Gabriel Monroe

Ensign Gabriel Monroe is a tactical officer on the USS Odyssey
== Background ==
Gabriel Monroe is the great grandson of one of the legendary Starfleet officers and leader of an elite strike force, Lieutenant Alexander Monroe. 
He grew up inspired by his great grandfather and even he heard stories about his adventures from his mother which led him to assemble his own team out of his group of friends patroling his neighborhood, but sadly it was disbanded due to them going to different colleges or going their own separate ways. Gabriel was left alone, and his last few years in high school was short and sweet. By the time he went to college he would sometimes lack the discipline to keep himself out of trouble despite having good marks on his permanent record. This left him in a position where he was longing for a purpose in life. 
On his 18th birthday he received a starfleet data pad and on it was letter from his own great grandfather, he explained to him that he once lacked the discipline and the patience when he was his age and he had to learn the hardships and the ways of when it comes to leading a team, even taking the responsibility that came with it. He also uploaded every file about his career, his team, his adventures, and various different techniques and everything else he put in there for any of his future generations to learn about. This made Gabriel even more inspired to try and apply after his graduation and after two and a half years of good and bad days in college he graduated and the scores were enough to get applied for Starfleet academy. 
Within his second year in his academy term his own impatience and his irresponsibility in some of his classes had caught the eye of one of his favorite tutors. He sat down with Gabriel and explained that he needed to understand that sometimes a man can blame his mind and not his hands which can get him into trouble, which he laughed about it. He smiled and gave Gabriel a recommendation to try and take the path that his great grandfather took, and left Gabriel to think about it. For the remainder of the semester he took his advice and managed to keep himself disciplined for the remainder of his term and by the end of his fourth year he sighed in relief knowing that he has graduated along with his class with the best scores that he saw fit to earn.
His first assignment took him onto a destroyer class starship, USS Macintosh. He served aboard as part of security detail and he made some friends during his time. About a month into his service on the Macintosh, it received a distress call which turned into a trap which lead the ship being disabled and boarded by Malon privateers. Within the firefight most of his crewmates were dead and one of them was held a hostage, he hesitated at pulling the trigger because he couldn't risk vaporizing him. Fortunately two cruisers arrived to get the situation under control and Gabriel spent the next 2 months regretting not shooting them. 
A few months later he was instantly reassigned to one of the new odyssey class starships, USS Odyssey. They believed that Gabriel's talents would be of use there. At first he hesitated to answer, but suddenly he grabbed his data pad from his grandfather to remind him of his inspiration to live up to him. He thought for a moment before rushing for the last departing shuttle heading for that ship.
