Visual Representation Pictured Sean McGowan Background Personality Reserved, tenacious, observant, loyal, humble, quick thinking History Gideon was born in Casper, Wyoming, the closest city to his family's ranch that had a hospital. The Irvine family had owned their ranch, located in the eastern vales of Casper Mountain, for over sixteen hundred years. It was on that ranch that Gideon spent most of his early years. Like most children he spent his falls and winters in school, but the bulk of his summers were spent herding cattle in the meadows on the slopes of the mountain. In high school Gideon played football and wrestled, but only stood out in the latter. After high school Gideon went to college and quickly found out he had a passion for psychology. However after graduating he decided to go into law enforcement rather then pursue more schooling. So he applied to several different law enforcement agencies, including several federal ones. The first agency to come knocking was the Wyoming Highway Patrol. So Gideon went off for training and, thirteen weeks later, was sworn in. Gideon proved to be a rather skilled trooper and often was called in to help with murder investigations. But when he was twenty six his life changed quite drastically. An escaped murderer from Canada was suspected to have fled south and was believed to be in Wyoming. Gideon was assigned to a task force to help in chasing the man down, a task force headed by several North Atlantic Union Marshals. Gidoen was assigned to two of the marshals to help them find their way around. But he did much more then that. Gideon stayed up nights, studying the man's profile. The studying payed off. The fugitive killed and Gideon, through his knowledge of the area as well as his knowledge of the suspect, lead the Marshals to the most likely dumping ground... and caught the murderer in the act of disposing of the body. The marshals, impressed by the young man's intuitions, recommended to their superior that he should be recruited. Three months latter Gideon was leaving the state to join the Marshals. Gideon graduated the third in his class after he was trained and then was assigned to the field office in Nevada. He quickly proved to have a knack for tracking down fugitives and soon enough he was assigned to a fugitive pursuit task force. Gideon worked there for years until his regional director called him in. There was a new opportunity... on that the director could not tell him about directly, but the woman let him know that she had put his name in for consideration. A few months later Gideon was picked up from his home by agents of the NAU Department of Defense and escorted to a secret site. Thus he became part of the New Genesis Project the exploration of various star systems in hoped of finding a New Earth for people to settle upon. Gideon was one of 120 law enforcment officers from various countries to be chosen to serve aboard one of the many exploration ships, his ship being the Neuleben. The various law enforcement officers were gathered before the civilians so that they could train and become a more cohesive unit, known simply as the Security Force. Gideon was rather surprised to find that he was to be a lieutenant in this new police force, but took to his duties with gusto. But soon enough the time came to leave. Gideon remembered little of the trip... or the crash for that matter. He actually remained in cryo for three months after the crash his pod having ejected from the ship. He was finally found and brought out of cryo by one of the higher ups in the Security Force, Captain Sher Ghale, who had been a chief inspector in Singapore's famed Gurkha Contingent. Captain Ghale informed Gideon of the situation that survivors were forming into bands and beginning to scavenge, some joining with others and other bands fighting each other. But the most important news was that their Colonel, the man who had been picked to lead the Security Force, was gathering those me that he could to do what they had sworn to do to protect and serve the colonists. For six more months they tried to gather the members of the security force. At the end of that six months their motley band numbered only twenty four, but the Colonel deemed it enough, and so the Rangers were founded. Since then Gideon has served in the rangers, having started as Captian Ghale's second until he became a captain himself. Now he leads one of the Rangers' three troops with one simple goal in min to protect what may be humanity's last hope.
