Margrave Gharmal was the leader of the House of Constructs, one of the five Necrolord houses of Maldraxxus. A massive abomination, Gharmal possessed the power to shape flesh in ways that few other beings could. They had a voracious appetite for power and hoarded anything they believed to be an item of power. In the absence of the Primus, Gharmal and their house allied with Margrave Sin'dane of the House of Rituals in an attempt to conquer the Shadowlands, but the abomination margrave was slain in their stronghold by a joint assault by the Kyrian and Necrolord Covenants.

Biography
Gharmal was convinced by Kel'Thuzad, baron of the House of Rituals, to send their forces to attack Bastion's Temple of Courage alongside the House of Rituals. During this invasion, the Construct Surgeon Stitchflesh devised a way to create extremely powerful abominations from kyrian flesh, which would later be carried on by the rest of Gharmal's house. Many members of the House of Constructs opposed their margrave's actions. Fearing dissent, Gharmal removed many of the souls from their constructed bodies and imprisoned them in the Etheric Vault, leaving them to fade away from a lack of anima.

The attack on Bastion was eventually repelled by the Maw Walker. When they subsequently traveled to Maldraxxus, their combat prowess in the Theater of Pain drew the attention of Gharmal and Sin'dane—who recognized the stranger as having been responsible for thwarting their efforts—as well as Margrave Krexus of the House of the Chosen, who accused his fellow margraves of treason and ordered them to recall their forces from Bastion. In response, Gharmal mockingly asked if the Chosen had lost their appetite for glory. A vicious battle subsequently broke out between the three houses while the margraves returned to their respective strongholds to prepare for war, with Gharmal sending their vanguard to besiege the Chosen forces at the Spearhead. After the Maw Walker helped the Chosen push back the assault, Baron Vyraz (who was secretly in league with the Constructs and Ritualists) ordered the Maw Walkers and Secutor Mevix to launch a direct assault on the Construct stronghold in the hopes of catching Gharmal unprepared. The attack resulted in most of Mevix's soldiers being killed, and Gharmal themself emerged from their stronghold to tell their forces to hold their ground. Mevix decided on a change of strategy and told the Maw Walkers to play dead so the Constructs would collect them for parts, while he created a diversion by rushing at Gharmal and allowing himself to be captured. The secutor's plan was a success, and the heroes and Mevix later fought their way out of the stronghold alongside captives from Bastion by taking control of the Soulfused Construct and killing one of Gharmal's two barons, Halis.

Gharmal observed the fighting in the Theater of Pain alongside Sin'dane and Vyraz.

Some time thereafter, the margrave sent reinforcements to Bastion, led by their remaining baroness, Antolyte. This was repelled as well, this time by an alliance between Xandria—the Paragon of the ruined temple—and members of the Necrolord Covenant. The kyrian and Necrolords subsequently joined forces to launch a combined assault on the House of Constructs with the necropolis Zerekriss in order to end Gharmal's reign. The margrave gathered their forces at their stronghold, including new juggernauts of kyrian flesh. Gharmal used blasting crystals to keep the winged kyrian from descending and deathrocs to prevent the Zerekriss from moving into position, all while boasting about how they would soon get to craft the flesh of "those Chosen exiles and their kyrian pets".

Speculation
Gharmal's dual voice and their use of the pronouns "they" and "us", noted above, suggest that the margrave's personality is made of multiple souls fused together in a single body.
