Lady Gisela is Keefe's mother and Lord Cassius's wife. She was the leader of the Neverseen until Fintan Pyren took over. She used her ability as a polyglot to imitate Lord Cassius to make people think he was one of the leaders of the Neverseen. This worked until Keefe knocked her hood off on Mount Everest, revealing that it was her, not Lord Cassius, who was a leader of the Neverseen.
She can control animals with her voice. She is arguably the most powerful polyglot the Lost Cities has ever known and has had hundreds of years of practice. She controlled the arthropleura during the attempted rescue of Prentice from Exile in Neverseen.
