Gideon Shaw grew up in Kingston with John McIver and Sheldon, and considered himself as an older brother figure to McIver.

Shaw talks with Misty Knight
- "Bushmaster. What makes him so scary?"
"I hope you never have to find out." - ―Misty Knight and Gideon Shaw[src]
Years later, Shaw moved from Jamaica to New York City and when Bushmaster returned to get his revenge on the Stokes Crime Family, Shaw agreed to help him. Snaw purchased a warehouse in Brooklyn, which was previously owned by the Yardies and later by the Stylers. However, Shaw was arrested for a broken taillight and a weed possession in New Jersey and was put at the ICE facility in Kearny Point. As the Homeland Security flagged Shaw for his links to the Stylers, ICE groomed him to departation.
Shaw was approached in his cell by Misty Knight who showed him a photo of Bushmaster and asked what makes him so scary, and Shaw said that she better not find out. When Knight questioned him about Bushmaster's motives, Shaw told her about their childhood and Anansi's stories that stucked with him for years. Shaw then told Knight that Bushmaster's family had been wronged by the Stokes family, so he returned to New York to exact his revenge and get back everything that belonged to him. He then added that Bushmaster will stop and nothing, comparing it how in the Bible the world was cleansed by water, Bushmaster will do the same but with fire.[1]
