NAME- Gideon Gal-Calev Aldaric ibn al Dossari Wolfgang
■ ■ Gideon has two middle names and two last names, granted Gal-Calev comes from the name of the male and female twins his mother lost in a miscarriage; Gal and Calev. Aldaric is the original name given to all Gideon Aldaric Wolfgangs before him, and had his name been exactly the same as all the others, he would have been Gideon Aldaric Wolfgang VI. Ibn al Dossari is a surname from his mother's side of the family, as his mother was originally of Arabic decent, hailing from the region which is now known as Saudi Arabia. Wolfgang is the surname passed down to him by his father.

NICKNAME(S)- Those who are extensively intimate with him, as in sexual/romantic partners or friends and family, have often referred to him as Giddy or Wolfers. Those who he is comfortably associated with, but are not necessarily companions, are permitted to call him Al or Wolf.

AGE- Gideon is twenty-eight years old; that would be XXVIII in roman numerals.

GENDER- Gideon has been born with an XY chromosome, and has only male genitalia, thus he is biologically male, and identifies himself as such.

RANK- Yesterday, he was the Black Knight of the Kingdom of Dracolyn. Today, he is a prisoner of war.

SKIN COLOR- Depending on the time of the year and the season, his skin ranges from the spectrum of mildly pale to a tanned pigment.

EYE COLOR- Gideon has been born with a genetic mutation, and whilst in the past, it almost got him burned at the stake on account of being called a warlock, his eyes are now considered a desirable trait. His left eye is doused in blue, with a random hue of brown and green. His right eye is predominantly blue as well, with green and turquoise accenting random places.

HAIR COLOR- Gideon wields a full head of naturally curly dark locks, pigmented a dark pigment of brown. In the warmer seasons, his hair gets lighter and is predominantly a mid-spectrum brown, albeit in the winter and fall months, his hair is a midnight brown that creates an illusion of black, albeit in years to come, with the introduction of scientific enlightenment, it will be learned that black hair does not exist.

BODY TYPE- Gideon has a build which could be described as very "shoulder centric;" his shoulders are broad and he has a very tight, lean waist packed with muscle. His physique is, essentially, a mixture between the generalised 'ectomorph' and 'mesomorph.' Muscular but lean; heavy but stealthy. Gideon stands at an imposing six feet and five inches, weighing in at approximately two-hundred and fifteen pounds. Much of this can be accounted by muscle mass and bone density.

HAIR STYLE- Gideon's hair is naturally curly, and the longer it gets, the more noticeable that fact becomes.

CLOTHING- As a prisoner, Gideon is adorned in loose-fitting, tattered clothing. While he was spared his leather pants and boots, and his loose-fitting white shirt, his clothes become increasingly of poorer quality for lack of care, which merely reflects his mental and physical health at the moment.

[hr]ON THE INSIDE ?[hr]

PERSONALITY- Gideon is the Devil in Erik Larson's White City; he's the nefarious impurity lurking beneath an appearance of immaculacy -- an epitome of appearance versus reality. He promises you the earth and the stars with one face and whittles away at wills and inhibitions with the other. The most rewarding thing at the end of the day is to watch the skies of his enemies come crashing and burning down and the rug of their earth yanked from beneath their feet. He has no regard for good or for evil -- no need for the usual vices and virtues of humanity. Where others see fate and patterns, morality and honour, gods and righteousness, he sees only lies stretched over mayhem, and plays with them like a child playing cat’s cradle. He has ice in his veins, hate in his heart, love on his mind, chaos in his right hand, and the heart of his enemies in his other. He may 'hate' or he may 'love,' albeit only in unconventional ways unbound from traditional emotion. He is neither gentle nor kind, except for in the most terrible of ways. Sure, in an instant he may incinerate valuable relations or entirely break a person, but at least he feels like he is in control; like the master of his own universe.

Gideon wields a tongue coated in silver, and the precious metal is tainted by his natural thirst for blood and the sadism that drives his will. His indulgence of the flesh begets split sinews, where he spills blood for the sake of making someone bleed. Heinous crimes and borderline psychopathic tendencies are reserved for his enemies, whilst his loyalty to a select few remains and always will be unwavering unless he is given a solid reason to do so otherwise. In all his years of service, it is known among his colleagues and employers that he has never told a lie to them and has never been ultimately disloyal. No such things can be said for those he holds little to no care for, but he makes room for interpersonal relationships in exchange for a soul to torment. Whilst his upbringing was not all that favourable, he has been forced into a fate not uncommon in this era, yet rose to have an honour not granted to many but to a select few in a line of generations. Yet still, he insists on exploiting anything and everything, all and everyone.

It all starts with the impulse to burn everything and everyone to the ground, and where does one go from there? Gideon can be a machine of a man, who's foundations consist of black & white; there are no grey areas -- no in-betweens. Gideon's true love is control. He has taken the role of anti-hero and does so like no other can. Contrary to popular belief, in times where he is assumed to be a sociopath, Gideon contains a sense of empathy and is capable of maintaining relatively normal relationships; he ultimately understands the strife he puts people through when he enacts on his impulse, albeit he just doesn't care who gets hurt in the process. He has had a vast history of executing frivolous, vexing, and malicious actions, especially (but not extensively) against those whom have managed to do him (or someone held in his high regards, by extension) wrong. Only after he feels he has lost control can the full depth of his destructive behaviour be fathomed and the consequences calculated with depth. Misfortunately for those associated, he tends to enact his rage on those he finds most important in the most vulnerable of his moments. To love and be favoured by him is the cruelest fate anyone could endure, for his indulgence of the flesh is as painful as it is pleasurable.

