Hero Overview

Now we finish this thing. We're the only ones who can stop Irons from launching Manticore.
~ Gideon to Mitchell and Ilona in "Terminus".
If you need a job done right, regardless of the risk, Gideon is your man. Captain Gideon turns recruits into advanced soldiers at Atlas. For him, it’s more than just outfitting grunts with the latest gear. It’s turning them into the best soldiers in the world.
~ Gideon's description on the Call of Duty website.
Necessary? The attack on America? Unleashing Manticore? Killing thousands of innocent people?!
~ Gideon to Irons during their final conflict.

Captain Gideon is the deuteragonist of the 2014 video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and appears in the real-time strategy game Call of Duty: Heroes. He was the field commander of Jonathan Irons' corporation, the Atlas Corporation, later operative of the Sentinel Task Force and ally of the game's main protagonist, Jack Mitchell.

He is the companion of Jack Mitchell after Will Irons' death, and despite not liking Mitchell at first, the two would become close friends through their service with Atlas. After Ilona showed him and Mitchell the video on Jonathan Irons, he still remained part of Atlas, ignoring her and Mitchell. However, he went to Sentinel Task Force later on, realizing that Ilona and Mitchell were right. Gideon assisted Mitchell, Ilona, Cormack, Knox, and Kingpin upon Atlas' defeat and the death of Irons although Cormack and Knox lost their lives against Atlas.

He is voiced and motion captured by Gideon Emery, who also voiced Balthier in the Final Fantasy series, John Connor in the Terminator: Salvation tie-in video game, Poseidon in the God of War series, Steve Fox in the Tekken series, Henry Blackburn in Battlefield 3, Laurence Nelson in The Wonderful 101, Zoo Lou in Skylanders, Carlos Oliveira in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, and Fergus Reid in MachineGames' Wolfenstein series.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Gideon was born in August of 2025 in the United Kingdom, and eventually became a soldier for the Atlas Corporation, a private military corporation. Gideon rose to the rank of captain, becoming the field commander for Atlas' founder and CEO, Jonathan Irons. During his service for Atlas, he became good friends with operators Joker, and later the former Spetsnaz Ilona. Though willing to use advanced technology, equipment, and weaponry, Gideon believes it's the soldier who makes it useful.

Advanced Warfare[]

Gideon first appears in "Induction", leading a small Atlas team to protect a high valued target in Seoul, Korea. He interacts with a U.S. Marine group lead by Cormack, and tells them to go to a different direction.

When Mitchell is recruited to Atlas by Irons, Gideon initially dislikes him, and refers to the marine as "rookie". He takes Mitchell through basic training, and later leads the team through saving the Nigerian president, saving the technologist, and attempting to stop the KVA from destroying the Seattle power plant.

After the KVA causes mass destruction, Gideon and Mitchell become better friends, and are able to capture Dr. Dainos, Hades' scientist in Detroit. In addition, Gideon was also part of the team that were sent to assassinate Hades, which was succeeded by Mitchell. In "Utopia", Gideon and Mitchell learn from Ilona that Irons knew of Hades' plans to destroy the power plant from the Technologist, but he executed him. Gideon is in disbelief, and stays with Atlas to gather more info as Mitchell and Ilona escape with Sentinel.

Gideon realizes the truth of Irons' actions, and decides to defect with Sentinel, as shown in "Crash". After saving Cormack, Ilona, and Mitchell from Michaels and Juarez, he reveals he knows of bio lab that his holding Manticore. Despite the mistrust between Cormack and Gideon, they earn each other's respect after destroying the Manticore labs, and destroying the weaponized tank.

Gideon and Mitchell are sent to stop Atlas from destroying the U.S. Naval fleet, after Irons declared war against the world at the United Nations. Despite succeeding in doing so, many people are killed, and the Golden Gate Bridge is destroyed in the process. Years pass, with Sentinel and the entire world fighting against Atlas, with Irons hiding in New Baghdad. The team attack Atlas headquarters, but is stopped when Manticore is unleashed on the soldiers, with Gideon, Ilona, Mitchell, and Cormack being the only survivors.

Taking to the Atlas prison camp, the group escape as Cormack dies from Irons' gunshot wound. Gideon inspires Mitchell and Ilona to stop Irons from launching Manticore across the world, and he and Mitchell don Goliath suits to destroy the Manticore rockets. The duo make it to Irons, but he disables their exo suits, but Mitchell is able to get out of his, and is able to kill Irons. Gideon helps up an injured Mitchell, and the two leave the headquarters and presumably continued to fight against Atlas.

Exo Survival[]

In Exo Survival, Gideon appears in the cutscene on the map Riot when zombies appear, picking up the player and asking them are they alright. After doing so, Gideon looks out at the prison to see it swarming with zombies, and is pulled out of the helicopter by one of them.

Quotes[]

~ Gideon to Mitchell.
This is it. Only way we survive this is by keeping out heads. Wait for an opportunity.
