Biography[]

History[]

Gomeisa comes from a proud and respected family of scholars. After winning the civil war during the Waning of the Veils, Gomeisa and Nashira rose to take the position of blood-sovereigns. There are always two blood-sovereigns, one from each sex, and Gomeisa represents the male in this partnership. Gomeisa and Nashira form the heart of the Sargas doctrine. Like many of the other Rephaim, Gomeisa arrived on Earth from the Netherworld in 1859.

Gomeisa is thought to be the mastermind behind the conquest of Ireland which he accomplished through his most powerful puppets, Hildred Vance and Abel Mayfield.

Liss Rymore was Gomeisa's first and only human he took on as a keeper. He thought she had potential to be a great red-jacket. However when she refused to do a reading for her first test so she wouldn't incriminate one of the harlies for trying to run away, Gomeisa cast her out and has hated her furiously ever since.

The Bone Season[]

Gomeisa beats up Liss, strangling her and dislocating her shoulder, because he didn't like what the cards showed him when he made her do a reading. He is not in Sheol I most of the time. He takes Liss to the Castle, which is the name of the Detainment Center, for a while and puts her in a cell. When he's ready he makes her do a reading for him.

Gomeisa attends the Bicentenary Celebration. He gives a speech to the gathered Scion officials. He introduces himself as the Rephaim's primary emissary to the Westminster Archon. Thus, he spends much of his time in the capital city with the Inquisitor, discussing how best to increase the efficacy of Sheol I. Later that night, he kills Liss during the prison break. Warden, Alsafi Sualocin, Terebell Sheratan, and Pleione Sualocin fight him with spirits so that Paige Mahoney and Nick Nygård can escape.

The Mime Order[]

Terebell tells Paige that during the revolt, Nashira and Gomeisa barred themselves inside the Residence of the Suzerain, along with every loyal red-jacket that had not been killed, to wait out the destruction.

Gomeisa makes a speech to Paige, who is possessing a Vigile, in the Westminster Archon about how powerful the Sargas family is. He describes how their influence is "as deeply rooted as an anchor in the earth." Paige is not impressed, replying, "I'm a dreamwalker, Gomeisa. I recognize no anchor to this earth."

Physical Description[]

Gomeisa is unquestionably the most disturbing in appearance of the Rephaim. While none of them look old, he has a bone structure that lends gravitas to his features, haunting them with cruel insight. He seems older than the other Rephaim due to something about his bearing, and the sheer mass of his dreamscape. Deep hollows lay beneath his prominent cheekbones. His eyes are pressed deep into his head, where they glow in their sockets. His sunken eyes are chartreuse yellow in color, except for when he's fed on aura. There's a hunger and malice in his stare. He is very tall and lean like all the Rephaim. He is golden-haired with gaunt features. As a Sargas, he has silver-gold sarx that is more silver than gold. His lips pull downward, as if weighed down. Gomeisa has the typical neutral Rephaite expression, as if he is an impassive observer. His aura is like a hand across the sun. Gomeisa has unnatural strength for a Rephaite. He easily wards off four other Rephaim in a fight. He wears high-collared robes, and a chain of woven gold and topaz is strung between his shoulders. His laugh sounds like grinding metal.

Personality[]

Gomeisa is fond of metaphors. Although he's implied to speak in a cold, impassive voice, like most Rephaim, that doesn't stop him from being dramatic. Gomeisa's clairvoyance is like that of a poltergeist as he is able to wield apport, which essentially gives him the abilities of telekinesis. Due to his personal dislike for humans, he remains in the shadows and allows Nashira to be the figurehead of the Rephiam in the human world. He views humans as "mindless moths drawn to the flame of the Rephaim's wisdom."[1] Paige says she can feel his dreamscape like a wall against her skull. it is the most ancient and terrible thing she's ever felt in the æther.
