gideon "gordon" graves

Gideon Graves from the comic Scott Pilgrim.

Gideon Gordon Graves is Ramona Flowers' seventh evil ex-boyfriend, the leader and founder of the League of Ramona's Evil Ex-Boyfriends, and the main overarching antagonist of the Scott Pilgrim series.

Little is known of Gideon Graves' origins. He eventually made his fortune by setting up a successful career as a music mogul, at which point he took the alias of "G-Man". Gideon once claimed the Glow is what has made him his millions. It is not clear, though, if this means he sold the Glow to other people, or if he used the Glow to manipulate people into buying his company's products. The latter is more likely, since Gideon is the only one who knows how to fully control the Glow.

Gideon is an epic mastermind, genius and inventor having created The Glow: a powerful, psychological weapon described as "emotional warfare" that causes those who are affected to be overwhelmed by their own personal traumas and mental hang-ups; effectively sealing them within their own minds. It accomplishes this by manipulating the Subspace within the minds of those who contract the Glow. Gideon claims that he cannot be affected by the Glow as he's "been locked in his head since the day he was born."

Gideon is also shown to be a competent fighter, and it can be assumed that swords are Gideon's weapon of choice.

As a villain, Gideon is portrayed as a stereotypical evil mastermind. He is rich, intelligent, and extremely arrogant. He is normally cool and collected and tends to plan ahead greatly. He's easily angered when his plans don't come to fruition, monologues, and is generally conniving and calmly insults his enemies, pointing out their personal flaws. He is also highly manipulative and charismatic.

In many ways Gideon is a typical case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder: he possesses a highly grandiose, idealised and very unrealistic view of himself, and reacts with extreme anger and defensiveness whenever reality even slightly contradicts his illusions. His entire perception of the world is filtered through his ego.

Gideon himself confesses that he was trapped in his head since birth and given his general ruthlessness, charismatic manipulation and intelligence, this also paints Gideon as a textbook example of high functioning sociopath.

Gideon is 31 years old. He has black hair with side swept bangs. He wears glasses. He typically dresses in a black collared shirt with a white blazer, blue jeans, and white with black striped adidas. He is 5'6" and has a slim body type.
