The Character
Gideon, G.G. or Gee-Gee to coppers and crooks alike, is powerfully built but has a gentle voice. He has pale-blue eyes. He is famed for his prodigious feats of memory and his ability to handle a bewildering work-load of cases simultaneously. Despite his seniority in rank, Gideon often takes a hands-on approach and on occasions physically engages with criminals. He is universally loved and respected by his staff - but they know to avoid him when his temper is aroused.

“Pity the man who has a character to support—it is worse than a large family—he is silent poor indeed.”
