Gohvis is Dozer's right-hand servant, and the foremost living expert on Mutation.
Description
Gohvis is gigantic and vaguely draconic in appearance. Though he still has the general shape of a human, he has a long pointed tail, black scales covering his whole body and brightly glowing red eyes. He can seemingly add and reduce muscle mass at will.
Personality
Little is known about Gohvis' personality. He is not as active as most servants of his caliber, but he is relentless and methodical when he sets his mind on a goal. He seems to have a soft spot for the Elroy family, since he had a connection with one of them before he joined Abolish. One of the few times that he has gone against the will of Dozer was to kill the group of Abolish servants who nearly wiped out the Elroys.
He seems to be particularly obsessed with Mutation powers in the Elroy family, and total Mutation powers as he believes they are a key to saving humanity, according to his particular sub sect of Abolish that he leads.
Ants analogy
Gohvis likes to express his views on human destiny using two insect species: the Jaskadan jumper ant and the Ardoran angel ant.
Jumper ants are the deadliest insects on Eleg. They have supermajor soldiers the size of a human fist, remarkable jumping abilities, and a paralytic venom. They are so aggressive that they drive off or wipe out all other animal life in large swaths of land... except angel ants, which they simply cannot harm. Angel ants are immune to poison, almost impossible to crush, heat-resistant to 3,000 degrees (easily exceeding the hottest forest fires), and capable of surviving for weeks on nothing but dew. Furthermore, angel ants appear to have a true, intelligent hive mind. With their effective invincibility, angel ants have the capability to be even more dangerous than jumper ants, but simply don't bother fighting or conquering anything because nothing can threaten them.
Gohvis believes that human nature currently resembles that of jumper ants, and wishes to remake humanity into something more closely resembling the angel ant, including both the physical resilience and the serenely cooperative hive mind. He keeps an ant farm full of Ardoran angel ants in his office.
History
Despite rumours believed by several important members of Vanguard, Gohvis was never a member of House Elroy or even a Rainlord. Though, he says he had a special connection to Agam Elroy, going so far to claim that they were linked through their mutations. He further claimed that Adam Elroy was like a father to him, and that Agam Elroy was more mystic than scientist, but admits he was brilliant.
Gohvis admits that at the time he knew Agam Elroy, neither one of them was a member of Abolish.
What is known is that he still seeks to protect the Elroy family from harm, even though they are officially his enemies. Following the Massacre of House Elroy, he hunted down the perpetrators and killed them all. When Air Marshal Artemis showed up intending to kill them to preserve his secret, Gohvis noticed him. Though Artemis escaped, Gohvis hunted him down over the course of three years and killed him as well.
Kidnapping Emiliana
When Ivan's allies appeared at Dunehall to kill the Rainlord and Sandlord servants there, Gohvis came and claimed Emiliana. Ivan assumed at first that he wanted to protect all of the Rainlords, but allowed him to take Emiliana when Gohvis claimed that he only cared about her. He was upset that Gohvis has intruded on his plans and lied about having orders from Dozer, but said that he didn't want to fight over something so trivial. Ibai tried to escape with Emiliana and the other Elroy children, but despite his teleportation Gohvis was able to catch up to him through sheer speed.
He kidnapped Ibai and Emiliana and carried them far away. When they stopped, he corrected Emiliana's assumption that they are related. He states that Emiliana had inherited Agam Elroy's power and that he wants to study the link between them.
Power and Abilities
Gohvis has the power of Mutation, and has spent several hundred years mastering it and using it to turn his body into a terrifying weapon. He seems to have extremely keen senses and is blindingly fast, able to catch up to even Ibai. He also appeared capable of tracking teleportations, even in progress. He is inhumanly strong beyond even the advantages granted by Soul Power and his Servant's Body, capable of throwing punches that send the target flying literally for kilometers, and casually plowing through solid rock. Jercash once described him as "flat-out unstoppable."
He appears to be able to use Pan-Rozum, although what kind of effect it has on his power is unknown. In fact, he is apparently in pan-rozum at all times, speaking in the distinctive double voice even when he is simply walking around at home.
His mutation power also appears to be able to link him to Agam and Emiliana Elroy, though in what way is unknown. Before kidnapping Emeliana, on a couple of occasions he seemingly projected an image of himself into her presence, which was apparently non-solid but capable of perceiving her surroundings. He is also capable of creating fully combat-capable projections, allowing him to be present on multiple war fronts at the same time, though it may be that only one can fight at a time.
Gohvis is the Keeper of the Library of Erudition, a post he inherited when he killed the previous Keeper for restricting his reading. The full powers and responsibilities this grants are unknown, but he has full access to the Library's vast repository of knowledge, and permission from him is the only way to read the Library's books without the living archive attempting to consume the reader. He also controls a set of living and working spaces that are either in or connected to the Library, forming a valuable stronghold and safe harbor within the deadly permanent soul-storm of Exoltha.
Secret Nature
Known only to himself, Dozer and perhaps a few trusted confidantes, Gohvis is not actually a servant at all. His powers are identical to those of a mutation servant, but he manifests those powers by himself with no reaper involved. One of his earliest projects was developing a telepathic voice, which allowed him to fake the double voice of a hyper-state user. No one knows how this is possible, including himself. It's also unclear what could truly kill Gohvis, without a reaper to destroy; he has survived decapitation in combat, but has never suffered full-body destruction and cannot safely perform the experiment.
