Gabriel Hernandez

**Gabriel Hernandez** is a survivor of the initial outbreak and the twin brother of Gabby Hernandez. He later joins the New Patriot Movement as an elite soldier reporting directly under Alexander Jones. However he becomes estranged with his life and plays a large role in the downfall of the paramilitary organization and the former Senator while acting as a spy for **Lt.** Dante Bishop and the Revolutionary Army.

He is a former antagonist turned main character of the **Into the Dark** *series*.

## Appearance

Gabe is a Hispanic man of average height and a slim muscular physique due to surviving for so long in the post-apocalypse.

## Personality

Gabe is shown to be a brave, resourceful and caring person who is a strong, determined survivor and a loving brother towards his twin sister, Gabby. Gabe is introduced as a ruffian and a rouge, a man with few convictions and no love or loyalty to anyone except his family (Hence why they escape theft the Quarantine Zone they lived in).

Following him being forced to join the New Patriot Movement and being separated from his only family Gabby, Gabe becomes loyal to Alexander Jones as one of his top men and devolves into an antagonist, showing on numerous occasions that he is capable of cold-blooded murder without hesitation or remorse.

In spite of his cruelty, Gabe is revealed to be loyal to the militia in order to protect and ensure the safety of his sister. He is able to turn the leader of the Hunters Ryan Adhere against Jones, which leads to their extermination, showing the extreme measures that he is willing to resort to to protect his loved ones. With the help of his sister, Gabe is able to find his courage again and chooses to align himself with the Revolutionary Army and becomes one of Lt. Dante Bishop's spies alongside Annie Stevens, claiming that he indeed hates Jones and that he wants him dead.

Gabe his shown to be dedicated to his mission to defeat Jones and is able to help the Revolutionary Army put an end to Alexander's plot of sabotaging their organization by passing them valuable information while also killing a numer of their top brass, such as Gregory Harris, Bruce Cooper and the majority of their special forces single handedly. He is careful, cautious and cunning as no one, not even Jones is able to deduce that he is actually a spy for Dante. Gabe's loyalty to the rebels is clearly evident when he takes measures to ensure that the rebels are able to escape from the soldiers of the militia posted outside and personally guns them down to save him, even risking his own life for the sake of their cause.
