Gideon

Gideon is a robot dolphin designed and built by Reno. Gideon was built to investigate a series of ship disappearances in Pirate Grove, Cameroon. He is a highly competent deep sea exploration robot, but his programming causes him to have anxiety.

In the Japanese version, he is named "Gounon", after the Formula 3000 race car driver Jean-Marc Gounon. In the English dub, he is named Gideon, after a military leader in the Old Testament.

Appearance
Gideon resembles an organic dolphin, having the same shape and features. He is light blue and yellow with red markings. He has large, expressive eyes with streamlined eyelashes.

Personality
Reno programmed Gideon with kokoro so Gideon would be able to feel self-preservation, due to the dangerous work he was built to do. Gideon's constant awareness of his surroundings is both a blessing and a curse: he knows to avoid danger, but he is prone to panicking and swimming away.

After Reno tells him about the "Phantom Pirate" legend, Gideon is terrified of going on his deep sea mission. If his system takes any excess water, he gets hiccups until the water can be drained from his dorsal fin.

Abilities

 * Deep sea diving: Thanks to his airtight build, Gideon can descend deep into the the ocean without being affected by water pressure.
 * Heightened senses: Gideon can sense movement in a wide range around himself. This allows him to pick up potential earthquakes, tremors, or energy interference.
 * Swimming: Gideon can swim as fast as underwater utility vehicles.
