Notable People of Gideon
"Notable" does not implicitly mean "good".

Maat Onortsar
Born 2700 BR. Died 1000 BR.

Maat the "Heaven King," as his name is translated, was one of the few half-daemons of that time born outside Delos, instead being found as an infant by the warlord Marius Gerriott and raised as his own son. The boy quickly took to the art of warfare, becoming an accomplished general by age fifteen; he was well known for his impeccably good judgment and calm demeanor. During the Serf Uprising, he fought beside his father and the serfs, where he gained a reputation as a generous and beneficent man, giving half his wages to the impoverished of Gestalt.

He protected the capitol city of Gestalt during its reconstruction, where he ran into, fought, and eventually allied with his sworn brother Atune. Unknown to all except Atune, Maat had a son by a peasant woman named Lilyan Schiffer, a woman he had come to love a great deal, but was unallowed to marry due to the militia's (now repealed) Celibacy Law.

During the Campaign Against Baphomet, he served as Commander in Chief of the United Army of Gideon, the first army consisting of every sentient race in Gideon (later a catalyst of a great deal of trade and foreign relations). In the last days of the battle, he fought against the Devil King himself in his Diamondshard Castle. After a long-winded and close-pitched battle, Maat managed to banish Baphomet to the Ninth Hell, but not before sustaining a fatal wound from the Devil King's Soul Slayer. In his last moments, he ordered Atune to take his Twin Blades and hide them, for fear of the potential abuse, and in preparation for the Devil King's return.

The Destroyer
Born 5252 BR. Died 5200 BR. Ascended to demigodhood 5167 BR.

The Destroyer was an uncontrollably violent fighter, he stood over seven feet high and weighed in at 274 pounds of sheer muscle. He was renowned for his brutality and unshakable courage. Often were the times he would simply wade into any battle he happened upon and fight both sides at once, often soundly decimating both armies in the process. His one and only desire was his lust for battle; thousands of men fell to his blade.

A call was sent to all the lords of Gestalt to unite to destroy this inveterate foe of all Men. Everyone answered the call, and a force of over ninety thousand men were assembled. They surrounded the Destroyer and killed him; but not before he slaughtered almost two thousand men. He was sent to the Nine Hells for his crimes, but through his sheer strength, he worked his way out into the Middle Planes, where he found a means to ascend to the state of demigod. Though his influence is relatively unfelt in Gideon, he still travels the multiverse searching for new foes to fight, ever-praying for a true challenge.

Atune Shini
Born 2212 BR. Died 901 BR.

Atune was born in the Tal'orr District of Delos, one of the wealthiest districts in the whole city. He despised his birthplace, finding most of the people there detestable, snobbish, and all around rude. Instead of becoming a politician (as his parents wanted), he taught himself how to handle a blade and spear and eventually joined a group of surface merchants as a bodyguard. When he wound up on one of the many beachfront villages in Gestalt, the sole survivor of a fierce storm at sea, he wandered around for years taking odd-jobs for anyone willing to pay eventually garnering a reputation as a skilled mercenary.

He met Maat while wandering the streets of the then-ruined capitol city. Maat had heard reports of a group of bandits who were planning a raid on what was left, and mistook Atune as a scout. The two battled non-stop for nearly five days before they laid down their blades and fell to the streets in exhaustion. After that, they joined forces out of mutual respect for eachother's skills; and ended up decimating the bandits during their (admittedly failed) attempt to raid the remains of Gestalt City.

During the Campaign Against Baphomet, he served Maat as his right-hand man and sworn brother. He was the one who, under Maat's final orders, took Maat's Twin Blades and had them hidden to keep them from those who would abuse their power. He died 99 years after the end of the War, taking the secret of Maat's son with him to the grave.
