Name: Gideon Rede
Codename: Paladin
Prior codename(s): ]REDACTED Phantasm
Age: 34
Education: PhD in Bio-Engineering
Hometown: Mountain Iron, MN, United States

Power Explanation:

Primary: Gideon is a telepath whose primary ability is being able to make a person’s worst nightmares come to life through the creation of illusions. These illusions take place solely in the persons mind. These manifestations of the person's nightmares cause some trauma (physical and mental) to the individual as they witness their nightmares come to life. However, somebody with a well-trained mind could see through and/or lessen the effects of these illusions.

]REDACTED allowed him to channel psychic energy into the creation simple physical constructs (blades, shields, etc), and boosting his physical abilities into the super human realm (speed, strength, durability). To this day he still works on the creation of complex constructs with some limited success.

Secondary: Gideon hears other people's fears. He hears them constantly as whispers from the people around him. Sometimes if a fear is powerful enough the whisper is accompanied with images. With experience has come greater control and Gideon is able to greatly quiet the whispers.

Telepathy: Gideon learned how use his powers in a less offensive way during his time at the Institute, and can communicate telepathically.

Physical Description: Gideon is six feet tall. He has an athletic build from playing hockey for his entire youth followed by years of training at XI, which was then capped off by ]REDACTED. His hair is close to black in color, though close inspection reveals it to be brown. His hair is cut short.

-Hi eyes are a dark blue marred by red, which vary in shade/brightness depending on his mood.

History: Gideon led a relatively normal Minnesotan life. He went to school and played hockey like everyone else, even managing to play goalie for the high school team. He was the youngest of three children from two descendants of miners when the area had been mining central or at least so he thought at the time.

However, it was at the age of 13 when he began to notice changes to his body that went beyond puberty. He started to hear things, horrifying things from other people around him. Their wants, desires and above all the things that they dreaded most. At first he tried to suppress his power, but every time it would come back even stronger and with vivid images attached to the nightmares of others.

Then one day during a hockey game, an opposing player got a break away. As Gideon focused on the player he heard the whispers, this was nothing new. However, something suddenly clicked in his mind and the player stumbled falling to the ice. As medical personnel rushed over to him, he could hear the kid screaming that he was on fire, and that they had to help him put the fire out. Gideon knew he had something to do with it because moments before he had heard that was the opposing players greatest fear.

Upon coming home he knew he couldn't stay there anymore, he never knew when he would cause somebody else pain, and if it ever got out he was a mutant the entire community would kick him out anyways, so he grabbed a few possessions and ran. During a brief stint in Saint Paul he heard about Xavier's and managed to snag transportation to the Institute. He went to XI until his graduation at 18 and then left for college while maintaining his role as an X-Man.

Gideon had always only ever just kept his balance on the thin line between good and evil. He lost that balance when ]REDACTED

He struggled for a long time with reintegrating, but eventually did so with help from the higher ups at XI and X-Corp. Much later on once he proved himself to not be an immediate threat to the world he left to get his PhD from Stanford. He was hired by XU to assume the role of a biology professor and as the mentor in residence for telepaths.
