He was born june 27 in 2002. He was born in a poor district of Detroit. He enjoyed school but wasnāt first of his class. He spent most of his time outside with boy friends. He was considered a tomboy, though people didnāt dare mock him for he had a short temper and was used to fight. His parents were killed in a robbery while they were grocery shopping when he was nine.
He was shortly taken care of by social workers before being adopted by Britney Sanders and Glenn Sanders. His relationship with his father is rather cold as Glenn was often out for his journalist work, and he was cheating on Britney. Britney left her work after Elijahās birth to be a housewife. She became quite bitter, lying to herself as to why Glenn often seemed to lose his wedding ring, and her conservative views clashed with Gavin.
He was devastated by his parents death, and Britney didnāt handle it well. She tried to force Gavin to fit in the Sanders family too soon. She first tried to stripped him of his masculine side and of his history in Detroit poor district, but it only made Gavin more violent. Elijah ignored him most of the time, focused on school. Gavin could have been good at school himself, but pressured by his mother, and in competition with Elijah, he dropped everything, started smoking, failed exams after exams and finally joined the army at eighteen, bitter and angry against his āfamilyā.
Being in the army was both good and bad for him. The rules and the discipline clashed with Gavinās free personnality, but it helped him use his anger and his energy. His social dysphoria also got worse and worse. He finally left because he was only deployed on surveillance mission, which he found boring.
His mother, sometimes regretting leaving her job, often told him about the criminal investigation she covered ten years ago, inspiring him. Thatās how he discovered he could become a detective for the police, and found interest in the job.
After leaving the army, he changed his last name to Reed to not be affiliated with his family. His brother Elijah sometimes sent him text to ask him about his wellbeing ; Gavin finally answered to ask for money. Elijah obliged, and with it and a side job Gavin paid for a small appartment, close to where his biological parents lived, and school.
The army also taught him to be ambitious. Gavin graduated and became a detective for the detroit precinct, and immediatly started to elaborate strategy to get the best cases. He clashed with Detective Anderson, especially after he became the youngest Lieutenant in Detroit and was assigned to the Red Ice Task Force. He wonāt accept it, but the truth is that he isnāt going higher up in the precinct because he canāt work in group.
He and Perkins share the same worldview. Gavin secretly looks up to Perkins. They have developped a discreet mentor/apprentice friendship.
He felt pity for Hank when his son died, but he couldnāt help but hope that it could help him higher up in the hierarchy. (It didnāt.) He felt uneasy with Connor coming into the precinct, for various reasons : he still despises android, he didnāt like the idea of an android capable of doing his job, and Connor did made a good job chasing deviant, meaning Connor was a new opponent.
He also felt very uneasy during the android revolution. He didnāt have a full fleshed opinion, and it wouldnāt impact him as he never used androids, but he was deployed in different part of the city to protect civillians durig the march and the evacuation and it made him fear nervous and fearful.
He couldnāt believe it when he heard that the android got what they want -the same rights as humans.Ā
To this day, his relationship with his mother and father are practically non-existent. He doesnāt know where his biological parents were buried. Heās angry towards Connor and disrespectful towards Hank. Heās ambitious, mean, and lonely. He sometimes stares at his brother number, who kept sending him money when he was studying, late at night when he feels the most lonely.
But everything changes when the precinct receives another android, an upgrade of Connor, deviant and yet very close to a machine, apparently a gift from CyberLife, and assigned him to Gavin : rk900.
