Chisha Gold

* Light Novel
* Light Novel (past)

**Chisha Gold** (チシャ・ゴールド) was the **Fourth ranking Divine General** of the Sacred Vollachia Empire and Emperor Vincent Vollachia's military advisor. He also formerly served the role of Vincent's decoy while the latter was still an emperor. Chisha played a rather important role in Ex 4, Ex 5, and Sword Identity, where he aided the emperor with the best of his abilities.

Chisha Gold debuted in Arc 7 as Vincent's body double in the Demon City of Chaosflame, embodying the emperor. He was later killed by a revived Balleroy Temeglyph at the Great Disaster's commencement after sacrificing his own life.

## Appearance

Chisha Gold was a tall, lean man with relatively long snow-white hair with the tips of his bangs being purple in colour. His extremely pale complexion made him give off an impression as if all the colour drained from him. He was also noted to emit an aura of not entirely being present in the room. His golden eyes had a decorative purple tear-drop at the outer side of each of his eyes which give off an air of mystery which befitted the Divine General rather well. He dressed in a long white coat that covers his body in its entirety. The coat has a rather high white collar and what appear to be 6 purple-colored gems at his chest area; three for each side of the chest. The inside of the coat seems to be a mixture of different colours arranged in stripes; darker white, grey and grey with circular purple designs respectively.

Before the coronation of the seventy-seventh emperor of the Vollachia Empire, Chisha wore the exact same dress but solely black. His hair was also of the same colour, as well as his weapon. Following his injury that almost cost him his life, Chisha's hair turned white and thus, the Divine General decided to entirely switch his colour scheme.

## Personality

Chisha was a calm and collective individual, preferring to rely on his keen intellect rather than on his limited fighting strength. He walked around with an air of mystery and uncanniness, spoke in a polite manner–in contrast with some other Divine Generals such as Cecilus and Yorna–and generally gave off a more pacifistic vibe. Despite being a Divine General in the Vollachia Empire, Chisha was shown to not have much of the nationalistic tendencies others have, and admits his poor fighting capabilities, claiming that he only became a Divine General out of necessity.

Despite his outward appearance, however, Chisha was cold and calculative, planning his every step and manipulating all of his opponents with borderline ease. With his keen intellect, he was easily able to impersonate Vincent's mannerism and ways of thinking to perfection, while his decoy ability seemingly allowed him to morph into the emperor, keeping the throne occupied and preventing a nation-wide rebellion from occurring. He was the first to betray Vincent, though it was later revealed that he did so as part of a plan to use his own life as a substitute for the Great Disaster that was prophesied to kill "Vincent Vollachia".

## History

Hailing from a commoner family, Chisha first met Vincent Vollachia when a Prince's Dragon Carriage got stuck in a ditch. Using his calculative skills, Chisha helped the Prince get his Dragon Carriage unstuck. Noticing Chisha's excellent calculative abilities, Vincent hired him and so, Chisha started working for the soon-to-be emperor of the Vollachian Empire.

Seven years ago, during the time of the Imperial Selection Ceremony, Chisha worked as Vincent Abellux's chief of strategy. His plans were instrumental to Vincent's success though one of them resulted in his near-fatal injury caused by Arakiya that was the reason for his hair suddenly turning white after he'd flitted between life and death.

After the rebellion four to five months before Arc 1, Chisha took place in a meeting about the incident alongside Vincent, Goz Ralfon, Groovy Gumlet, and Moguro Hagane. About a month later, he visited Lugunica in order to retrieve Gramdart Holstoy who Cecilus went to catch on his own behalf.

## Abilities

**Unnamed Transformation Ability**: Chisha often acted as Vincent Vollachia's decoy. According to Vincent, following his escape from the Imperial Capital of Lupugana, Chisha was the one who made a public appearance in his place and even acted as the emperor for him. Upon entering the Demon City of Chaosflame, Subaru, Al and Medium encountered a group of four individuals, one of which being Vincent himself despite how the real Vincent resting at a lodging not far from the Crimson Lapis Castle. Vincent later revealed that the impostor was indeed Chisha Gold, remarking that many can impersonate him, but only Chisha is capable of fully embodying him.

**Advanced Intellect**: Chisha possessed considerable intellect and was capable of rapid critical thinking and planning. He had ascended to the rank of Fourth purely due to his calculative skills and outstandingly brilliant tactics. With him at his side, Vincent easily won conflicts and swiftly dispatched any and all dangers facing him. Furthermore, Chisha's keen intellect allowed him to impersonate Vincent to perfection and predicting his next moves, all the while fooling everyone in Vollachia with his decoying ability.

**Relative Power**: Though noted to be rather weak for a Divine General, Chisha is able to stand his ground against someone as powerful as Arakiya, even if just for a short amount of time.

**Equipment**:

* **White Fan**: Chisha wields a fan in combat and is somewhat skilled with it.

## Trivia

* Chisha's original name was Chesha Trim (チェシャ・トリム *Chesha Torimu*). Before it was revealed to be an old name, Chisha was first called it by Cecilus in The Land of Wolves / Death unto the Weak, No Mercy ZERO Arakiya.
* Chisha has his own named chapter in Arc 7, in both the Web and Light Novel.
