Childhood
- Born in Brissaud, 269 AC, Gideon Hackett breathed his first breaths. Born heir-apparent to the Reverend Jon Hackett and his wife Tabatha, Gideon's early life was anything but uneventful. As a child he developed a mean streak, and an early leaning towards cruelty.
- As a boy, Gideon was passed around to various family members during his primary education, most of his studies leaning towards religion and the synod due to his father's wish for him to join the church.
- Not long after his fifteenth birthday, Gideon left home and enrolled in the School of Drixon in defiance of his family's original wishes. The three years that followed were full of hardship and strife, in which Gideon made few friends at the school. During that time, he gained a wide reputation for bloodlust in his sparring and training exercises.
- He was eventually deployed in the Chrysant War, returning with a new invigorated spirit, serving subsequently in the Ranger Crisis four years later, as well as the First Elven War that followed.
- The next several years proved relatively quiet for Gideon, resigned to basic patrol duties until the outbreak of the Bone Horror Crisis, in which he was relegated to exterminating the pests as the Lo Occupation drew nearer.
- In 305 AC, he ended up returning to the city of Regalia for the first time since the end of the Elven war, staying with his cousins in House Laine. A few weeks into his arrival in Regalia, he gained the same reputation that he did in his school days: cold, arrogant, and tightfisted.
- Despite this, his silver tongue managed succeeded in working his way into the circles of some of the more prominent families in the city. However, he rapidly made enemies during his stay, resulting in a turn of his fortunes after the death of his cousin and the collapse of House Laine.
- In the next several months, Gideon was cast adrift, bouncing from employer to employer. He would end up in the service of multiple noble families, eventually attaining a position as a captain in the Ravenstad guard, and even attaining a position of minor power within the family itself before that scheme too ultimately proved fruitless.
- As of 307 AC, he entered the service of Von Rahm as their chief cavalry commander through the Second Elven War. After the plague crisis and the fall of Fort Purity, Gideon ended up leaving the city once more, retreating briefly to the Ithanian countryside.
