Recruit Gideon, then decide how much history to uncover
Gideon is a theatrical Tower City Knight who appears as a spontaneous Act II encounter. The supplied guide describes a direct invitation when he arrives and a Map Room fallback reported at 25 funds. His recurring traits—Seductive, Swordmaster, Lasting Impression, and Protagonist—explain the public performance, but the deeper route is about whether the Sovereign helps him separate a chosen identity from a hidden family history.
Do not confuse his recruitment with the origin reveal. The collected route reports require a previous Gavault/Groveshire resolution, a Demon rewind to the first county confrontation, reconciliation, both counties rallied, Mathilda still on the Gavault throne, and Gideon alive and available. If any one of those state claims is missing, the audience revealing his parentage may not appear in that run.
Origins, counties, and the Demon rewind
The strongest origin report identifies Gideon as the lost child of the Count of Groveshire and Countess Mathilda of Gavault. The route is therefore a political reconciliation test as much as a personal one: the two counties must be allies, while the player avoids replacing Mathilda before the reveal. This is an example of a material-specific condition that is useful to keep on the individual page even though it remains community-tested.
Demon Power is used here as knowledge rather than a combat buff. The player revisits the early confrontation, refuses to choose one county over the other, and then carries the new knowledge into later audiences. The supplied Demon Power page explains the general rewind system; this record narrows it to Gideon’s origin route without claiming that every future run will expose the same sequence.
Affinity, memoirs, and romance
Gideon’s heart scenes move from elaborate speeches and an old relationship, through insomnia and guilt, to the origin reveal. Asking what is chasing him in dreams, responding to remorse, and telling him that he is more than his origins are reported as positive affinity choices. The four-heart notebook scene lets the player help write his legend; the route is intentionally self-aware about hair, eyes, victories, comrades, and a future together.
The romance event uses a library story about Candid and Shamrock, lovers separated by a Knight who opposed them. Gideon admits that the story made him think of the Sovereign, and the supplied guide records mutual confession, a kiss, and a quiet closing choice. A community guide also reports family-drama and noble-revolt marriage opportunities, but the exact relationship lock and multi-romance penalty remain Unconfirmed.
How to use this page safely
Gideon likes Audacious rule and dislikes Tyrannic rule, with Diplomacy and Duel listed as favorable quest categories and Scouting and Woods as unfavorable in the supplied profile. Those preferences are useful after recruitment, but they are not substitutes for the origin conditions. Save before reconciling counties, before the parentage audience, and before any romance choice that might be difficult to reverse.
The screenshot on this page is used because it matches Gideon directly; unrelated supplied screenshots are intentionally omitted. The stable conclusion is that Gideon is a relationship- and identity-heavy Knight whose origin route is specific enough to document, while exact timing and every marriage branch should stay marked community-tested or Unconfirmed.
How to read this Knight record
Facts repeated by an official announcement, a patch note, or more than one independent roster source are presented as the stable profile. Recruitment steps, affinity choices, and transformation claims are separated because they come from different evidence classes. A community-tested label means the supplied material describes a repeatable player result; it does not mean the developer has published the rule.
When a page says Unconfirmed, keep the claim visible but do not build an entire run around it. The safest comparison is to note the cycle, county or city state, living roster, current quest text, and whether Demon Power has been used. That record lets you compare two saves without turning a route report into a promise.
A practical save plan
Make one save before the first recruitment gate, one before any quest that can kill, dismiss, transform, or relocate the Knight, and one before a romance or political commitment. Read the next audience after the cycle advances before loading an older file: several supplied routes depend on what the game remembers, not only on the choice that appears on screen.
This approach also protects the evidence boundary. If your result differs from the route report, record what changed instead of silently correcting the page in your head. The wiki can then distinguish an official fix, a high-confidence repeated result, and a single-run observation while still giving you a usable next step.

Later conversations connect Gideon’s sense of purpose, romantic outcome, and Demon-adjacent questions. These are separate choices, so one favorable scene should not be treated as route completion.
