Characteristics:
Gabriel appears to be an average, clean-cut youth
at first glance. It is only on the second look that
one notices scars on the backs of his hands or the
slight limp he has. He has light brown hair, thrown in
contrast by his clear blue eyes. His personality is
one of quietness. He has been trained to be seen and
not heard, and that is still his attitude towards how
he should act.


Background:
Gabriel grew up on the world Solomon, a world
colonized early in the Federation's history by a group
of disenfranchised Catholics. Deeply fanatic, they
disavowed all technology produced after the year 2000.
The only exception to this rule was in the town of New
Jerusalem, where the Federation embassy was based.

As a child, like most Solomonites, Gabriel was brought
up in a very religious household. His father, as
Deacon of the main church of Solomon, often stressed
the importance of putting religion above all else,
including family and friends. He encouraged Gabriel to
spend time alone, reflecting on God's lessons.
Needless to say, Gabriel used this time more often
than not to goof off, usually in the forrests
surrounding New Jerusalem.

While on one of his "pilgimmages", he fell victim to a
vicious attack by an unknown animal, which left him
battered. Near death, he struggled back to his home,
where his father found him. Using all of his influence
through the church, his father arranged for the medics
in the Federation embassy to heal his son. Gabriel was
rushed to the Federation embassy, and stayed there for
four months as he healed. While there, he befriended
Sten W'Danga, the son of Embassador Clarius W'Danga,
the Federation representative on Solomon.

Years later, Gabriel still beared scars from the
attack he had suffered, but wore them with pride. It
was though that attack that he met Sten, whom had
become his best friend. Therefore, when Sten decided
to join Starfleet, Gabriel immediately wished to as
well. Gabriel's father, though, was against it
completely, invisioning his son following the path of
the clothe instead. So, Deacon Luther made an
ultimatum: Gabriel could join Starfleet, but if he
did, he was disavowed. Gabriel, torn by the decision
he had to make, retreated to the forrests he knew so
well, and stayed there for a month. At the end of the
time, he returned with his decision.

Gabriel and Sten joined the Academy together, and
graduate together. Sten was assigned as a tactical
officer to the USS Apache, and, using his father's
influence, he had Gabriel assigned to the Apache as a
science officer. They served together on the Apache
for only two months, though, before Sten was
reassigned to a classified post.

Two months later, the Apache defected from Starfleet
under Capt. Bryant. Wishing to stay with the ship he
now called home, Gabriel stayed on, becoming a
deserter and rebel. He was forced to abandon the
Apache when it was destroyed protecting the R.S.S.
Cromwell, and so transferred to the Cromwell. As the
Cromwell had recently lost it's Chief Science Officer
when he joined, he found himself promoted to that
position.
