Gabriel "Spades" Bjork







Biography

 * “…ooo, you know you love it when I talk dirty to ya…”

Gabriel "Spades" Bjork is a Tyran native, born and raised in a family of technical engineering, robotics, and chemical forensics. Despite his proficient, analytical abilities, Bjork made most of his profits from gambling, subsequently landing him the nickname "Spades."

He became a professional "poker player" his freshmen year in highschool, making enough money to go to whatever technical school he desired, but instead, decided to join the Gears since it was the only profession at time that would allow him to "play with explosives;" a talent that would land him, and his fellow colleague at the time, Damon Baird, under constant reprimand.

Shortly after E-Day, however, Bjorks' talents were soon discovered and put to constructive use, especially once he landed with Epsilon squad, lead by Captain Jonathan Miller.

Personality Traits
Bjork was once described as a eccentric meathead with tendencies similar to that of an antsy teenager who forgot to take his ritalin. Despite his random rhetoric that would leave most people befogged, with the exception of those who know him, Bjork is still one of the COG's most reliable, on-field technician's, as well as a competent soldier.

Overly witty and despite often displaying what some may call immaturity, Bjork has an uncanny mental complexity to make educated guesses by mentally comparing possible outcomes with different variables.
