Fiercely loyal, unyielding, just, and charismatic, Gideon Jura doesn't hesitate to enter combat to defend the innocent. A powerful warrior-mage with the ability to make himself invulnerable, he wields a six-bladed surral and hieromancy magic against his foes. His last resort and most deadly weapon is the legendary greatsword Blackblade, an unholy artifact once used by a dark being of immense power, and since repurposed to slaying those who would commit the acts its creator intended it to be used for. A man of the people, Gideon takes pride in leading his comrades towards the common good and the end of those who would destroy it.

Though he is now one of the foremost warriors in the multiverse, Gideon came from humble beginnings, leading a gang of street kids struggling to make a living. Imprisoned by the local guards, he honed his leadership, self-discipline, weapon use, and innate gifts for hieromancy under the watchful eye of the prison warden, Hixus. His newfound strength was put to the test while defending his city. But when he tried to overstep his abilities and challenge a foe far beyond his power, he unintentionally doomed the rest of his soldiers. The anguish of his failure to protect his own comrades ignited his Planeswalker spark, and he found himself on a new plane, far from his home on the world of Theros.

He has since embraced the life of a wandering savior, atoning for his past failures by dedicating himself to protecting the denizens of the Multiverse from those who would seek to destroy them. His current home lies within the righteous Boros Legion of Ravnica, a group that, like him, seeks to bring justice to the world and vengeance upon purveyors of evil.
