BACKGROUND:
Gabriel, or Gabe as most people call him, was born and raised in Vievecor City. His father was a drunk who died in a car accident when Gabe was six years old. His mother worked for the city police and did her best to raise him on her own. She could not always be around and Gabe learned early on to make his own mac ‘n’ cheese for dinner and wake up in time for school in the morning.
Being a kid with an overload of energy, Gabriel could not stay put. He stayed out late playing with the neighbours’ kids, exploring the city or getting into trouble. More than once he was given a ride home in one of the district police cars. But he never wanted to be a criminal, in fact he dreamt from a young age that he would drive those cars himself one day. That dream stayed with him into adulthood, and when it was time to choose a path, he chose the police force.
Working hard to keep the city safe was what he wanted, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to keep going out at night. Parking tickets by day, clubbing by night. That’s how he met the most beautiful person he had ever seen. There was something hypnotising about them, something savage and exciting. They started dating, the nights got longer and filled with more dance, alcohol and thrills. Gabe had always made sure to show up fresh at work, but this relationship changed him. He started coming in late, in dirty clothes from the day before, started missing shifts.
Three months into the relationship it had turned into an obsession. Gabe was living more at night than during the day. And that’s when he found out that he was dating a vampire. It was a mind-blowing revelation, but he was too intoxicated by love to even realise what this reveal meant about the world he was living in. He started disappearing into the vampire clubs for days at a time, which caused great concern among his colleagues and his mother. It all culminated one day when he had come in pale as a sheet in his boss telling him he was suspended.
The official version was drug abuse. No trace of any human drug was found in Gabe; the tests could not detect vampire blood. After a time of suspension Gabe was allowed back on the force, but this time under the close watch of Luke Holt. The demon was the closest to a father figure Gabe had, and he had kept an eye on him during the past years on the force. Now they became partners, and Gabe found in Luke a guide to the world he had only glimpsed. The run-in with vampires had brought Gabe into the world of the supernatural, and now he would work to help keep it safe.
UPDATE:
For the past three years Gabe has continued to work for the supernatural community, keeping their secret, while also trying to make the city safer for humans. At first, he partnered with Luke and they took on the big task of searching for Artemis. Over time, the two had their disagreements, and with Luke leaving town a few times, it was clear that the partnership had suffered, and Gabe started working more independently from Luke. He eventually decided that he wanted to study to become a detective himself, so that him and Luke could eventually partner up again on even terms.
About a year after finding out about the supernatural world, Gabe met Teddy Byrne. Despite some early differences, the two were drawn to each other and soon became a couple. They stayed together through ups and downs, through Gabe’s addiction to vampire blood, a run-in with Gabe’s ex, and now going long-distance for some months while Gabe left town to study for the detective exams. Despite all the difficulties the city has put Gabe through, he is moving back to it and to Teddy, in the hopes that the two can live happily together for the rest of their days.
