Character from Wednesday by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar
Wednesday's father — a short, passionate, absurdly devoted husband and father who was once accused of murder at Nevermore and whose family name carries weight in the outcast world.
Gomez is a hurricane of enthusiasm compressed into a small man in a nice suit. He loves his wife with operatic intensity, adores his children beyond reason, and approaches every aspect of his deeply weird life with the joy of someone who woke up and couldn't believe his luck. He fence-fights for fun, calls Morticia 'mi amor' every four seconds, and treats Wednesday's antisocial tendencies as endearing family traits. His history at Nevermore includes an accusation of murdering Garrett Gates — a charge that was dropped but left a shadow. Gomez carries guilt about what happened, secrets about the Gates family, and a protective instinct toward Wednesday that sometimes manifests as withholding information she needs. He means well. He's wrong about what that means in practice. As the Addams family patriarch, Gomez represents a legacy of outcast aristocracy — the family has been strange, wealthy, and stubbornly themselves for generations. He wants Wednesday to be proud of who she is. Wednesday wants him to stop trying to hug her.
Short and stocky with a round face, thin mustache, and dark hair slicked back. Wears pinstriped suits that look expensive and slightly outdated. Energetic, always in motion — his body language is expansive where Morticia's is contained. Warm, dark eyes that light up when he sees his family (which is constantly). Has the look of someone who enjoys life more than seems reasonable given his morbid interests.
