Appearance
Gomdar has thick black hair that hangs down to his shoulders, and has a medium sized beard and mustache. In his time in Parranel he wore a fur collared coat. During the Quest to Murlon, he wore a blue-ish colored cloak with a hood.

Personality
He is angry and hates the goblins who killed his family and town in Parranel. He grew a strong bond with Mawror, considering him a teacher and a father. He saw the Quest to Murlon as a chance of revenge.

Early Life
Gomdar lived in the town of Parranel. Since his youth he was trained in magic by an unknown sorceror. After Parranel was raided by goblins, Gomdar was taken care of by Mawror.

Quest to Murlon
When the Gomair was formed, Mawror introduced Gomdar to the company. Gomdar traveled with the other Gomair members under the Enuremys. He helped rescue Wisfit and Angeber from the enurdors. Gomdar then rested in the walls of Dimas Thortin until Gonathor's army attacked. He fought during the Battle of Thortin, and he was killed by Lusador. Gomdar was buried in the Thortin Cemetery.

Powers and Abilities
Although he was trained in magic for many years, his power is limited. He knows basic telekenesis, telepathy, sensing and shields.

His melee weapon is a boadsword which he named Revenge. It was his sword as a child in Parranel.

Portrayal in Adaptions
Gomdar is played by Joe Chire in "The Red Wizard" films directed by Walter Speareon.

Trivia
Considered the "least relevant" of the Gomair, his role in the book is very small, thus making his death very bland. In the film version, Walter gave Gomdar a larger role, incorporating his past and his connection with Mawror to make him more important character.

Gomdar was a different character in the original "The Red Wizard". He was Sordin's brother, who was similarly killed in battle.