There is a violent, foreboding grace to him that commands undivided attention and respect when he walks into a room. People follow him blindly like sheep and only those who endure and survive come as wolves. Even as a prisoner, he has a withstanding charisma and charm, even in the wake of torture and health-depleting injuries. His moods come and go like the tides, and no one can decide whether it is his charm or his cold fury that surprises them the most. Sociopathic to a degree, the matter is debatable, but he is adherent to a certain principle of love; love is none other than an illusion, and anyone who believes in it is a fool. He admits that he feels strongly of certain persons and objects, but 'love' isn't a word he often uses in his vocabulary unless he utters it as a means for manipulation. Lies are, after all, his mother tongue. He enjoys the beauty of women, but what is in them as a human being is irrelevant to him. His love is most generous where it is most hurtful. He may be destructive or merry, precise or bacchanalian, dealing out death or candy or all at once, but he is never, ever tame.

HISTORY- Gideon was born into noble blood in a neighbouring kingdom by the title of Dracolyn, the signature banner being that of two dragons crawling along the sides of a building, and the words 'War is our game and blood is our curse.' Gideon was born to A'lia al Dossari and Gideon Wolfgang V. Gideon the Fifth was a trusted duke and a friend of the king that ruled over the first few years of Gideon's life, albeit was overthrown when Gideon turned six and chaos reigned for another two years before an enemy king returned order to the lands. In the course of the two years, where laws were not regulated and food was not being produced or imported, Gideon lost his mother and father in the chaos. His father died during the overthrowing of the king, and the songs sung about Gideon the Brave tell a legend of his father being valiant and fearless even in the wake of death all to protect his king and best friend. His mother died approximately half a year after the king was killed, and she went slowly, this much he knew. Gideon, himself, was hiding beneath the bed of his chambers while his mother was raped by enemy soldiers, and while he saw no gory details, he could hear enough to create an imagination that became burned in his skull.

He made his escape through the window, sliding down the slanted roof to the safety of the ground before running off into the vast gardens of their estate, and eventually into the woods. He lived in the capital, albeit ended up in a thief town near the outskirts after a few weeks of travelling on foot and wagon, often hitching wagon rides by sneaking unto the cargo of a merchant. The city of Somnus was called as such because it was an obscure city forever shrouded in sleep -- in oblivion and ignorance. He lived their for the majority of his childhood, getting by via stealing, and as he grew, he often resorted to killing. He made father figures with multiple unsavoury men, who taught him numerous forms of combat from around the globe, and heard more than his fair share of stories of their travels. He had whores for mothers, and even after their nights of pleasing countless men, he wasn't above paying them visits and simply talking to them in the late hours of the night and the early hours of the morning, and he developed friendships with many of the woman of the brothels, and often became their go-to guy when they faced trouble with a client who had treated them to roughly or had refused to pay.

Gideon was seventeen when the new King arrived in the city of Somnus, and nearly the entire city suddenly became quiet and well-behaved even, begot from the arrival of a king in a city where noblemen never took steps. Upon the king's arrival, Gideon was lying in an alleyway, wrapped in a tattered blanket he had acquired years ago when he was younger, and thus the blanket hardly covered him sufficiently. And by chance, he was spotted and the king took an interest in him for reasons unknown and woke him with a harsh kick to his knee. Gideon was an insignificant specimen when the king found him, but apparently Gideon resembled a son the king had lost, and that was why he took a liking toward him at all. Gideon was forced into a job as the king's squire. Gideon could barely remember the privileged life he lived when his parents were alive, but he didn't want to go back, regardless of whether he could remember or not. He had found several new mothers and fathers in that city, friends, even a girlfriend here and there, and he wasn't ready to leave the dirty, poor city, no matter how hard life was. But it was not his choice but the king's, and he was forced into the same carriage of the king and lived in the same tent as the king, poured his liquor, served his bread, and tended to his horses all the way back to the capital of Valiira.

Gideon was promoted to knighthood during a war, in which they were ambushed in the midst of the night in their camps, and Gideon saved one of the king's other surviving sons as well as his wife, who had tagged along on her own accord. From then on, Gideon became part of the King's Guard, consisting of the Black Knight, the White Knight, the Red Knight, and the Blue Knight. Gideon scaled the ranks and made it to the top position of Black Knight by the time he was 22. He wore black and gold proudly for years, but a happenstance battle between Dracolyn and Istrcil for border control, and of course while Istrcil, as a city, was no match for the entire Kingdom of Dracolyn, Gideon was compromised when he received a cut to the leg which immobilised him a great deal. Himself along with another knight were lost, albeit while that knight was killed, he was taken as prisoner of war -- perhaps to show Dracolyn that they had stolen one of their most prized protectors. Gideon knows Dracolyn will not risk anything to retrieve one person, even if the king saw him as a soon. He does know, however, that he wants to go home and that he'll do anything in his power to escape.
