Gideon — zombiesplusworkshop

For alternate versions of Gideon, see their character hub.

“A capable and efficient soldier, Gideon is not to be undermined or provoked as his training makes short work of those who provoke him. Formerly a freelance mercenary under Victorian Arms CEO Mrs. T, he became an Atlas security contractor in 2124 and currently holds the rank of Captain.”

―Atlas Dossier, Level 5 Clearance

Captain Gideon is the commanding officer of Atlas Security Service's Elite Division. He also provides Techno with occasional combat assessments for each of its members.

Gideon appeared in the 2025 film Futuristic Midnight and its 2026 sequel Futuristic Twilight. Gideon Emery reprises the role from 2014's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare through motion capture, voice and likeness.

Background

Origins

Gideon was born in August 2025 in an unknown universe. By 2059 at age 34, Gideon was a Captain of the Atlas Corporation before he was displaced into Earth-52319 through a Time Displaced Mirror.^[1]

Life in the Arc 3 Universe

Atlas Contractor

Gideon arrived in Earth-52319 on August 25th, 2119. Undeterred by his current predicament, Gideon made the most of his situation and became a mercenary, working for Mrs. T for five years before he split ties with her and found work as a security contractor for Atlas International, serving for the next 13 years. In 2137, the Atlas Security Service was created; for his outstanding combat record, Gideon was transferred to its Elite Division and became its commanding officer, regaining his previous title of Captain.^[1]

The Original Paradox

Within the contained events of the Arc 3 Timeline Loop, Atlas International was the first to respond to the crisis occurring on Paradise Island and Gideon would be the commanding officer of Atlas Security Forces sent to New Elpis, personally overseeing the evacuation of the Hypercenter Mall.^[2]

Assessing Techno Members

On October 6th, 2143, shortly after Techno became a P.A.R.A.D.O.X. subdivision, Gideon was selected by Melissa Anders to provide assessment and additional training for each of the group's members, both current and future. Gideon would test each member based on their individual skills and combat prowess through specialist training courses.^[1]
