Gideon

Captain Gideon Squalltamer of the Seafarers Guild, and captain of the ship Opinicus.

He was Mirilek's closest friend and, by extension, Marek's father-figure. He allows Marek aboard the Opinicus at the beginning of Book One when Marek runs away from Kayeport.

He also plays a role in Book Two.

Skills/Profession:

A master Seafarer and popular captain.

Physical Description:

Large, older man; jovial in his well-cared for but threadbare captain's uniform.

Inventory:

The Opinicus.

Goals:

To run a smooth ship. He regrets not going with Mirilek on his ill-fated journey into the Southern Deepwaves, and takes Marek under his wing as best he can without rousing Rimek's wrath.

Loves:

His ship, his crew, his dead friend Mirilek, and, to an extent, Mirilek's son.

Fears:

Doing something that will jeopardize his position and, more importantly, his crew. This is complicated by the fact that he'll do almost anything for his dead friend, Mirilek, which includes taking on the runaway Marek.
