Yep, the token bloke. (Genert, traditionally). Together, Gata, Empress Earth, Earth Witch and Genert make up the "Four Corners of the Earth Rune". I think it's defined in Wyrms Footnotes or the GoG Prosopaedia. Maiden, Mother, Crone, and -- as an afterthought, not one of the trinity -- the Father.
(There's an attractive semi-parallel with the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and -- in a different theological league, but still "worshipped" by Catholics -- the Mother of God; but I won't explore it now)
