Backstory
All Gabriel has ever known is his Papa and the apartment they lived in. Everything he read or watched, everything he ate, when he slept, when he woke up, every aspect of his life was carefully controlled by his Papa. And to Elias Hsiang, Gabriel was a son, a pet, a slave, a decoration. Gabriel would spend hours or days in a large aquarium as if he were an exotic fish. Under the care of Elias, Gabriel suffered physical, mental, and sexual abuse.
One day, only a few months before the beginning of the story the home Elias kept Gabriel in was found and raided by police who hoped to catch this major Syndicate member but unfortunately only found Gabriel. After speaking with Gabriel and understanding his situation, the authorities realized he was an innocent, abused child. But when they attempted to take him away from the apartment, Gabriel freaked out and tried to fight against him. When his meager strength proved to be no match in his panic, fear, and desperation Gabriel awakened his mutant powers and literally slipped through their hands. They had to use knockout gas and a power inhibitor collar to catch him and bring him out of there.
They brought him to a therapist and social worker named Dana Fern who specialized in helping Syndicate chimeras. She was unsure of how to deal with Gabriel’s deeply rooted, twisted world-view, especially when he made no effort to communicate with her. She also faced the threat of Elias or the Syndicate coming after and attempting to retrieve him. She knew she could not protect him and neither could a normal family or mental health care facility. The only options were the Chimera Asylum or Ravenhold Academy. When offered the choice, Gabriel chose Ravenhold Academy.
