Thracia 776

The soil itself don't want us here! Nothin' grows! Tryin' to till a field is like sawing through rock! All I wanted was a full belly, but you let that wench Eyvel cheat you outta the good land!
— Gomez to Dagdar

Gomez (Japanese: ゴメス Gomez) is a boss appearing in Chapter 8x of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is an underling of Dagdar though he has gone rogue since the disappearance of Eyvel.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Role

Gomez first appears during Chapter 8 instructing Rumei, a hired mercenary, to not allow any intruders in Dagdar's Manor.[1] When Leif's forces appear Rumei is unsuccessful. During Chapter 8x, Gomez attempts to kill Dagdar and Tanya due to the fact that everyone is starving; their attempts at honest farming have been failure after failure and he is fed up with it.

Leif's forces arrive and save Dagdar and Tanya from Gomez. Gomez is either killed or captured by Leif's forces.

Personality

Gomez is purely motivated by the horrible food situation in Thracia; obtaining food through legitimate farming does not provide enough. Tired of Dagdar's and Eyvel's attempt at honest farming, he attacks the village near Dagdar's mansion, though he is apologetic for his actions.

August comments that it is likely that Gomez and the other bandits were abandoned as children due to food shortages and that banditry was their only option for survival.[2]

Gomez or Gomes; Gómez is the Spanish form and Gomes is the Portuguese form of a surname meaning "man", of Visigothic origin.[3][4] Possibly named after Máximo Gómez, a Dominican-Cuban general who had a strained relationship with one of his allies, José Martí; this appears to be referenced in-game when Gomez forces a character named Marty to work for him.

  1. "Gomez: Change of plans. Gonna need you to put in a little extra elbow grease - looks like there's a whole group of folk comin' this way. Dunno why they're here, but I need you to keep 'em clear of the manor while I'm inside. Once that's done, you'll get every coin." — Gomez to Rumei in Chapter 8, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
  2. "South Thracia is a land dominated by mountains - steep, imposing crags dot the landscape, and a cliff lies around every corner. By nature, the land demands severity and discipline from all who live in it. Farmers work themselves to the bone to cultivate what few crops the land will provide, but even so, it is not enough to survive on. And thus they are left with a terrible dilemma: for every one person who gets fed, two others must go hungry. Dagdar's men, abandoned in their youth, are the result of this ruthless arithmetic. This is the reality of living in South Thracia." — August to Leif at the end of Chapter 8x, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
