Biography
Gideon was born in Hong Kong, China. He never knew who his biological parents were as he was left in an orphanage even before he began to acquire memories. As one of the youngest children in the orphanage, life was unforgiving. Gideon was adopted when he turned 5 by a rich couple from the US.

The Serenades were an extremely rich family with a large business in shipping on the West Coast of America. The family was composed of a married couple and their daughter, the two women harboring a love for eastern culture. His adoptive family was not lacking in affection, but they already had expectations and a path set out for Gideon. The father of the Serenade family was a man’s man who had an innate love for boxing. Of course, Gideon, with his increasingly surprising physique, began taking classes in boxing shortly after he was adopted. Likewise, Gideon’s mother desired a perfect son, but she also wanted to ensure her beloved daughter’s safety. Thus she had no qualms with Gideon’s training, but also kept a strict overwatch on his performance in academics.

Of the Serenade family, the one Gideon got along with the most was most definitely his sister. Although he always knew he was always seen as an auxiliary to the family, he never resented his sister, Veronica, for receiving the full force of his parent’s love. She had never expected anything from Gideon and always got along with him. Instead, he adored Veronica, and although she was two years older than him, he vowed to protect her without his parent’s request. Where Gideon found excellence in boxing, his sister found excellence in piano. They both began to travel internationally and Gideon began to see his family less and less.

At the mere age of 12, academics became a secondary priority to Gideon as he traveled the world at an extremely young age. His large physique at such a young age allowed him to leave all like-aged boxers in the dust. He became known to be extremely ruthless and animalistic in his fighting style. He became a rising star on an international level and he was kept under the watchful gaze of the Olympic boxing community.

While travelling to a junior tournament in Germany, Gideon was informed of misfortune. A car accident involving his parents and sister while they were travelling to a piano competition in Japan. Both of Gideon’s parents died on the spot and his sister received severe head trauma.
Gideon completed his tournament with ever increasing emotional stress. In the final championship, Gideon tuned out the loss of his family and came out of the match with a unanimous victory when he knocked out his opponent. Only to find later he had permanently crippled the finalist by jarring his spinal cord and paralyzing him from the neck, down. Witnesses judged his fight as completely legal and thus Gideon was never charged, but he did not escape the guilt.

Following the news of his opponents hospitalization, Gideon went through numerous emotional breakdowns as a 14 year old child, and was eventually put on hiatus by his trainer. He chose to go to Japan where his sister was hospitalized. He learned the basics of Japanese and could get by but he was most definitely not on a high school level. With his sister announced in a vegetative state, Gideon became the sole inheritor of the Serenade household’s assets. Using his inherited money, he asked to have a home and be enrolled near his sister, to which the manager of his family’s finances quickly complied. At his high school, Gideon hopes to find respite and a means of recovery from his mental slump.
