Gibeon (Japanese: ギベオン Gibeon) is the boss of the Explorers and the main antagonist of Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

History

Gibeon was mentioned for the first time in The Treasure After the Storm!, when Hamber questioned Amethio about the results of his mission.

Gibeon communicating with Explorers leaders

In The Ancient Poké Ball, Gibeon appeared communicating with his Admins regarding Amethio's mission to Roy's hometown. Believing that Amethio did not carry out his mission properly, he dismissed him and sent Spinel to investigate the Rising Volt Tacklers. When all the members left the meeting, Hamber and Gibeon realized that they had finally found their true purpose.

In HZ025, Gibeon contacted Hamber during the events in Galar. After the battle ended, Hamber was seen talking to Gibeon again by the monolith, informing him that events had finally begun to move again. Gibeon, in response, expressed that their wishes would soon come true.

In HZ034, Amethio sought an audience with Gibeon following his mission with the Black Rayquaza in the previous episode. Gibeon, awakening, spoke to Amethio about the battle and inquired how he felt while fighting Rayquaza. After Amethio claimed that he felt Rayquaza was not taking the battle seriously, Gibeon suggested that it was either testing him or toying with him, then informed Amethio that Rayquaza and Terapagos were the keys to his paradise, Rakua.

Character

Little of Gibeon's true character is currently known. From what has been shown, he is a calm, detached leader, mostly delegating the day-to-day work of running the Explorers to Hamber. He tends to only get involved when events directly relating to his dream take place, and is pragmatic in managing his resources at these times, as seen by his replacing Amethio with Spinel on the mission to obtain the pendant. When he discovered Hamber, Amethio, Coral, and Sidian's actions in Galar, he immediately contacted Hamber; however, he later let their insubordination go due to the value of the intelligence they had gathered. It's alluded to that Gibeon in the past was someone who always sought to be the most powerful, which led him to increasingly greater positions and achievements.

Gibeon's subordinates hold him in high, almost reverential regard, typically referring to him as "Master Gibeon," behaving in a highly deferential way when in his presence, and identifying the Explorers as "only existing to fulfill" his wishes. His followers must specifically seek out time when they wish to speak to him, for which he "awakens" until he chooses to conclude that subordinate's audience with him.
