Gideon

**Duke Gideon III of Ormiers**, colloquially known as **Gideon**, is the leader of the Resistance and is the only child of the previous Duke of Ormiers. Thanks to his status as a Fateless individual and an extended absence from the city, he does not currently bear the title of *Duke*.

## Appearance

Gideon is approximately 6' tall, with short, light brown hair and green eyes. He has stubble on his face and piercings in his ears.

## Personality

Although Gideon harbors no love for the current Duke of Ormiers, Gideon is a relatively affable person and is the "face" of the Resistance in that he takes point in the social aspects of leading the Resistance.

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Game

Gideon was born to the then-Duke of Ormiers and an unnamed concubine; his mother died when he was a toddler and his father passed on a few years later. It is unknown when he had his Vision as he kept the fact that it happened at all a secret until he was fifteen, at which point he fled the Isles with his family fortune. Following this departure, the government stripped him of his titles in absentia, and passed them onto Ephias under the alias of *Micah*.

He would later join forces with Ryder and the two would go on to lead the Resistance.

### Interactions with the Party

After the party fled from Veitium to the Ebrian Isles, they were greeted by a man who claimed to be Gideon. After causing some trouble by flirting with Sorni, the man revealed himself to be *Oberon* wearing Gideon's appearance. Eventually, Oberon would allow the real Gideon to join the conversation and discuss with the team their plans to return to Astrapolis. Although he was initially asked to travel with the party, Gideon declined and instead insisted on Chae and Lucius going in his stead.

Some time later, Gideon would seek assistance from the Kingdom of Trafarna on behalf of the Resistance and, although he initially balked at the idea of the Ebrian Isles becoming a Trafarnese protectorate, he relents and agrees to the deal.

When the Royal Court sent the military to assist with the Resistance's endeavors, Gideon was part of the envoy that greeted Chae and the Prince; however, once everyone was settled into the Resistance's headquarters, Gideon would attempt to form plans and strategies without Chae and Theo. Upon learning this, Chae engaged Gideon in a physical altercation and, in response, Gideon "grounds" Chae.
