Char #4: G. Garvin

Character #4 has stopped lurking.*

His name is Gabe Garvin, and he is pretty freaking awesome. His presence solves the question of tech (though there's still a lot of work to be done in determining exactly what the tech stuff is and what it does) and adds a whole new dimension to the crew's relationship with Crazydog . . . I suppose I'll elaborate.

All evidence says Gabe is a normal, everyday human being, except that he's technically dead. Not just on paper; there was a body with matching DNA, fingerprints, and identifying marks. Then again, there's this guy who insists that he's Gabriel Andrew Garvin and whose memories and physical traits match his records perfectly. The Company's not going to complain too much about that once they're sure he's not working for anyone else; they wanted to pull him out of his old life anyway. Still, it's raising a lot of questions.
For the GhostOps crew, the main question is whether he's actually human. They have no way of proving anything, because the only odd thing about him physically is that his eyes flash like a cat's if you shine light in them (nobody else seems to care, 'cause Jake's eyes do that and he's still human . . . well, technically). The strange thing about him is that he knows a lot about other realities and the creatures that come from them -- stuff that doesn't come from any known source of human knowledge. He also seems to have some sort of friendship with Crazydog, who is not typically interested in chatting with any of the others.
Of course, they can't complain too much about it either; his skill in building computer systems and electronic gadgets makes him a wonderful addition to the team. With his help, they have a much greater ability to predict events and handle them effectively. They're also more dependent on technology, but they couldn't really do their job on the scale that has become necessary without it.


*Thanks entirely to my current pressing need to make up stories involving Tony Stark. Using different characters forces a different angle on a storyline, and thus fanfiction has an actual purpose.
