the man with the harmonica

Watch on YouTube

“My name is Orion Gideon. I was born in Juneau, Alaska. My parents were Dinah and Samuel Gideon. My mother used to work as a physicist who got transferred to Ashwater’s nuclear facility, but I spent the most of the time traveling the Pacific Northwest with my father. I was thirteen during the first Allobion Epidemic, which killed my father within hours. For my mother, it took years after she contracted the cerebral degeneration and kryo strain, causing her to lose her mind while her insides slowly turned to ice. I did my best to help her, but two years later she doused herself in a can of gasoline and flipped a lighter. I watched her burn. Then the Cataclysm happened. I escaped through the underground tunnels under our house. I ran to Seattle where I stole to survive, until I was taken in by the Durantes from the La Sabueso cartel. Now, what else is there...? Oh! If you also must know, my favorite color is mauve and in my spare time I play harmonica, watch old spaghetti westerns, cheap action flicks, and cartoons. Is there anything else you’d like to know about me?”
