Your pal, Gog-Agog is a demiurge and a member of the Seven.[3] She is a world spanning worm-based hivemind. She has integrated billions of people into her hivemind, and is prone to engaging in flippant or melodramatic behavior for seemingly little motive besides her own amusement.

History[]

Background[]

Gog-Agog is the oldest one of the Seven by a wide margin[4] and was always made of worms, although she was not always sapient[5]. Whoever and whatever Gog is, she far exceeds the age of the universe, remembering countless cycles before the current one, having done this so many times it has driven her a bit insane. She feels (perhaps more metaphorically than literally) that she is in the audience of a play while everyone else is completely unaware that they are on a stage.[6]

Earlier in Kill Six Billion Demon's development, the author wrote that Gog had a Cinderella-esque backstory that went horribly wrong, but as production of the comic continued and time went on, her backstory mattered less and less. In an art stream he has said that he didn't want to tread the same ground as other demiurges and that quoted as saying "Some characters don't need a backstory" and that it pulls away from their mystique.

The Universal War[]

By the end of the Universal War, Gog-Agog stood victorious with six other demiurges and was bestowed the title of "Lord of Infinity". She eventually helped establish the Pact of the Seven Part World, an agreement that carved the multiverse into seven pieces, one for each victor.[3]

Kill Six Billion Demons[]

At the concordance of the demiurges, Gog-Agog is seen admiring her own reflection, assisted by a number of tiny servants. For some reason she does not appear to be fully rational, but otherwise seems capable of functioning normally.[7] She takes turns mocking each of the speakers by making accusations on each while mimicking another's mannerisms until Mottom, annoyed, causes her head to explode. Angrily, she says that she had been working on that face, but the arrival of Jagganoth brings the other demiurges' squabbling to a close as they discuss what to do with Zaid and Zoss' misplaced Key of Kings.

King of Swords[]

Gog-Agog sends one of her envoys to the house where Allison is staying and has him announce her arrival before she bursts from within his body. Although she is quickly punched by Allison, she pulls her face back into its normal shape and laments that no one gives her a fair chance to get to know her. When Allison questions how she found her, Gog-Agog reveals that she is a big fan of Allison and has been watching her for a while. Gog-Agog explains that everyone wants to feel satisfied and happy, which she is able to exploit to spread her influence throughout Throne. She offers Allison a similar opportunity in the form of one of her worms, which she says if eaten will allow Allison to become a part of Gog-Agog and experience the same contentment as the rest of Gog-Agog's followers. When Allison declines, Gog-Agog expresses disappointment that her plan didn't work and switches tactics by offering her a chance to fight in the Ring of Power, Solomon David's fighting tournament. Gog-Agog tells Allison that she helps run the tournament and can rig the matches so that Allison can fight Solomon and defeat him, allowing Allison to have a wish granted while simultaneously ridding Gog-Agog of Solomon, whom she dislikes. Allison rebukes Gog-Agog again and says that she wants nothing from the Seven, but Gog-Agog transforms her face into Zaid's and taunts her.

Gog-Agog bears a sinister expression on her face as she listens to Solomon's warning.

Gog-Agog attends the second concordance of the demiurges located in the old meeting hall of the demiurges (given the same name) located at the center of Throne. Gog-Agog claps as Mottom and Mammon hurl attacks at each other, only to have Nadia Om make her head explode again. As the demiurges converse, she is talked over but expresses her opinion that Allison is "cool". Nadia causes her head to explode again. As Solomon reminds the demiurges of the terms of the pact, she glares angrily at the disrespect she is given. This is further hinted by the secret text of the image quoting The Conqueror Worm by Edgar Allen Poe.


When the 313th Ring of Power starts, Gog-Agog can be seen hosting the event. During the tournament, she takes the form of several different bodies simultaneously, each with a slightly different personality, each wearing a slightly different outfit, and each fulfilling a different hosting/announcer role. Each version of Gog-Agog gives their own reactions and commentaries as the events of the Ring of Power unfold. These bodies are presumably destroyed along with the arena when Jagganoth arrives on Rayuba at the end of the book.

Breaker of Infinities[]

World of gog

Gog-Agog looks down at her enemy and allies with many eyes.

Gog-Agog is seen reconstituting her body from worms in the soil of Rayuba after Solomon David invokes the Pact of the Seven Part World[8]. Afterwards, she is mostly idle for the first portion of the battle against Jagganoth, even after being impaled on an ice spike created by Jadis. After Jagganoth takes on his war form and take the upper hand, Solomon angrily tells Gog-Agog to honor the Pact of the Seven Part World. In response, Gog reluctantly agrees,[9] she then bemoans her treatment by the other demiurges, and how they have always looked down on her, despite needing her for the Pact. When Jagganoth attacks her with an energy beam, Gog-Agog immediately reconstitutes herself[10] and teleports in a countless number of identical bodies. The newly arriving bodies break apart, and combine into a giant spherical shell around the floating remnants of the arena.[11] The inside of the shell forms into a mass of grotesque faces, who all attack Jagganoth along with the other demiurges and Aspected Chaos.[12] When Jagganoth repels this combined attack, Gog-Agog sends more tendrils of her mass towards him, pinning him to the ground.[13] However, as the rest of her allies are preparing one final attack to reactivate the binding on Jagganoth, Gog-Agog appears in front of them in a single body and asks for the other demiurges to admit that they need her.[14] Mottom, in a fit of anger, calls Gog-Agog a "worthless ingrate" and yells for her to get out of the way. In response, Gog begins to walk away. Shocked, Mottom accuses Gog-Agog of dooming them all, to which Gog-Agog replies that she will be fine.[15] The spherical shell of worms around the battle dissolve, freeing Jagganoth and allowing him to execute his final attack.

