He has a unique variant of the Raise Dead Spell which summons Grave Guards instead of Zombies and a Wight King instead of Skeleton Warriors when overcast. As of The Hammers & The Herdstones update Ghorst's unique poison is now more powerful than the generic poison, having a much greater effect on all stats, especially speed. Because they are balanced around the fact that they inflict poison, it is better to recruit units that do not innately have poison (as they will receive the benefit from his bonus). It should be noted that poison does not stack, so units that have poison attacks already receive no benefit. That Ghorst provides poison attacks to his entire army (when chosen as your first lord) is a huge boon that drastically improves the effectiveness of his army.

Rather than killing Ghorst, the Count revealed further dark secrets to him, transforming Helman into something beyond the grief-maddened man from Templehof. It was here, forsaken in a corrupted land, that he attracted the attention of Mannfred von Carstein. Inevitably, he drew the attention of the Witch Hunter, von Kordon, and so abandoned Templehof and fled to Vargravia, taking the corpses of his brothers and father with him, determined to find a way to return them to life through Necromancy. The loss of his father and brothers to plague sent Ghorst into an obsessive madness he began studying the black arts in the hope of returning his lost kith to life. Helman Ghorst was once a man, yet that life was ripped from him by the uncaring vicissitudes of fate. What is death but an obstacle to be overcome? There is no true death beneath the eternal night.
