By book
Gideon in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods
A crawler active in the chats whom Carl has met once — some sort of human tank class, from a team that popped its own bubble early, so he never needed rescuing (ch. 34). From up in the Lacuna he reports a hairless gorilla god killed by a snake with Woody Harrelson's head, and a whip-carrying monster knocked loose from a bubble by the fight (ch. 34).
Gideon in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
A crawler who is not in the top 1,000 and likes it that way, nearly killed by a half-genie, half-owl vampire before his cleric got it (ch. 45). The Gideon distraction is Carl's way to empty the castle of guards (ch. 65): he and his team set up in the woods to watch the front (ch. 67) and report two hundred mounted elves and a spotlight on the airship before the message breaks off (ch. 72). 'This crawler is deceased': almost thirty crawlers who stayed back to sow chaos because Carl asked, and Imani does not know yet (ch. 73). Donut counts him among the friends who are dead (ch. 77).
