History
Gasher lived in the city of Lud. The city was torn apart by violence, particularly between the Grays and the Pubes. Gasher was a member of the Grays and worked for the Tick-Tock Man.

Gasher came across Roland's Ka-tet on the way to Lud. He kidnapped Jake by threatening to blow them up with a grenade. Gasher was dying from a disease called Mandrus and therefore had nothing to lose.

After he escaped, he fled with Jake to escape Roland and take Jake to the Tick-Tock man. He would beat Jake if he ever slowed. He also showed pedophillic tendencies toward Jake.

After he reached the base, he was unable to read the password, so had Jake read it. What he didn't realized was that he was being followed by Roland and Oy. Roland and Oy broke into the base and Gasher was shot.
