Ghetsis Gropius

Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius is the former leader of Team Plasma. He's now a member of the Tekiyoku. He's from Opelucid City in the Unova region and is a Dragon Manipulator, although his contract Pokémon is unknown.

Pre-Series
Ghetsis hasn't exactly been shown in the series yet, but has only been seen in the Transmissions. He speaks in Transmission #2 along with Colress and Aldith. He mentions that he's a Dragon Manipulator, then revealing that Dragon Manipulators can summon Legendaries.

Main Series
He was also mentioned by citizens in Kasai Village, the place that Barry, Zoey, and Kenny visited to help Sanpei and the rest of the village. Ghetsis was primarily mentioned by Hanzo and Saizo. Saizo, a member of the Kasai Militia, was in charge of a unit that was keeping an eye on Ghetsis, fearing he might wreak havoc on people in the Unova region. He and his unit were stationed there, monitoring Tekiyoku activity.

Hanzo, the chief, had received word that Ghetsis might be about to attack cities in Unova, looking for a Plate before Alain gets there. He ordered Ippei to meet Saizo and his unit in Unova to help stop Ghetsis.

It turns out that the word was false and Ghetsis wasn't actually doing anything in Unova, presumably just being stationed there, waiting for Alain to arrive.

Naming

 * His first name, Ghetsis, is his name in the English dub of the Pokémon anime. It's a romanization of his Japanese name, which is G-Cis. This name represents G and Cis (C#), which are musical notes. These notes are the two notes that are played on his battle theme in the Pokémon games. They're played on timpani.
 * The combination of "G" and "Cis" is a tritone, a dissonant musical interval previously referred to as Diabolus in Musica (The Devil in the Music) in the 18th century.
 * The name "G-Cis" could also be romanized as Goetis, derived from Goetia, Greek for "sorcery".


 * His middle name, Harmonia, is his Japanese second given name in the anime, along with his actual middle name in the English dub of the anime. It's latin for "harmony". It also may be a reference to the mathematical harmonic functions.
 * His last name, Gropius, is his last name / surname in the Japanese and English versions of the anime. It may be a reference to the Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius.

General

 * His birthday, January 19th, is the birthdate of his Japanese voice actor, Masaki Aizawa.
 * Ghetsis is the only Tears of the Fallen character to have all three of their names come from their three actual names in the Pokémon franchise.
