Gabe

Gabe was a recurring character in Season 6B of *Teen Wolf*. He was first introduced as an ordinary student in Beacon Hills, but soon revealed himself to be one of the new Hunters recruited by Tamora Monroe and Gerard Argent in hopes of wiping out supernatural creatures around the world.

## Throughout *Teen Wolf*

### Season 6

In *Face-to-Faceless*, Gabe, along with Nolan Holloway, began brainstorming ways to expose Liam Dunbar's lycanthropy to the Beacon Hills High School students, as they had just been recruited into Tamora Monroe's Hunter army and wanted to turn the students against the supernatural community of Beacon Hills.

They began by plotting with the rest of the lacrosse team to overthrow Liam as captain, to which Liam threatened them by briefly flashing his glowing gold eyes. Afterward, Gabe and Nolan developed a plan of attack, expecting that Corey Bryant, who they knew had Chimera powers of Adaptive Camouflage, would try to cloak Liam from sight and get him out of the school unseen. They were caught trying to be led out of the school by Nolan, who blew a handful of chalk dust on them before throwing Liam into a classroom where Gabe was waiting for him.

Gabe and Nolan then began taunting Liam, whose glowing eyes, fangs, and claws briefly came out and were subsequently forced back in before the two could see him. When Liam refused to transform in front of them, Gabe and Nolan began viciously and brutally beating Liam in hopes of forcing him to shift in front of the crowd of students that had gathered to watch. Despite their best efforts to beat him into submission, Liam was able to resist their attempts to force his transformations until Coach Finstock came in, saw what they were doing, and pulled Gabe and Nolan off of him, sending them to the principal's office and helping Mason get Liam on his feet.

In *Pressure Test*, Gabe was among the Hunters in Monroe's Army who surrounded the Beacon County Sheriff's Station and demanded that Jiang and Tierney, orphaned Werewolves from Satomi Ito's pack who had killed their men in retaliation for decimating their pack, into their custody. Gabe was with Monroe when she gave Sheriff Stilinski their ultimatum—they could hand over Jiang and Tierney, dead or alive, by midnight, or they would shoot up the station and everyone trapped in it.

While those inside the station were distracted by Nolan Holloway's failed attempt to kill the young wolves with purple wolfsbane, Gabe was tasked with further destabilizing their position through psychological warfare. He was given a crossbow, which he had aimed at the station, and Monroe instructed him to remember what Gerard taught him-- "Inhale. Breathe out slowly. Right before you run out of breath, pull the trigger." He went on to ask Monroe how he was supposed to kill one of them with a crossbow from out there, but Monroe replied that he wouldn't be killing them, at least not yet; instead, he'd be sending a message.

Inside the station, an arrow flew through the window, shattering it and embedding itself in one of the walls in the bullpen. Attached to the arrow was a scrap of Brett Talbot's lacrosse jersey, which was covered in his blood; since Brett was a friend and ally of the McCall Pack who had been killed by Monroe's Army several days earlier, this only heightened the fear and anger the group was feeling, especially considering the Anuk-ite's power of fear-inducement was also affecting them immensely. Gabe presumably left the station after Rafael McCall struck a compromise between the McCall Pack and Monroe's Army in which Jiang and Tierney would be arrested for murder and the rest of the pack would move out of California. However, this plan ultimately failed when neither side lived up to their end of the bargain—the pack remained in hiding in Beacon Hills, and the Hunters ultimately killed Jiang and Tierney as they intended.

In *Triggers*, Gabe and Aaron (who, unbeknownst to everyone else, was one half of the Anuk-ite) were acting on the fear stirred up by the ancient shapeshifter by testing everyone in the school to see if they were supernatural by cutting them on the hand and seeing how fast they healed. Next on their list was Edgar, who begged the two not to hurt him and managed to run away right after they cut his hand. Gabe sent Aaron to go make sure he passed the test, and Aaron discovered that Edgar had, in fact, healed due to the fact that he and his family are Werecoyotes. Aaron then used his powers to infect Edgar with his spiders to see if he was the Anuk-ite's other half, but the process only served to put him into a painful trance-like state.

