Gideon
Coat of Arms: A black panther with green eyes, upon a field of green, rampant.
Gideon's trump description: A sturdy looking man stands before a facade of crumbling ruins. His booted foot is raised upon the base of a fallen pillar and in his hands he carries a short staff topped with the basalt head of a jaguar. He looks toward the viewer with green eyes, smiling faintly as if pleased to see company in this lonely place. He is dressed in loose dark cotton, silver designs woven into the cloth as decoration. His hair is dark and long and he sports a short goatee on his well tanned face. Near his throat there a flash of green silk. A useful looking leather belt covered with pouches crosses his chest.
Personality: Gideon is private and introspective, or at least seems to actively cultivate that impression. When he is not stalking deer or worse in Arden, he spends a good deal of time quietly reading the Amber library. Gideon seems to have some personal reservations with social events and has avoided many of the Amber balls and ceremonies he has been invited too. While pleasant and polite enough, he is not quick to make friends and some people have taken this distance as something like arrogance. When encountered hunting or exploring, Gideon seems much more at ease to the few who have met him that way.
Known relationships: Along with Julian, the Rangers of Arden are very familiar with Gideons presence in the woods. He often brings his kills back and offers them up for the Rangers consumption. Gideon has a small estate that is just barely within the confines of Arden proper. It's shared with one of Julian's outposts and Gideon happily allows the Rangers to relax in his large hunting room.
Gideon has had very few public signs of romance or love. The lone standout has been a very dignified and beautiful older woman whom he has been seen escorting through Amber on several occasions.
Physical attributes: Gideon is of slightly taller than average height, possessing a lean and compact frame. While graceful enough, he's not extraordinary in comparison to his peers. He does seem to possess a quality of unnatural stillness about him, a sense of energy waiting to be released.
His normal dress is as described in his trump, sometimes even in amusingly inappropriate situations. It has taken Flora several nagging rants to get Gideon to wear anything resembling formal clothing. Gideon has since worn a tuxedo to a single party thrown by Flora and despite her fawning pleasure at the results he has been reluctant to reappear with it. His hair is a long and dark brown, his eyes are a deep green. On top of his normal tan, Gideon's skin is naturally a light olive tone.
Casting: Oded
.Fehr.Unique items: Gideon has taken to carrying around a short staff, perhaps just over a meter and a half in length. The staff is topped with the stylized head of a jaguar carved from basalt. Bright green jade eyes rest in the jaguars head. The staff itself is of dark and smooth wood, with hints of red in its knots and whirls.
Gideon has been seen hunting with a recurved bow bearing the same head and made from similar material.
