Gorgota Falu

Gorgota Falu is a Frogman intelligence agent whose supervision of the Vampire Ramin Solost Muel develops into a long field partnership spanning counterintelligence, covert travel, and sabotage operations.

Biography

From supervisor to field partner

Gorgota first visits Ramin Solost Muel under the Parallel Nation’s Vampire-supervision program, delivering her legal blood supply and checking the growth of her fangs. The routine conceals an intelligence assignment: Gorgota has already detected the hidden Zombie plague and follows Ramin because the agency considers her dangerous. After Ramin rejects Fang’s recruitment and kills its agents, Gorgota admits the surveillance, reveals their intelligence credentials, and chooses investigation over treating her as an enemy. Their old military injury had redirected them from soldiering into this agency career. (Chapters 177–180)

When Mazdari recruits the pair for a mission to find Hwee-Kyung, Gorgota obeys despite receiving little preparation and becomes the practical organizer around Ramin and Juran. They drive, interpret military risks, draw on past knowledge of the Thunderstrider, and help the group cross Danly territory. After Fang captures them aboard a train, Juran frees them and Gorgota guides the group toward Rubeil. Faced with a fortified slave camp, Gorgota offers to enter alone rather than risk the others, then supports Ramin’s alternative by hiding weapons, arranging disguises, and exploiting the camp’s divided administration. (Chapters 181–192)

Sky Castle sabotage and senior service

Gorgota later accompanies Ramin in the search for Owen and is selected for a sabotage team because Mazdari trusts them to operate a Sky Castle’s reverse-propulsion controls. They study unfamiliar machinery quickly enough to teach Ramin and Owen, remember the castle’s confusing routes after seeing them from above, and keep the team away from scouts. Once the group reaches the propulsion bunkers, Gorgota accepts that Ramin must draw enemy attention and continues alone to reverse the giant Helix Wings. Their competence gives a small infiltration team the means to change the movement of an entire flying fortress. (Chapters 216–242)

The mission leaves Ramin wounded, and Gorgota stays with her through evacuation before returning to combat beside her and Owen at the Rasdasil Ruins base. They fire from cover, reload under attack, and split from Ramin when the terrain requires separate routes rather than clinging to a safer formation. Years later, Gorgota is described as Ramin’s long-time partner and has moved from field duty to oversight of internal affairs. Age narrows their role, but they continue mentoring younger personnel such as Ion and monitoring Ramin with the same practical concern that began their partnership. (Chapters 241–260)

Appearance and personality

Gorgota is a Frogman with a large build. By their later internal-affairs posting, wrinkles on their neck mark their age to observers familiar with Frogmen, whose outward appearance otherwise makes age difficult to judge. They carry the notebook badge of the intelligence agency and commonly use sidearms in the field. (Chapters 177–180 and 260)

They are cheerful during routine work, cautious under uncertainty, and willing to voice concern when an operation threatens people under their protection. Gorgota can be dryly humorous with Ramin, but their decisions remain professional: they admit when suspicion was mistaken, defer to specialists, and accept dangerous assignments once convinced they are necessary. (Chapters 178–192 and 216–250)

Powers and abilities

Intelligence tradecraft

Gorgota’s principal expertise is intelligence work rather than supernatural power. They conduct surveillance without revealing the Zombie-plague investigation, identify Ramin’s attempt to lose them, coordinate other agents around a Fang meeting, and understand how Danly’s class, railway, and camp systems shape infiltration. Their plans rely on observation, maps, disguises, compartmentalized institutions, and local contacts. The train capture shows that the work can fail when Fang anticipates the route, while Gorgota’s subsequent navigation and slave-camp deception demonstrate their ability to recover without treating the original plan as fixed. (Chapters 177–192)

Soldiering and firearms

Before entering the intelligence agency, Gorgota served as a soldier and moved to rear duties after an injury. Mazdari remembers their marksmanship and eyesight, and those qualities help him distinguish allies from Fang agents during his attack. In later fighting Gorgota uses revolvers and pistols, checks ammunition under fire, kills a Wyvern while climbing the Thunderstrider, and supports the defense of the Rasdasil Ruins base. The source presents solid veteran competence rather than an extraordinary combat skill, and their aging body eventually contributes to a move away from field work. (Chapters 179–185, 237–250, and 260)

Gorgota learns unfamiliar layouts and machinery quickly. During the Sky Castle infiltration they retain a complex route after traversing it, recognize the safer alley despite nausea from the descent, and understand the reverse-propulsion controls well enough to instruct two companions. The operation still depends on Ramin distracting defenders, Owen destroying a bunker, and divine aid for the descent; Gorgota’s role is the technical and navigational link that lets those contributions become a viable sabotage plan. (Chapters 237–242)

Relationships

  • Ramin Solost Muel: Gorgota moves from official supervisor and suspicious watcher to Ramin’s trusted field partner, repeatedly balancing respect for her judgment with concern for her safety.
  • Mazdari: Mazdari recruits Gorgota for their eyesight, shooting, and intelligence experience, then entrusts them with missions whose strategic purpose is only partly disclosed.
  • Juran: Gorgota guides Juran through the covert journey into Danly and helps turn his link to Hwee-Kyung into an actionable infiltration.
  • Owen: They join Owen in the Sky Castle sabotage team, where his scouting and direct power complement Gorgota’s navigation and technical work.
  • Ion Iolkaf: In internal affairs, Gorgota gives up their seat to Ion and serves as an experienced senior presence around the younger agent.
