## Biography

### Early Life

Angel was born into a life of crime and gangs. Throughout his childhood, his father cared for and raised him. He taught him how to survive in the harsh streets of New York and use a gun. Due to the violent gang ties and the environment Angel grew up in, he would come to witness the death of his only parent. With time, he went on to become a respected member of the Latin Kings gang, complete with his own crew.

### Night of the Outbreak

One night, Angel was stopped by a cop. Struggling, he was forcefully pressed against his car and was about to be cuffed and detained when screams began filling the air. To both the officer and Angel's surprise, they witness the zekes attacking and infecting people on the streets. Angel was able to break himself free from the officer's hold and began fighting off the dead that were quickly approaching with a revolver. Although greatly outnumbered and surrounded, he came out victorious and most importantly, alive.

Despite the tremendous loss he suffered early on, Angel insists that he would have it no other way. He is grateful for the life he still has, because without it and all the harsh lessons it had taught him, he would not have it anymore.
