A tiny, ancient woman with deeply wrinkled skin and gray hair pulled into a severe bun atop her head. She moves on eight mechanical spider legs forged from madra that emerge from beneath her robes, elevating her small frame. She wears traditional sacred artist robes and carries a massive goldsteel-plated bladed fishhook strapped to her back.

Fisher Gesha is introduced in Blackflame as a diminutive, ancient Soulsmith whose mechanical spider-drudge and goldsteel fishhook mark her as a formidable craftsman. By Underlord she has risen to Truegold and become a sought-after mentor whose expertise in constructs and madra is indispensable to the Arelius family. Across the two books her role shifts from hired tutor to trusted ally, her spider-drudge enabling her to work at heights and angles impossible for others while her guidance shapes Lindon’s rapid growth as a Soulsmith.
