### Gideon Graves: The Time Before - 888

Legends say that there was once a Daimon of the Void who did something forbidden and was punished by having its eight souls torn from its body and exiled from their eldritch domain, cursed to walk on Earth as eight beings with no memory of their former self.

### Gideon Graves: 888 - Present

One daimon emerged from a genizah in a Jewish cemetery in Khandaq. Confused as to his identity and without purpose, the daimon was taken in by a Jewish family. Within a weeks' time, the daimon witnessed more persecution than he could tolerate against his caretakers.

After murdering seven Khandaqi soldiers that had been harassing and abusing the Jewish girls of the neighborhood and similar stands against the Khandaqi oppression of the Jews, this daimon became known as Gideon, a Hebrew name for 'a feller of foes' or 'one who cuts down'. When Khandaqi did manage to take him down, Gideon was reborn in the cemetery's genizah days later. After he came back and avenged his own death, he was accused of being a demon and so he took a boat and left.

He lived many other lives, usually choosing to reside among Jews, who were a scattered people that he could usually find in most places. Often he kept a low profile, but other times he chose to use his daimon power to benefit himself and the people fate had aligned him with. When he spent ten to twenty years in one place, he would move on so others did not catch on to his unaging appearance.

He became wealthy in Spain during its hundred years of prosperity for the Jewish citizens, until the sacking of Cordoba in the early eleventh century. Gideon was slain during the massacre that targeted Jews and he was reborn in Khandaq which was now under the reign of a more tolerant ruler, Queen Teth-Asah, who allowed Jews to hold prominent positions in her court. Gideon managed to become a chancellor.

After years of faithful service, Gideon was made an ambassador and so began a cycle of serving as ambassador to many foreign nations in Europe, India, and the Americas. As he was rarely called back to court, he used this as a chance to conceal his immortality, forging documents for a son, brother, or cousin to conveniently inherit his titles. This pattern continued even through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when Khandaq was under British rule and made part of Egypt.

However, while serving as a Polish Ambassador in 1939, Gideon was arrested by Nazi invaders. He was shipped off to a concentration camp sometime later. He turned the tables on the German captors, helped dozens of Jews escape to England, and there created a new identity for himself. Becoming caught up in the mod culture that emerged after the war, Gideon opened a nightclub called the Chaos Theatre in London and dabbled in many other business ventures - many of which were illegal.

While high at his club, Gideon realized that he was not alone. He had potent visions of others like him. He made it his personal quest to investigate this but it soon found him in the form of having Ramona Flowers approach him in his club. She helped him find the others, but this turned into an obsession for Gideon. Gideon desired nothing more than to return to their former glory and this drove Ramona away.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Gideon Graves represents the collective ambition and authority of the exiles' original self. He even claims to be the "core soul" and thus responsible for whatever behavior got them punished. Gideon may appear unassuming and subdued with his glasses, but he often dresses and acts with ostentatious flair as a power play.
* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) There are Chaos Theatre clubs in a dozen or so cities across the globe. Most are designed to look like some sort of modern-day ziggurat on the exterior and appear to have identical interior floor plans and decoration but here's the thing... There is only one Chaos Theatre. Always been one. "But, Velma, the original Chaos Theatre in London was blown! Right?" Yes... and no. The interior of his club was a pocket dimension created to help him get around the limitations of costly London real estate and when the club's physical façade was caught in the intrinsic explosion, Gideon chose to 'rebuild' in Metropolis, this time opting for the eye-catching ziggurat-inspired exterior that served as a gateway. Over the years, Gideon has created extra gateways and added glamour effects which prevent any occupants unaware of the enchantment to ignore any conversations and interactions in the club which would cause them to realize they were speaking with someone from an entirely different city or country, or even speaking a different language.
