Gideon wears a maroon/red robes, trimmed and decorated with gold geometric patterns, taking after a dwarven pattern.

They are often slightly misfit and a little baggy.

Personality
Gideon is an old, arrogant, snobby rich man.

Due to his age, Gideon is slightly out of it, and tends to be a little rude to others, stating his thoughts with zero filter.

History

He endured many hardships during this many year transitional period, including long term food insecurity. During this time, he met his future wife, Gwenevere Aurum

Gideon was the original founder of Aurumburg, and, of course, named the town after himself.
