Warlord Gathrik is perhaps the most difficult Draugr Lord to kill in Skyrim, but he is also the most mysterious. Despite the Gatekeeper's unique name and importance, and being the singular named female Draugr Lord, there doesn't seem to be any lore or backstory to mine for further details.

Lore for The Elder Scrolls runs deep, and even the most minor characters can have their own story. Most Draugr in Skyrim are ancient and weak, but every once in a while, the Dragonborn will come across a named Draugr whose name and history can be discerned. Little more than mindless zombies, Draugr are nearly dead husks occupied by souls still clinging to the mortal world, though Draugr Wights and Deathlords may present a significant challenge, especially on higher difficulties. The depths of the dungeons, crypts, and caves of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimare filled with all sorts of grotesque monsters and deadly enemies, and none are more common than the Draugr, which range from common fodder to named Draugr Lords.
