Gideon Jangles, a young Kenku with a voice that defies the norm, emerges from the hallowed halls of Candlekeep to embark on a journey of discovery and destiny alongside the Tormentors. Raised amidst the dusty tomes and ancient secrets of the great library, Gideon's upbringing is a testament to the power of knowledge and the bonds of family.
Under the tutelage of Humphrey Jangles, a retired adventurer and sage of Candlekeep, Gideon learns the art of magic and the mysteries of history, his keen mind and insatiable curiosity driving him to unravel the secrets of the universe. Despite his avian form, Gideon possesses a voice uniquely his own, a rare gift among his kind that sets him apart from his peers.
When the Tormentors arrive at Candlekeep seeking aid, Gideon's path becomes intertwined with theirs, as he joins their quest to free Grom, a petrified member of the legendary band Chronicle. Together, Gideon and the Tormentors set out on a perilous journey to retrieve the Dawn Staff, the key to Grom's salvation, from the Everlasting Mountain.
As they ascend the treacherous slopes of the mountain, Gideon and his companions face trials and tribulations that test their resolve and challenge their beliefs. Amidst the frozen peaks and ancient ruins, they confront a cult intent on resurrecting an ancient evil, their quest for the Dawn Staff intertwining with the fate of the goddess Mystra herself.
In a moment of transcendent clarity, Gideon is touched by the divine power of Mystra, becoming one of her Chosen and gaining insight into the mysteries of the cosmos. With newfound abilities and a sense of purpose, he helps the Tormentors thwart the cult's plans and secure the Dawn Staff, returning to Candlekeep triumphant.
Now, as a member of the Tormentors, Gideon travels with his newfound companions to aid in the defense of Phandalin and the Sword Coast, his journey far from over as he embraces his role in shaping the destiny of the realms. With each step forward, he brings the wisdom of Candlekeep and the strength of Mystra to bear against the encroaching darkness, a beacon of hope in a world fraught with peril.
