From that position he was promoted to third officer (Major) onboard the Battlestar Regent of the third fleet. For conduct unbecoming a member of the senior staff he was reduced in rank to Captain. Again transferred, this time to the Battlestar Alliance, he was placed IN temporary command of the cobra interceptor squadron, black moon. After regaining the confidence of the Alliance’s Commander he was permanently placed in command of the squadron. Fleet shortages once again had him transferred to the Battlestar Pacifica, this time with an unclear position. His position is to be determined by his new Commander, Commander Powell. Gideon was born on Caprica, to a wealthy family of nobles, but he never got to experience the families role in the Caprican court of nobility, due to the cylon attack on Umbra, in which he was orphaned, along with so many other children. Fortunately he was one of the older children found wandering the forests of Umbra in the aftermath, and the trauma, was not as great as it was on the younger children. Still, the over all experience has caused him to be a loner with a bit of an additude, who keeps pretty much to himself. His additude has caused him to get involved with the wrong people sometimes, such as the people he was involved with that caused his demotion from third officer of the Regent. He is quite motivated in his fight with the cylons, and sometimes his motivation can be at the expense of his squad mates or other mission team members. Gideon is a maverick, with a short fuse just waiting to go off.
