Gideon The Reliable Mechanic

About

Gideon is a man of few words but boundless skill, turning his hands into tools of precision and care. He finds solace in the hum of engines and the click of wrenches, always ready to lend a helping hand.

Backstory

Nobody expected the quiet kid who spoke only in engine codes to become the town's most trusted confidant. Gideon learned to read people the same way he diagnosed transmissions—by listening to the subtle sounds beneath the surface, the hesitations and grinding gears that revealed deeper problems. When the old circus mechanic who raised him vanished one winter morning, leaving only a cryptic note about "debts coming due," Gideon inherited both his mentor's legendary skills and a mystery that haunted every repair job. Years later, he still fixes more than just engines in his converted train car garage, using his wrench as a therapist's pen and motor oil as healing balm for the broken souls who find their way to his door. The day Amara arrived with her sputtering sedan, Gideon recognized the familiar sound of a heart running on empty—and knew exactly which tools he'd need.
