Gideon Corso

Gideon Corso comes from a distant future that never came to pass and is one lingering remnant of the chronomancer Kardiff breaking the Arch of Time. The landscape and dangers in his world fluctuated on a tide of changing, shifting time and warping magic. His people called themselves Parnans, though they had long ago lost the context of the word. All he knew was they spoke the ‘old tongue’ and raised him to be strong.
But he was more than strong, he was smart, with a mind full of blades and hands that could forge wonders. He left his home when he was young, scouring the world for scraps of knowledge, and encountering great danger and great adventure along the way. He uncovered the secrets of old ruins and forgotten libraries and fought terrible creatures that had come to pick the bones of this broken world. He was a slave, a soldier, and a saint, a hero to some, and a scourge to others.
He acquired great wealth and power, and mastered many forgotten arts of magic and technology, but his thirst for knowledge could scarcely be sated by the dusty bones of this ancient world. Eventually word reached him of a buried ruin that housed a thinking machine, a sleeping wonder of old technology. If he could find it and rouse it from its slumber, who knows what it could teach him. So he packed his belongings and set out to find this place.
It was on this journey that he saw the flash of light in the sky, the energy that split the heavens and reached out to him. Before he knew what was happening he was plucked from his broken world and hurled into the distant past, finding himself in the company of powerful strangers.
As a relic of an undefined place in the history, Corso joined the Grey Order, a Patron of Magic and Master of Invention and Creation.
Corso was hand-picked by Drison at Shaed's request to join the sortie to deal with the Abomination known as Igaion. 
Corso is a problem-solver. He likes to find solutions to the issues that are set on his path and typically tries to bring forth an invention or device he has created or uncovered to use to best fit a situation. He can be regarded by others as gruff and a bit short when it comes to discussions, but he is usually either thinking of a solution to the problems at hand or a cool ass one liner to say immediately after solving the problem he figured out a minute ago.
