Norville Ferciello

"*This mask does not depict Norville, for I am none other than Gosom. My father is gonna be pleased by the time I'm done with both of you.*" - Norville's introduction as a Kamen Rider when facing Cog and Cogori

**Norville Ferciello** is an antagonist of the steampunk science fiction, *Kamen Rider Cog*. He is the son of Hugo Fericello, and the alias of **Kamen Rider Gosom**.

## Biography

#### **Origins**

Norville is Hugo Ferciello's son who empathized for his downfall from his reputation as a madman, presenting his automatons with animal parts. At some point after his father reinvented himself as Ciello of the Underground, Norville became **Kamen Rider Gosom**.

#### **Meeting Cabias Philo and Battling the Double Crickets**

Norville met Cabias at a Cinatian automobile exhibition, appearing to be a polite gentleman. When the Coal Men invaded the event, he revealed his true nature to the astonished Cog and Cogori. To The Double Crickets' surprise, Kamen Rider Gosom happened to weld a weapon of his own... the Whistle Rifle, which he used to attack his opponents.

## Other Events

#### ***Alutrio v. Ventara: The Terma Case***

As Gosom, Norville teamed up with a Karshian soldier named Terma who stole a card-carrying trinket from its rightful owner. Terma became a Kamen Rider himself with a cockroach motif. Gosom was surprised to have Cogori join his ranks as they battled Kamen Riders Horloge and Taran, who were led by a Ventaran Rider, Wing Knight. Gosom and Terma plotted to use Alutrio's radio towers to brainwash all citizens to join Terma back to Karsh to rebuild his home planet. This backfired after Cogori lifted his facade. In the aftermath following Terma's capture, Gosom saw another day to terrorize Alutrio with his father's monster creations.

## Abilities and Fighting Skills

Norville has good fighting skills as his Rider persona. He welds a Whist Rifle on the left side of his back, with a whistle head propped on his left shoulder. This helps complement Gosom's motif as a train conductor.

## Personality

Norville has polite manners as a civilian. Deep down, he desires to hurt people's chances to realize their dreams, much like how they treated his father's ambitions to create automatons with animal parts.
