea's remaining current staff is then taken into custody.
For three days, Goredolf's engineers struggle to thaw out A-Team's Coffins, so Da Vinci is called in. She is successful, but when the Coffins are opened, they are all empty. An alarm then sounds, with an announcement listing all the things that can no longer be detected or observed. The number of anomalies overload Chaldeas causing cracks to form on it. SHEBA has also shut down. Worse still, Chaldea is being invaded by the Oprichniki, who have cut off access to all exits and are wiping out Goredolf's soldiers.
Fleeing from the command room, Goredolf tries to hide from the Oprichniki. As he hides from them, he uses the PA system to beg anybody to save him. He laments that his life has always been full of failure and himself ever the outcast. He doesn't want to die yet, having not been praised nor loved by anyone. The Oprochniki eventually find him, so Goredolf tries to fight back. He soon, however, depletes the ammo in his magical pistol and his talismans. Fortunately for him, Ritsuka, Mash, and Da Vinci come to his rescue. But he isn't grateful that they rescued him and even blames Chaldea for the whole situation, falsely believing they've destroyed the world again. Mash tries to correct his mistake about who caused the Incineration of Humanity, only for Goredolf to her to shut up and start fixing everything. Despite her misgivings about Goredolf, Da Vinci agrees to bring him back with them to the hangar.
The group run for the hangar but they find themselves blocked off by Koyanskaya and the Oprichniki. Goredolf thinks the Oprichniki have captured Koyanskaya. Mash corrects him, though, revealing Koyanskaya is leading the Oprichniki and suspects her of orchestrating the attack on Chaldea. Goredolf realizes Koyanskaya has been deceiving him the whole time and thinks she wanted Chaldea for herself. Koyanskaya reminds him, though, that he was the one who agreed to her recommendation to purchase Chaldea in the first place. She even assassinated his rival bidders to ensure he would gain full rights over Chaldea and its property without the Association interfering. She then orders the Oprichniki to kill the group. Da Vinci prepares to fight them off when the Grand Duchess, the Servant who surrounded Chaldea and froze the east hall, arrives. The Grand Duchess proves stronger, so Da Vinci tosses an anti-spiritual body flashbang, allowing her and the others to escape.
The four make it into the hangar, but before they can reach the container where Sherlock Holmes and the rest of the survivors are, Kirei kills Da Vinci. Thanks to Da Vinci using the last of her strength to keep Kirei pinned, though, the remaining three are able to make it to the container. Sherlock asks why Da Vinci isn't them. Mash tries to tell him, but Goredolf, irritated by her crying, informs Sherlock that Da Vinci was killed. Sherlock then advises everyone to hang on to the pipes on the wall as the container is sent down the mountain slope.
The container spins out of control when Koyanskaya shoots it with her rifle. It is then revealed the container is to be a facade for a vehicle. Then, to their surprise, everyone meets Da Vinci in child form. Sherlock explains she is a spare body Da Vinci created in case of an emergency. It is a low-cost solution, but it has a low output, so Da Vinci is able to behave as if picking up where the former Da Vinci left off. Sherlock advises her to get back to the controls, reminding her she is an artificial Servant created to pilot the Shadow Border.
Eventually, the Chaldean survivors reach the ice shelf. Sherlock confirms all of Chaldea's command room transmissions have ceased, and all power output has shut down. Chaldea is now lost, with no way of returning to or taking it back. Mash tries to leave to go back to Chaldea, but her body has reached her limit. It is the cost of her transforming while unable to synchronize with her Spirit Origin properly, so she lacks the strength to open the hatch. Then, as everyone watches seven mysterious objects fall from outer space with a straight trajectory, a transmission is then received on the same frequency as Chaldea. It is from Kirschtaria Wodime of A-Team, declaring his decision to revolt against the wrongness of the Proper History by restoring the Age of Gods. Calling the seven objects seeds, he reveals they were sent to select new leaders. Those chosen will remake the planet as they see fit, and the one who reigns supreme shall be given the right to renew the world itself. Those of the Proper History aren't permitted to participate in this war, or even to view it from the sidelines. Properly introducing himself as representative of Crypters, Kirschtaria declares to the survivors that the Crypters will be the inheritors of the world's history.
The survivors soon near the coast, but Oprichniki blocks them from reaching the escape ship. Da Vinci advises they try for another observatory, but Sherlock reveals there is nothing anywhere on sonar. He suggests plowing the Oprichniki and pray they reach the sea. Ritsuka approves of the idea, so Sherlock asks Da Vinci permission to use the Paper Moon. He suspects the chances of success are 30% at best, and he can't predict where they'll end up. The Border's Zero Sail function is soon activated, and it dives into the Imaginary Number Space.
Abilities
As a member of the Musik Family, Goredolf knows alchemy. His magecraft skill is average by Clock Tower standards, but decent enough at combat to be able to fight against the Oprichniki on his own until rescue comes.[61] He uses a magic gun and magical amulets, as well as his own brand of magecraft, the Goff Punch: Iron Fist (鉄の拳??) that consists in turning his own arms into iron with alchemy to protect himself and punch enemies. He also devised a personal spell to turn bad meat into good meat with the usage of alchemy.
He seems to be an expert driver too, known by the name Phoenix Musik (不死鳥のムジーク, Fushichō no Mujīku??), being his own sponsor, driver and team. Goredolf also is quite good at cooking, being confident enough to trust his own pasta cooking abilities to be able to make prisoners spill the beans tempted by it. This is later proven true when he interrogates Caenis by cooking a croissant.
