Abstract
The past decade has seen great progress towards the unmasking of the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts, starting with the unambiguous detection of a supernova in the light of the long-GRB 030329 almost ten years ago, and the discovery of the first afterglows to short-GRBs in 2005. Here I review progress towards unveiling the progenitors of both long and short-duration GRBs. Furthermore, I examine the diverse broader population of GRBs and high energy transients, and suggest that a full consideration of this parameter space leads to the conclusion that additional progenitor models are likely to be needed, if we are to understand the complete view of GRBs and the transient high-energy sky.
