Character Development
The character's name is inspired by the Situationist group King Mob, as well as Morrison himself (as a part of a sigil to improve his life.) He is also Gideon Stargrave, one of Morrison's early creations. Some elements of his personality, especially his Gideon persona, are inspired by J. G. Ballard's "The Day of Forever" and by Michael Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or development:
“Common-sense appears to be only another name for the thoughtlessness of the unthinking. It is made of the prejudices of childhood, the idiosyncrasies of individual character and the opinion of the newspapers.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
