Pepsico is a character of the Invisible Cities gesta, also called Casimiro (Casemiro) in some contexts; his definitive name is unconfirmed. He takes part in the rescue of Luca at Tovag Baragu and in the Pleroma ritual of Zaira. On his link with the group in Antiterra and the Deep Ones, see Henri.
Across gestas
The Archive associates him with three gestas: Invisible Cities, LIB (Antiterra, 1784) and CFA (about 1901).
- Bridge: between Invisible Cities (1300/1494) and Les Libertateurs lie “these 300 years.”
- Hierophant: he fulfills the prophecy and becomes hierophant of the garden where things have no names, a vampire-cleric of the black sun.
- Eagle: a tiefling druid bound to the bald eagle of the future republic.
- Death: he dies hanged in the Kraken’s grotto; the pirate Vika carries off his body.
- CFA (unresolved): he reappears in the Cairo-Venice-Fiji arc: captivity of the Sphinx, a sapphire ring, the Ione Coin and a nascent divinity, and his double Neil Bluford on Terra. An open divergence names him a prisoner of Lucifer’s world.
