Description
Gomez is a commander in the Spanish army during the 16th century, serving under Governor Pizarro. He is ambitious and has a strong lust for gold, often demonstrating a dishonorable nature by going back on his word.
He is a tall, broad-shouldered man with silver-colored hair and an anchor-shaped goatee. In earlier appearances, he wears a grey or beige outer coat with a wide brown collar, a metallic blue chest-plate adorned with gold patterns, dark blue pants, and tall brown boots. His hair is shoulder-length with long sideburns, and his eyes are often sleek and half-lidded, contributing to a cunning appearance. In later appearances, his biological age becomes more apparent with the addition of wrinkles and a more tan skin tone, alongside a flatter nosebridge. His coat is updated to include black sleeves.
Gomez first appears as the one who sent Mendoza to kidnap Zia on Governor Pizarro's orders. He identifies Mendoza as a potential threat and plots with Captain Perez and Gaspard to eliminate him, but Mendoza counters these plans. After a shipwreck, Gomez is rescued by another of Pizarro's ships. He later encounters the Solaris, a sun-powered ship, and discovers the children and Mendoza survived. He pursues them but fails due to the Solaris's speed. He eventually captures the moored Solaris, though Tao and Zia destroy it.
Knowing that Governor Pizarro does not tolerate failure, Gomez continues his efforts to recapture Zia to avoid certain death. He later encounters Mendoza without the children and forces him to guide his men through the Forbidden Zone. Mendoza betrays him by stealing his cannon and joining the Incas, leading Gomez to vow never to trust Mendoza again. Gomez and Gaspard go missing for several episodes but reappear when the children search for the Golden Condor. They help the children fight off the Olmecs to free the Condor but are left behind on a treetop. They later follow the children to the Olmec hideout and demand to be shown the way to the City of Gold.
Gomez reappears in a later season after a significant absence, using the pseudonym "Cinza" (Portuguese for "ash" or "ash-grey"). After the collapse of Tseila, he sought refuge with the Portuguese and ended up in Kilwa, where he engaged in slave trading. Gomez owns a mask called the Bako, which Zia attempts to steal. He catches her and, upon learning that the mask grants extraordinary power, wears it. However, he is deemed unworthy, and the mask begins burning his face. In a panic, he rushes out blinded and falls off his balcony, lying motionless in the final shot, implying a possible death, though it is not explicitly confirmed.
Throughout his appearances, Gomez is consistently portrayed as greedy, vicious, and ruthless in his service to Governor Pizarro and his pursuit of gold. His physical appearance and circumstances evolve, reflecting his ongoing struggles and ultimate downfall.