When Nolan found Edgar writhing in pain on the floor, he immediately called Monroe and Gabe to see what he found. Monroe wasted no time in ordering one of them to "get rid of it," and when Nolan argued that Edgar was a classmate in his trigonometry class, Monroe reminded him that he wasn't human and reiterated that one of them needed to put him out of his misery. Nolan, still not completely on board with their cause, panicked, leaving it up to Gabe to smother Edgar to death. Satisfied, Monroe ordered Nolan to help Gabe get rid of the body, adding, "Gabe showed me I can count on him, Nolan. Can I count on you?"

That night, a shooting occurred in which a Hunter shot an assault rifle through the front of the McCall House while the pack and their allies were meeting to discuss the map of the Nemetons of the world that they had stolen from Argent Arms International. Though the supernatural creatures in attendance were unharmed, Melissa McCall, Chris Argent, Rafael McCall, Lydia Martin and Mason Hewitt were all shot and injured badly enough to require surgery, though the shooter's identity was unknown.

In *Werewolves of London*, though everyone survived the shooting at the McCall House, Scott and Malia were so furious as a result of the attack that they decided to finally start fighting back against Gerard, Monroe, and Monroe's Army, which included Gabe.

The next day at school, Gabe was confronted by an enraged Liam Dunbar, who immediately dragged him into the boys locker room and forcefully shoved Gabe's face against one of the mirrors as he interrogated him. Gabe swore up and down that he knew nothing about the attack at Scott's house, and continued to reiterate this point when Liam pointed out that there were humans in the house, too, like his best friend Mason.

When Gabe failed to give substantial answers, Liam growled, "Maybe you haven't noticed lately, but I've been having trouble controlling my anger. When things happen to my friends, I just can't seem to help it!" and shoved his face harder into the mirror, causing the glass to crack and cutting into Gabe's brow and temple. As Gabe pleaded with Liam to stop, this only seemed to make things worse, as Liam took it as him being afraid that he was going to kill him, which all went back to the fact that ignorant humans believed all supernaturals to be killers.

Just as Liam suggested that they should be killers as a result of being targeted by groups like Monroe's Army, an amused Theo Raeken appeared behind him and asked if he really intended on killing Gabe. Liam shot Theo a mutinous look, to which Theo replied, "I mean, I don't care if you do, but have you thought this through?" Theo began bringing up the logistical issues with killing Gabe, including having a place to dump his body and ensuring that no one saw him grab Gabe in the first place; though it seemed like Theo was simply trying to scare Gabe into talking, it also served to calm Liam down and prevent him from doing something he would regret. While Gabe continued to whimper and Liam insisted he didn't care, Theo retorted that he didn't care, either, so he should let him help, especially since he was the one with the experience.

When Theo brought up the fact that they were going to need to kill all the witnesses as well and began listing all of the materials they would need to pull it off, Liam reluctantly let go of Gabe, allowing him to fall onto the floor with a gasp as he glared at Theo and stated that he had made his point. Theo praised Liam for not killing him, which was progress, which led Liam to argue that trying to save him wasn't going to make Scott forget about everything he did. Liam went on to ask him if he really thought Scott would just let him into the pack and insisted that Scott would never trust him, so Theo remarked that Scott's goal has always been to keep people safe, which is what he was trying to do as well.

Gabe bitterly retorted, "He should try harder," causing Theo and Liam to turn their attention back to the injured Hunter to ask him for clarification. When Gabe mocked them for not knowing what he was talking about, Theo pulled him up off the ground and smashed his face back into the broken mirror Liam had shoved him into before as he demanded to know what Gabe knew. Gabe, gasping for breath, asked if he knew about the other bodies, leading Theo to look at Liam with concern before asking him *what* other bodies he was talking about.

He reluctantly took Liam and Theo to one of the science classrooms, where several bodies that looked just like Edgar after he was killed by the Anuk-ite's spiders have been shoved into the deep freezer in the back. When Theo asked if the teacher knew about this, Gabe pointed out that the older male in the freezer *was* the teacher.

When asked why they were hiding the bodies, Gabe admitted that it was because he didn't want to get caught, revealing that he had been testing the students and apparently teachers by cutting them to see if they healed so they'd be outed as supernatural creatures. Liam, remembering that he did the same thing to Corey, brought up the same situation, but Gabe assured him that it was something else that killed these people, which they could tell by the way their faces looked burned out.

