Gideon's Sword

Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephtha. We’ll consider Gideon (pronounced ghid-DOHN in Hebrew) in this post.

Former art-thief and currently a nuclear weapon scientist in Los Alamos. His whole live untill the Pre Title Sequence (lets call it that in good ole movie-language) he tries to solve the betrayal of his father by collegues. ANd after he has done so he gets kinda recruited to do a little job for some unknown quantity of a organisation who also is paying his debts in return. Oh yeah and then the biggie: he finds out that he has about a year to live and after that his chances on survival dwindle rapidly into non-existance.

And Gideon was clothed with the spirit of the Lord, and he blew the horn summoning Abiezer to follow him. Judges 6:34 NABRE
