Appearance(s)

Galder? That's the harbor town west of Talys, out beyond the water. These days, a pirate by the name of Gomer calls the shots there. The whole town's at the mercy of his crew.
— Villager speaking about Gomer

Gomer (Japanese: ゴメス Gomes) is the head of a pirate band that took over Galder Harbor town, and the boss of Chapter 2 of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its remakes, Mystery of the Emblem Book 1 and Shadow Dragon. Gomer is the rude surprise awaiting Marth's band upon their arrival on the mainland, and their first obstacle standing between them and Aurelis.

Personality

As a minor boss, Gomer's characterization is limited, but things can be seen about his personality. Despite being a mere pirate captain, Gomer was able to take over the entire town of Galder and ruled the town with an iron fist.[1] Gomer was confident in his ability to take out Altea's knights personally.