3 years later[]

Gog-Agog has been revealed to simply stand idly by as Jagganoth begins his final conquest of the multiverse.[16]

Wheel Smashing Lord[]

Appearance[]

During the Universal War, Gog-Agog wore a long, tattered green cloak, her face obscured by shadows. She also wielded a scythe, presumably for combat.

In the current era, Gog-Agog typically wears an oddly-shaped green hood and a costume resembling a jester's uniform. Her pale skin is marked in several areas by thin red lines. Because worms comprise the entirety of her body, she can alter her appearance as desired to instantly reform damaged parts or create clothing, with her worms appearing in between transformations. She bears a dripping, white-green halo over her head.

Gog-Agog's diminutive servants carry a mirror and a vast array of makeup tools to make constant adjustments to her face, such as painting her eyebrows, applying lipstick, or combing her hair.[7][17] Her court appears to follow the same medieval court-based theme as their ruler, with the attendants present at the second concordance wearing similar green jester outfits or ruffled aristocratic dresses and high powdered wigs.

Personality[]

Little is known about Gog-Agog, but she appears to be manipulative, self-absorbed, and flippant to the point of recklessness, admiring her reflection in a mirror while making strange, off-hand remarks about the concordance of demiurges.[7] She behaves as if forgetful at times, and fails to recall the name of Zoss, her former king.[17] She seems to imitate the personality and mannerisms and even slightly alter her appearance to mimic the last speaker in a social situation.[18] Her demeanor is characterized by flights of vapid whimsy, as she is entertained by Mottom and Mammon's fighting and expresses that Allison is "cool" despite the threat she poses to the Seven; her whims also extend to spitefulness, and she displays a tendency to hold grudges over relatively inconsequential offenses. Nevertheless, she has shown a significant capacity for forethought and rational planning on certain occasions.

The capital of Gog-Agog's territory is not a world. Gog-Agog holds court in Throne, in the entertainment district known as Charnel.[19] She helps run the Circle of Strength and selects the combatants.

Gog-Agog rules and controls entertainment in Throne and is considered a major celebrity there. Outside of that, her worlds are disastrously run, her empire largely self-consuming.[20]

Gog-Agog shapeshifts into Zaid as a taunt.

As one of the Seven, Gog-Agog is extremely powerful, as even Jagganoth would have difficulty combating her were it not for her flights of fancy. Her unique physiology as a nigh-universal hive-mind renders her impossible to eradicate, as her body-mass is widely distributed in the soils, fauna, and worm-hosting acolytes of countless words. Any anthropomorphic avatar (e.g., the jester persona) at any given location represents an infinitesimal portion of her totality. Gog-Agog can change her appearance, size, and form at will, and create as may duplicates as desired, up to cosmic dimensions (such as during the battle against Jagganoth). While often depicted as being temporarily inconvenienced by the destruction of an avatar (which usually takes some time to reconstitute from writhing worms), it later becomes apparent that such theatrical displays of weakness and ineptitude are a ruse deployed by Gog-Agog to amuse herself by toying with presumptive opponents. It is probable that her seeming insanity is also a ruse, as her ageless wisdom is inscrutable to mortals with the lifespans of mayflies.

"Absolutely NO SUPPLICATION necessary. Take worm as advised. ENJOY." – Print pamphlet of unknown origin. Titled “Instructions for Worm.” (5 by 10, crudely illustrated, recycled print, est. 240 SC)

Gog-Agog's influence can be felt throughout Throne, with her stating that she has been observing Allison through her near-ubiquitous presence. By consuming the worms she offers, other beings are assimilated into Gog-Agog, allowing her to use them as additional eyes and ears to monitor the world.

Trivia[]

WcVBW

The original concept art for Gog-Agog, King of Worms.

  • Her motif is kept in various shades of green, offset in reds and whites.
  • Gog-Agog's name is one of the oldest in the comic. When Kill Six Billion Demons first began as a forum thread, Allison sported a living tramp stamp which readers could use to order her around known as the "Eye of Gog Agog".
  • Gog-Agog's name might be a reference to "Gog and Magog", two peoples from the new testament that are to marsh into war under the devil at the end of days and eventually be slain by Christ.[21]
  • Gog-Agog is the oldest member of the Seven.
  • Based some early concept art, Gog-Agog was originally intended to be male and held the title "King of Worms".[22]
  • Due to her unique physiology, she is potentially the most dangerous demiurge in a fight. Even Jagganoth would struggle against her.[23]
