Gordon was transported to another dimension, the [[Realm of Light]], by the [[Sylphine]]s to help fight in their war against the [[Nixxine Horde]]. [[Glenn Miller]], a [[Siccati]] and a [[Valethske]] also fought with him. He fought there for twenty five years. When two Sylphine fled the war to Earth, Gordon was taken with them. Upon arrival he found that he had lost his memory of the years following his disappearance. He was briefly reunited with Alistair, before being abducted by a version of his son from another universe, [[James Lethbridge-Stewart (Inferno Earth)|James Gore]]. Gore interrogated him for knowledge on how to cross over into the Realm of Light. Escaping Gore, Gordon found his way back to Alistair. When the two escaped Sylphines were reunited, Gordon chose to return to the Realm of Light, realising that by winning the conflict there he would keep the Earth safe.
