Biography
Almost nothing is known about the early life of Gabriel Harris prior to the zombie apocalypse. He was an overweight Caucasian male who appeared to be in his mid-late thirties and had short, blonde hair.

In the early years of the zombie outbreak, Gabriel was known to be a resident of the Woodbury community in Georgia. He labored under the leadership of Brian Blake, the so-called "Governor" of Woodbury. Gabriel became Blake's right hand man and top lieutenant, and a major force in the army that Blake had put together in response to perceived threats from survivors at a nearby prison.

Gabriel played a major role in the Governor's first raid on the prison, which consisted of a large arsenal of personnel and weaponry, including a tank. The Woodbury army underestimated the level of firepower that the prison survivors had at their disposal and retreated. The army staged a second assault on the prison, but by this point, Gabriel began to question the Governor's rationale behind the attack. Gabriel advocated a strategic withdrawl, but before a plan could be finalized, he was shot in the back of the head and killed by Andrea from her perch in the watchtower.
