Background:
Born in the city of Aix Les Bains, France, Gabriel had the grace and good fortune to be born into a rather old and rich family that held some measure of prestige within the lakeside city. He grew up with servants at his beckoned call, attended the finest schools and, as per family tradition, the equally finest fencing academies. Gabriel lived the spoiled rotten life of a rich, only child. The only other current member of the family his age is a cousin. Unfortunately, old money and the youth of the modern generation never mix well, as has been displayed by young celebrities and socialites across the globe. Gabriel was no exception. Once he turned fifteen, week long jaunts via private jet to Paris, Berlin and London became a regular occurrence. His face and that of the women he always had hanging all over him were a favorite of gossip columns, paparazzi and Twitter alike. By the age of 20, he was a celebrity playboy in Europe as well as a fast growing blight on the family name.
At a family meeting one summer afternoon, Gabriel was told the family elder, his grandfather, that unless he began acting in a manner representative of the family legacy, his name would be stricken from the will and his eventual inheritance would be cut off. Not only did his father agree, but an additional stipulation was added: Prove that Gabriel understood that the world did not revolve around him, that he was capable of putting someone else's life and needs before his own for once. There was no negotiation to be had, no middle ground compromises. Gabriel had to listen, lest he lose his claim to the family fortune. Further more, he had no choice in his "new occupation" either. It would seem his family had connections and ties that ran a little older and deeper than blood. A communications company with similiar "connections" had recently acquired a new CEO, and Gabriel was "told" that he would be working for this company, putting his skills to use as a security specialist.
Little did the family know the new CEO was just as bad as him.
