"The actual name of the Lord Mayor of the City of Greyhawk... is Nerof Gasgol. but when his last name is pronounced the "o" sounds like an "a" (Gasgol), and that is what everyone thinks his name is when they write it out. He has long ago given up trying to correct the error."[1]

Gasgol is "habitually devious, moderately corrupt, and often ruthless, but well-liked and hard-working; has superb judgment but is not especially bright."[2]

History
Nerof Gasgol was born in 540 CY in Greyhawk. At some point, he joined the Guild of Thieves, which was then under the leadership of Guildmaster Arentol.
In 570 CY, Gasgol became Lord Mayor of Greyhawk (it is assumed that he was a member of the Directing Oligarchy prior to that). One of the youngest mayors in Greyhawk's history, Gasgol and his allies on the Directing Oligarchy (who include Org Nenshen, his best friend, former partner, and guildmaster of the Thieves Guild) brought great changes and dynamism to the city government, including reforming the city's currency.
An attempt to assassinate Gasgol was made in 589 CY during the Feast of Fools. Durin the parade and celebrations, a beggar used a poison needle to try to kill Gasgol. The attempt failed, and Carmen Halmaster was hit instead, but was immediately healed by a cleric travelling with the Director's bodyguards.[4]
Gasgol led Greyhawk for almost three decades, bringing the city to victory over its enemies, expanding its territory, and increasing its wealth. In fact, Gasgol was regarded as one of Greyhawk's greatest mayors, second only to Zagig Yragerne.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
In Living Greyhawk
Gasgol was assassinated in 598 CY by Turin Deathstalker, the former governor of Safeton during the Centennial Celebrations.[10]
