Gordon was born in late September 1990. He was brought up by Kate as a single parent, initially aboard a narrow houseboat moored on an English canal. His father, Jonathan, chose not to be a part of his and his mother's lives after Kate refused to marry him. (PROSE: Downtime) Gordon was nearly five years old before he met his grandfather, Alistair, Kate having kept her pregnancy and Gordon's existence a secret from her father. Following recent events at New World University, Gordon acquired an imaginary friend called Danny and mentioned this on first meeting his grandfather. (HOMEVID: Downtime)
Gordon's first name was his grandfather's middle name. (HOMEVID: Downtime) It is very likely he was named after his grandfather, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, and great grandfather, Gordon Conall Lethbridge-Stewart. He is actually the third Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son)
Gordon gained a sibling later in life on his mother's side. (TV: Death in Heaven)
