Gideon of Waterdeep

Gideon was an adventurer who resided in Waterdeep. He was part of the Silver Six and an especially close friend to Jander Sunstar. Together they killed the red dragon of the Dales. However, he disappeared soon thereafter in the vampire attack that transformed Merrydale into Daggerdale. The rest of the group were exiled from Daggerdale prior to discovering his fate.

Later, Jander unexpectedly encountered his long lost friend Gideon. Gideon claimed his survival was a miracle from Ilmater. In truth, Gideon had been transformed into a vampire by Cassimar. Gideon captured Jander and brought him back to Cassimar, where Jander was turned into one of the undead. Jander languished in Cassimar's service for ten decades before he was able to destroy his master.
