Biography
Gorgovitch transferred to the Cannons in 1995 for a "record fee," and held the record for the most Quaffle drops in a season. Ron Weasley tried not to think about him if he could, probably because his favourite team was the Cannons.[1]
In 1997, after Harry Potter had a vision about wandmaker Gregorovitch, Ron wondered if he was referring to Gorgovitch instead; as, at the time, Harry didn't know who Gregorovitch was, the only hint he had to go on was that he may have been somehow connected to Quidditch.[1]
When selecting an alias for himself, during the Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank (1998), Ron named himself Dragomir Despard, most likely an allusion to Dragomir Gorgovitch.[2]
Etymology
The name "Dragomir" means "precious and peaceful" from the Slavic element dorgu meaning "precious" combined with mir "peace".
