Gideon Witherspoon

Gideon is the size of a linebacker but displays none of the motion associated with sports; on the contrary, he often spends long periods being completely stock-still. When he does move it is slowly, ponderous, as though there was some great bulk weighing him down. He dresses in fine fashion, fitted suits in dark colors that complement the dark shade of his skin. When he speaks, his voice is quite low, and it has a fine smoothness to it.
