Founders


Gideon Cahill

Gideon Cahill (from Cahill Island, Ireland) is the father of the founders of the five branches. He was one of the smartest scientists in Ireland in his time, having discovered how to turn lead into gold. This was the reason that the townsfolk asked for his help to create a cure for the plague. However, in his efforts to find a cure, he discovered a serum that would enhance an individual's abilities in every kind of human endeavor, but it killed him from inside. Thus, he gave each of his children a part of the formula for safe guarding, improving their skills. Then he destroyed his research and died on the way. The children wanted the whole serum, and consequently continued to fight for it until the reunification caused by Amy and Dan Cahill's efforts. He died in a house fire caused by the Vesper family. He does not have a card. He had a ring that is very important and powerful – the Vespers hunt for it.
