Gideon Zeke Littlefield
They say that a billionare is a self made man, and in the case of Gideon he perputuates that rumor as much as he can despite the dubious origins of his wealth. Gideon was in his youth a foreman for the The Davey Lamps with no small amount of wealth already to his name. It was through his work he met people of exceptional talent and skill and through their labours did he become filthy rich. Gideon and the now famous Littlefield family were catapulted into high society with the establishment of The Black Hands though much to the mocking of the Old Families who still deny him entry to their most exclusive clubs and gatherings. Despite this Gideon still makes every attempt to worm his way into their gatherings and social circles, though many of them still remember how he gained his wealth and status and are more than a little cautious lest they also go missing.
Old money, new money it's all the same the only thing you need is enough and the will to do whatever it takes to get it - Gideon Zeke Littlefield
Appearance
Gideon is a tall for a Korrigan measuring just over 5 foot tall, the most unpleasant of rumors surround his hieght as cross species couplings are quite rare especially for those from Human to Korrigan. Other than his unusual height he is very much a Korrigan through a through, pointed ears included. At this stage of his life Gideon is into his 80s so sports a quite large white beard mustache and head of hair. He has small piercing blue eyes and always wears the latest in fashion trends in the city, which as of writing is glowing bauble ties and top hats.Personality
Ruthless in a word, Gideon is a man obsessed with money and power doing anything and everything to get more of it. He would likely sell his own mother to the work houses if he thought it would make a difference. He sees people as merely a means to an end, a number on an accounting spread sheat that he wish he could make smaller so his profits were better. Gideon is a horrible person but one that Arbor and it's systems both cater for and love. Unabashed capatilisim in living form that is who Gideon isBackground
Gideon came from a middle class background that had work with the Goldfoot Family. They were foremen in the mines underneath Arbor and it was expected that when Gideon came of age he would take over from his father as his father had token over for him, Each time scarping a bit more money together to one day push themseleves into the next rung of society. Gideon was not born to eeke out a living or advance the family legacy by micro measurements though. Gideon would find people he could exploit, people who were gulliable and had grand dreams, and most importantly people who could get him on the fast track to riches. Eventually Gideon found them 3 in fact that he convinced to go into business with him retrofitting one of the steam powered push carts to turn it into a people and goods carrier. From this the establishment of the Black Hands followed and slowly the creation of the railways underneath the streets of Arbor. None of this was without hardship or risk, however it should be noted that his business partners have born the brunt of that risk as they have all died and only he remains to lead and reap the rewards of the worlds only steam railway.Rumors
Two rumors surround Gideon Littlefield presented below:Parentage
Much of who Gideon's parents are has been buried probably delibertly so either to protect Gideon or to protect any brothers or sisters he may have who are in hiding in fear of Gideon. However his tall stature have led many to speculate that at least one of Gideon's parents was human and the constant derision that is thrown the way of those who mate with Korrigan is they only do so because they appear as children. Leading to some truly horrible nicknames and bullying.Business Partners
Gideon's early business partners all met untimely ends or simply vanished some even from any written record. The rumor that persists is that Gideon himself is likely responsible for their murder or dissapearance, and it's most likely a true fact though at the time of their deaths no one could pin it on him or had the will to pursue such a powerful man. In conjuction with this rumor though is the one that all his early business partners had it out for each other and he is the only survivor of a bloody battle for control of the Black Hands, either way the dead do not speak easily and even when they do you generally need a body.Relationships
When Gideon was in his 40s having established the Black Hands he took a wife, a pretty thing by the name of Esme who took his name. She was but another means to an end and he only married her to establish himself in the right social circles. For her part she did not mind this, she went to parties and balls and social functions and eventually bore him 2 sons and a daughter none of which he has any interest in in the slightest.Allegiance
