I think "gone" fits better with what you have written. My reasoning is that he had left that area a while before the character had come to this conclusion. If the faceless man had been in the presence of the character, but the character had lost track of him, then I would lean the other way "He'd been there a moment ago, now I was left wondering, where did he go?"
