From across the web, Gideon's story appears to be:

Black Fairy wasn't a good granny (duh) and wanted him Dark, but he managed to keep the light strong because of remembering Belle and now he wants to "kill" Emma so he can become the hero his mum always wanted him to be to defeat the Black Fairy.

Don't know why he has magic, but he's seems decently powerful (and it's hilarious that He and Emma resort to a sword fight).

Oh, and he temper tantrums at the clock tower and blasts it. (https://twitter.com/bellefrenchh/status/827289385796325376)
