Died in ISD 17098 on Thessa (Colchis). Following his death, HADRIAN MARLOWE visits the athenaeum at Nov Belgaer, and TOR ARRIAN reveals Gibson's backstory. Tor Gibson was born PRINCE PHILIPPE BOURBON of House Bourbon of Verhaut. When Philippe's father, PRINCE CHARLES LIII backed Philippe's younger brother for succession, Philippe rebelled. This started the Septembrine Revolt, a vicious poine civil war, which ended with Philippe's exile to Belusha. LORD AUGUSTIN BOURBON is his son, and PRINCE CHARLES V BOURBON, his nephew.
Following the events of Kingdoms of Death, Hadrian Marlowe no longer has the highmatter sword given to him by SIR OLORIN MILTA. However, during Ashes of Man, when Hadrian is at Maddalo House on Nessus, he contemplates whether the Jaddian assassin Irshan on Forum used Lord Augustin Bourbon's personal highmatter blade. The mint mark on the highmatter reservoir is the Greek letter Φ (phi), meaning the sword was made on Phaia, not Jadd. This led VALKA ONDERRA to the hypothesis that the sword may likely be Philippe Bourbon's (Gibson's) sword, surrendered before his exile to Belusha.
