Who is Gideon Goddard in Mr. Robot?

The boss who deserved better · Allsafe & Civilians

Gideon Goddard (The boss who deserved better) is a character in Mr. Robot, part of Allsafe & Civilians.

He trusts Elliot — promotes him, shields him, believes in him — which is, in this story, a tragedy in instalment form. Gideon is the show's control group: what decency looks like, and what the revolution does to bystanders who showed up to work.
