## Biography

Born on November 1903, Gordon grew up around a bustling new type of America, with all kinds of new experiences everywhere you went. New cultures to experience, new foods to try, new people to meet, all in the diverse city of Naperville. Gordon would frequent a music store and listen to whatever was usually playing. The shop owner there waited for him every Friday with a candy bar, and they would sit down and talk about their day, while he put on song after song. One day, Gordon came in to buy some cigarettes for his father, and noticed that the music that was in the shop was entirely new. He froze in place, entranced by it's incredible sound, and the shopkeeper seemed to notice.

"Hey Gordon, you like this song?"

"Like it? It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!"

"When i ordered it from the post office they sent me two on accident, I was going to throw it out, but would you like it? It'll probably work on your father's gramophone!"

"You'd give it to me?"

"Of course! Anything for my favorite customer!"

Gordon left the shop with a pack of cigarettes, some chocolate, and a brand new record, a giant smile plastered on his face. As soon as he got home, he presented the disc to his parents, and his father began playing it on the gramophone. That was the day Gordon decided his destiny.

As time passed and he graduated high school, he still held onto his dream, and joined a class for classical music study, where he met Nathan Bouvergard, his dorm mate. They both had quite the fancy for orchestrated music, and made it their life goal to be the men that brought it back into it's deserved light. They graduated from college, and began working to make the symphony's nobody knew they wanted, but then the great depression hit. The Auditorium could no longer pay the people wanting to play, and lost it's funding, sending them spiraling down into bankruptcy.

Nathan decided that they can't continue in these circumstances, and that the future showed no signs of improving, so he was out. The two bickered and argued for weeks, Gordon saying that his promise meant nothing, and that he was a weak man for giving up so simply. They eventually got into a scuffle, and Nathan had enough. He shoved Gordon away, and said that their dream was dead, and there was nothing either of them could do. Nathan left that evening with the only light coming from the stage, before closing the door behind him, leaving Gordon alone.

Weeks had passed, and Gordon's situation was becoming dire. He could no longer pay his own money to keep the Orchestra afloat, and it was shut down indefinitely. Gordon was heartbroken, lost, and was beginning to succumb to his own depression. He used the last money in his wallet to buy a revolver, and promptly shot himself on the stage during his "Final Performance".

Several decades later, Nathan Lied in his hospital bed suffering with Cardiac Sarcoma, awaiting his wife's arrival to say what could possibly be his final goodbye. The room began to shake and shudder, televisions flashed and glitched with horrifying monsters, mouths taking up their whole face, and the word "QUITTER" was written on every piece of paper, diagram, and even spelled out on his heart monitor. Gordon rose from the floor, and welcomed Nathan to his Grand Encore, for it would be the last event he ever would go to. The old man pleaded, and begged for mercy,

"Oh, oh Gordon I'm so sorry, I never should've left. I thought that we would be stuck in an impoverished hellhole, and I didn't want that future for us! If I had known things would get better I would've stayed!"

Gordon leaned forward and whispered,

"Nathan, things never *GOT* better."

before subjecting him to a final symphony, filled with everyone who had passed during the great depression. Nathan's grand sendoff to an afterlife unknown. Nathan's wife walked into his hospital room, and shrieked with terror, seeing Nathan's contorted smile, and rushed over to him, noticing a piece of paper on his lap. The paper read,

***"NOBODY LIKES A QUITTER."***

Now Gordon haunts the theater and auditorium for the rest of time, and ruins any concert that isn't classical.

## Trivia

* He noticed the decline of classical music during the 20s, due to Jazz becoming much more popular, and despises all other kinds of music.
* He is one of the only characters in PWNage to be able to use "realistic" eyes (The others are Nicholas Greyfeather, Boss, Satan, Malice, and Kla'taar)
* He knows how most modern technology works, but still finds it fascinating.
* If Gordon was an animal, he'd be a loon.
* His original name was Peter Poltergeist, then Peter Phantom, then Gordon Ghost, until he was finalized as Gordon P. Poltergeist.
* Even though he is considered a Villain to Aiden, he considers him as more of an acquaintance than someone trying to stop him. This is probably because Aiden does not really care about the sanctity of "Some dumb theater.".
* Nathan wound up going to hell after his death for desertion, him ultimately being the reason for Gordon's suicide.
