Captain Gideon and Jack the Giant have been friends and mates together for over twenty years. They’ve lived by the pirate code of Draco and recently began to command the Abernath together as they pillage and terrorize innocent travelers within occupied space. They are renowned among the three pirate worlds to the same level as Admiral Derwin, the Black Skull Admiral who leads Draco.

Gideon and Jack spent time in numerous Free Worlds prisons, and Gideon was once captured by the Chrysós Aetós above Epsilon Prime, which is evident by his four missing index and middle fingers. Details are limited to why Gideon’s fingers were removed and not Jack’s, but rumors claim that Chrysós Aetós officers planned to enter Jack into an underground fighting circuit because of his size.

“If you are Gideon, then he must be Jack, the Giant. The deeds of both of you are legendary."

Geoff, quartermaster of the Midhalla

Personality

Gideon’s a cocky loudmouth who uses this persona to misdirect his adversaries, who might see him as ignorant or misguided. It’s all a clever ruse for Gideon of Draco. He’s not afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to strategy and has conducted raids and escapes that would be considered too dangerous or even idiotic to perform. Gideon is a master strategist who ruthlessly exerts his authority among pirates.

Jack’s fiercely loyal to Captain Gideon. He sees the captain as a brother that he would gladly give up his life to protect. Jack has a deep, proud voice and speaks slowly, making people view him as a simpleton yet is far from the truth. Pirates from Draco have bolstered for years that Jack is descended from the Titans of Old because of how massive he truly is.

“I’ll go first. You won’t be up there alone with the captain.”

Jack the Giant
