Gideon Thraxios

Gideon Thraxios is a Kekropian wizard who defected to Marathat to escape the Bastion. He is in a long-term relationship with Felix Harrowgate from The Virtu through to the end of The Mirador. 
==Appearance==
At least 15 years older than Felix, making him approximately 40 years old when they first meet.
In Mélusine, Mildmay describes Gideon as "a cross between a bank clerk and a choirboy" in Mélusine, while Felix says of him, "[...] He proved to be a man of medium height, slenderly built, with the bronze tone to his skin that indicated he came from the eastern end of the Kekropian Empire. His hair was dark and curly, escaping from his queue in wild tendrils; his eyes were dark and startlingly intelligent, shining like beacons out of an otherwise undistinguished, snub-nosed face. He was older than I, but I wasn't sure by how much."
In The Virtu, after being rescued in Aiaia by Mildmay, he is starved, thin, aged, is missing his tongue and several teeth. Felix describes his "[...]choirboy face gone to skull and his hair hanging in dreadlocks around his shoulders." Even once cleaned up, he never fully recovers his angelic beauty, though Felix sometimes sees the memory of it when Gideon smiles.
