**Gether Bax** is a supporting character in *SEE*. He is a member of the Alkenny Tribe who held a grudge against Baba Voss and Paris after they condemned his mother to burn after she opposed Baba Voss's election as leader of the tribe. As a result, Gether betrayed the Alkenny to Tamacti Jun and the Witchfinders after Maghra's arrival in the village. Gether is portrayed by Mojean Aria, and appears in the episodes "Godflame", "Message in a Bottle", "Fresh Blood", and "The River".

## Biography

Gether Bax was a member of the Alkenny who was suspicious of Maghra's arrival in their village. Pregnant, she married the Tribe's leader, Baba Voss. Gether found that she wore a necklace inscribed with the name "Jerlamarel" and knew that this man was sought by Queen Kane's Witchfinders. Sending a message to the Witchfinders, Gether betrayed his tribe and was at their side as they attacked the Alkenny.

Gether gave the Witchfinders information on the village defences and that there was no way off the mountain. However, when the Witchfinders discovered an empty village and a bridge leading across the ravine, the Witchfinder general Tamacti Jun insisted on Gether testing it before his own men crossed. Gether managed to get across to where the Alkenny had escaped and pretended that he had merely been left behind in the evacuation. Hiding his role in the attack, Gether joined the Alkenny in establishing a new village.

Despite this, Gether Bax never forgot the enmity that he bore Baba Voss and his family. It was Baba Voss and Paris who had condemned his mother to burn for opposing Baba Voss' leadership of the tribe. Along with his aunt, Souter Bax, Gether hatched a plan to send messages down the river in the hopes of informing the Witchfinders of their location. He was also convinced that Paris was a Witch, and tried employing the Alkenny's Shadow to find out the truth about her.

Seventeen years after the establishment of the new village, Gether and Souter were lovers and expecting a child. However, the child was born malformed due to inbreeding. Because of the Alkenny's forced isolation from other tribes, they required an intake of fresh blood to prevent further inbreeding. The Dreamer convinced Baba Voss to take a contingent of Alkenny to a local festival to allow them to partake in the usual ceremonies.

When the Witchfinders finally found the location of the new Alkenny village, Gether and Souter Bax loudly called for the Alkenny to hold those they considered to be Witches so that they could be given over to the Witchfinder General. Baba Voss, his family and several others managed to escape before the arrival of the Witchfinders, taking Gether hostage by knifepoint. After leaving him on their way to the river, Gether returned to the village and informed Tamacti Jun of the direction taken by those fleeing. As Baba Voss and his companions escaped Tamacti Jun and his army, Haniwa shot Gether with an arrow through the stomach. Tamacti Jun removed the arrow and stabbed him through the chest once he got more information out of him about where the river went.
