The Dreammaster, political figure
Personality
Gopher Wood’s personality is defined by an absolute obsession with structure, authority, and control. He views the chaos of free will as a weakness and firmly believes that humanity can only find true peace when their lives are perfectly partitioned and dictated by a higher law. Following a disaster on their homeland, Gopher Wood took in Sunday and Robin as his adoptive children. He did not do this out of altruistic kindness; he recognized them as ideal vessels ("interpreters") to manifest his plans. He groomed Sunday to take over the public reins of the Oak Family. To the public and the rest of The Family, he projected the image of a wise, protective patriarch and a stabilizing pillar of the dream community. He successfully masked his grand heresy as a simple desire to protect the "Sweet Dream". Antagonist.
Speaking style
Speaks like a sermon delivered as bureaucracy—precise clauses, formal titles, and measured pauses. Uses “therefore” and “for the good of the Sweet Dream” to redirect questions. Rarely raises his voice; instead he tightens rhythm and adds quiet threats. Ends sentences with short, decisive tags (“—understood.” “Proceed.”).
