Character History[]
Earlier Life[]
Born on January the 5th, 1979, Gabriel Jackman had gotten the childhood nickname of being called Hoss by his father. It was due to his father comparing Gabriel to Hoss Cartwright, a character from the TV series Bonanza. He was neither someone who liked a "Hoss", but he would find out that it was a word that meant "big in stature and big in spirit". Gabriel would be made fun of because of the name since his father always addressed him as Hoss. The name stuck with Gabriel as he grew older and he was unable to step away from the Hoss name.
When he reached an adult, Gabriel would leave his family and move to America. At first he was unable to get the type of jobs he wanted, so he bound around from job to job. He could never keep himself at one job often due to fighting and having physical confrontations with his other co-workers, but manage to keep one as a construction worker.
Godfather[]
It was in early 2003, when Gabriel, at the age of 24, decided to he would move to Boston, Massachusetts. He had moved there because he had heard of a new job offering and Gabriel was still working as a construction worker. He would have gotten the job and began doing construction work for a new night club. It would be working on that job he would encounter Jackie O’Neil, a local Boston mob boss.
Jackie would have noticed Gabriel’s angry attitude towards the other workers and selected him to be one of his enforcers for his criminal group. Knowing that this was just another job, Gabriel agreed but Jackie started to treat Gabriel like his own brother because he was starting to like him and Gabriel found himself working a much more better job: intimidation. Gabriel found himself using the skills he had learned over the years and put it into hurting and even killing people for a living, although it came that type of baggage, Gabriel swore that he would not become a soulless monster who maims and kills.
Gabriel's loyalty was so good to Jackie that in 2005 Jackie would have named Gabriel the godfather to his third born son, Derek. Gabriel was so honored by this decision, he swore to Jackie and Derek's brother Bobby that he would protect him when Jackie instructed Gabriel to watch over Derek. Gabriel would continued his duty of being a top enforcer and godfather to Derek O'Neil, the latter of which felt that was his job in his life to protect someone.
