Gideon Caulfield is your typical bad boy with a bit of a twist. A maniacal twist, to say the least. A pureblood with two parents heavily involved in the American Ministry of Magic, there's nothing he loves more than having power. The tricky part is that sometimes he uses that power for the benefit of others, while other times he uses it for personal gains. He's deceptive like a snake. He'll put on a happy face and become your friend in an instant, the next moment only to betray you. Of course, he doesn't betray everyone, just the ones he needs to manipulate in order to get what he wants. One moment, he'll be stabbing his friend in the back, while the next he's hosting a fundraiser to save extinct magical creatures. It's extremely mind-boggling, because whenever he's performing a generous act, he is wholeheartedly doing it out of a kind intention.
Even though he somehow manages to give profitable advice to those who seek his counsel, Gideon's conniving, manipulative, and confusing nature tends to turn people away. After all, how could you trust an ambitious anomaly with a smile as sharp as a knife? It's freaky enough that he can read most people like an open book. However, he is a master of seduction and persuasion, so his acting ability at least gets people to talk to him. If you want something done, be it a dirty deed or a simple request, he's your guy. (Just as long as you pay him first.) You can say that he is somewhat greedy, but to be frank, his motives are enigmatically unclear. This only makes his presence all the more petrifying.
Still, he's not nearly as wicked as people think. Somewhere in his thick skin is a beating heart that cares for the weak, insane, and the innocent. Those types of people can make him grow awkward and have a loss for words. However, rare moments like those only occur in the midst of highly emotional situations. He doesn't seem like the type, but Gideon is highly sensitive. Not quite towards everyone, but towards himself and those he identifies with. His view of the world is slightly skewed, as he believes himself to be the hero of his own storybook. All he has to do is rewrite the narrative so that the story will be in his favor.
He has a long string of ex-lovers, as it is clear that he has no genuine affection or absolute loyalty to anyone. However, that does not mean he doesn't necessarily have the capacity to love someone. He just chooses to not expose any weakness of emotion or favoritism. Also, many people do not know how much he appreciates the arts, particularly theatre. He finds it a gateway to the emotions that the world keeps hidden. Those emotions are the things he preys upon and studies in order to get what he wants. Unlike other purebloods in Arietem, he is indifferent towards muggles and mudbloods. However, the fact that he is an avid member of the infamous Jr. Death Eaters club is very suspicious...
History
Not much is known about where Caulfield came from or how him and his family got to be where they are now, but it is known around the wizarding community that his mother and father went through a rags-to-riches transformation. (MORE TBA)
