Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius (Japanese: ゲーチス・ハルモニア・グロピウス G-Cis Harmonia Gropius) is one of the Seven Sages and the true mastermind behind Team Plasma.
He is notable for being the only crime syndicate executive from the main series of Pokémon games who serves as the final trainer of the game, as opposed to the usual Champion. Unlike previous crime syndicate executives, Ghetsis is not fully loyal to Team Plasma's goal, instead manipulating N, his adoptive son, to use Team Plasma for his own selfish purpose to be the only trainer left in the world with Pokémon, thus granting himself the power to become a dictator.
He maintains the guise of a loyal servant to N and a herald of Team Plasma's utopia, one where humans release their Pokémon. In actuality, however, Ghetsis manipulated N his whole life and groomed him to be Team Plasma's king, using N's plan to release all Pokémon to become the only person in all of Unova to have control over Pokémon, ensuring his domination over the entire region.
Two years later, Ghetsis returns as the mastermind behind Neo Team Plasma, which is now fully dedicated to Ghetsis' plan to rule over Unova. Attempting to conquer the region through force, Ghetsis awakens the legendary Pokémon Kyurem, to freeze Unova into submission. Cornered within the Giant Chasm, Ghetsis uses the DNA Splicers on N's Reshiram/Zekrom to transform his Kyurem into White Kyurem/Black Kyurem in a final attempt to take what he believes he is owed for himself.

While Jet was looking thru Trudy's profiles on her smartpad, he came across Ghetsis, the overlord of Unova, as Lizzie and her half-sister Beth defeated him twice. N was grateful for the two of them, defending him from his tyranny and proving a positive example that humans and Pokémon can coexist. Ghetsis was presumably killed as Kyurem, his subject, got the best of him.