Theo realized they were dealing with the Anuk-ite, leading Liam and Theo to ignore Gabe for a long moment to discuss their theories—Liam didn't understand why it would kill, since it fed off of fear and dead people aren't afraid, but Theo thought that maybe the killing was the by-product of looking for it's other half, meaning it was searching for a supernatural creature like themselves.

Theo guessed that these victims were Werewolves or some other kind of shapeshifter, but just not the one the Anuk-ite was looking for, which is why they died, and this also led Theo to figure out that Gabe and his cohorts have inadvertently been *helping* it the whole time. Gabe insisted that he had no idea what they were talking about and revealed that Aaron was the one who had the idea to test everyone, causing Liam and Theo to realize that Aaron was half of the Anuk-ite.

After the boys left, Gabe immediately sought out fellow Hunter Nolan Holloway in order to tell him about what just happened. Nolan was shocked that they asked who shot up Scott's house, but when Gabe assured him that he didn't tell anyone anything, Nolan, becoming suspicious, asked how Gabe even knew the shooter's identity in the first place. Realizing that Gabe was the shooter all along, Nolan demanded to know what Gabe did, but Gabe argued that he was just trying to protect Nolan—he told Monroe that Nolan was the one who did it, and that he should be grateful because it earned him his place in the army, though Nolan was still worried that someone in the McCall Pack would try to kill him for the shooting.

In *Genotype*, Gabe was in Mrs. Finch's biology class when he saw Liam Dunbar enter the room, returning to school for the first time since Gabe, Nolan and the rest of the lacrosse team assaulted him in *Face-to-Faceless*. Both Gabe and Mrs. Finch were surprised to see him, with the latter saying as much, leading Liam to point out that he couldn't let his GPA fall just because he got beat up in class.

While this exchange was going on, Gabe had pulled out his phone and was trying to surreptitiously text Tamora Monroe to let her know that Liam was there, but Mrs. Finch ultimately caught him and snatched his phone out of his hand before he could finish it, setting it on her own desk before returning to the lesson.

As she lectured, Liam set off to try to test Mrs. Finch to see if she was supernatural, as the pack had found a cell phone with a voicemail on it from Mrs. Finch that led them to believe she had some connection to the shapeshifter whose identity half of the Anuk-ite had taken on as its own and hoped that she may be able to help them figure out who that shapeshifter was. Gabe watched as Liam pulled out one of Chris Argent's ultrasonic emitters and pressed the button; though she didn't react, another student was affected, suggesting she had the superhuman senses of a shapeshifter of some kind.

Liam then decided to move on to his next test, which involved going up to the chalkboard and elbowing Gabe out of the way to work on one of the Punnett square problems Mrs. Finch had set up. Gabe smirked when he saw Liam put powdered purple wolfsbane from a small paper packet onto the chalkboard eraser and realized what he was doing but did nothing to interfere. Mrs. Finch once again didn't react to the wolfsbane, but when she noticed it, she dismissed everyone from the class except for Liam. Gabe, eager to get his phone back so he could update Monroe on what he had just witnessed.

That night, when the two halves of the Anuk-ite (Aaron and Quinn, Mrs. Finch's daughter) merged, Gabe was in the hallway with several Hunters from Monroe's Army when he saw the creature coming and hid. He watched in horror as the other two Hunters were petrified into stone.

## Personality

Gabe was a confident and arrogant high school student whose behavior bordered on bullying even before becoming a Hunter. He allowed his paranoia and distrust of the supernatural to push him to viciously assault Liam Dunbar in hopes of exposing him as a Werewolf, and his somewhat power-hungry nature led him to be easily manipulated into blindly following Gerard Argent and Tamora Monroe in their crusade against supernatural creatures.

His desire to please them was so great that he went on a shooting spree at the McCall House that seriously injured the humans of the McCall Pack, including Rafael McCall, Melissa McCall, Lydia Martin, and Mason Hewitt, illustrating how little Gabe was concerned about human casualties in this war. However, after he was critically wounded by gunshots fired by his fellow Hunters, Gabe was shown to be just a scared young man who was influenced by the Anuk-ite who got in over his head in the Hunter army.

## Physical Appearance

Gabe was a tall, slim young man with pale white skin, short, straight black hair, and a smattering of freckles on his face. He dressed in trendy clothing typical of high school students, such as designer jeans, tailored hoodies, and leather jackets.
