A Main Character

Gabe
Gabriel Horatio Stuart Gates Norwood is a person of interest in multiple municipalities and works of fiction spanning several eras of human history. He is most known for a string of low profile, low energy hijinks and general Western Mass buffoonery, though the entity known as "Gabe" has also been linked to numerous events throughout history which hold a larger significance to the world at large.

"Gabe" has also been linked to several religious cults and general fanatical behavioral groups including, but not limited to: Chris-Hallisism, The Cult of the Obelisk, The Order of Emanuel Levy, Slash Gangs, Serbia, and is thought to be an influential member of, if not perhaps the outright leader, of the anarchist movement known as the Max Ernst Gigachads.

He claims to originate from the fictional town of Cold Spring, Massachusetts in the United States of America. However, numerous investigations have uncovered no evidence of any such place existing. The residents of Belchertown, approximately where "Cold Spring" is canonically supposed to exist, respond to questions about the "Gabe" with trepidation at best, suggesting they are indeed aware of his claims and are duly unsettled by them. One prevailing theory as to why the Gabe has shown an attachment to this place is due to Belchertown's high incidence of night terrors, anxiety, general distress and other such traumatic psychological phenomena.

Pre-Conceptual
It's been theorized the Gabe may have originated before the measurable time when, if there was time, which of course there wasn't, we could consider it to be, roughly, sixty eight point one two internet swatch beats before, though also simultaneously and forever after, the occurrence of the Big Bang. For conventional understand, this could, and should be considered to as close to the edge of the beginning as you are comfortable picturing. At this stage the entire potential of all was in its most nascent and compressed form, and so the Gabe would have been both a part of as well as encompassing entirely every star and every pair of eyes to ever witness a star. The uncountable permutations of the myriad destinies of every atom in every universe would be as one with the intellect and vision of the Gabe. This can, and truly must also also said of all the pollution in the Taunton River. Scientifically speaking.

Post-Conceptual Career
The Gabe's post-conceptual period was likely an extremely busy one as he made his way through the depths of the newly birthed and infinitely expanding cosmos. This would have been an extremely important time in his development and would likely have been when the Gabe first developed his amphibious traits. As is noted by himself noted scientist Patrick Bessy "Space is made of water. On this I stake my life, my honor, and manifesto" and so it would have been essential for the Gabe to manifest the agility, the ability to live in both aquatic and semi-aquatic environments, and slimy weird skin he is often associated with today.

This would also likely have been the point at which the Gabe first came into contact with the concept of Chris Hall. Though there are many instances and documented cycles of Chris Hall, it is generally believed they each originated sometime in this primordial stage and were likely once unified into nascent intellect such as the Gabe. This would have made the two both siblings and bitter rivals. The savagery and desperation of the constant expansion and contraction of all potential energies into a slowly expanding, darkening, and rapidly freezing vacuum would have erased an infinite such proto-consciousnesses with each pulse of the universe, and so what survived must have done so only in the most twisted and depraved of environments, rendering them forever alien to all subsequent possible intellectual beings. This place would have been a torturous forge of souls, where survival was impossible, and even the lucky could expect only to be shattered and reborn, shattered and reborn, shattered and reborn, until what was was so unlike what came before as to be barely a continuation. If emotions existed in even the barest of definitions at that time, surely then the first and only emotion there was terror.

What follows would have been billions of years of near solitude interspersed with intense moments of social unease as the tragically few survivors of the initial spasming of existence would have drifted near to each other only pitifully rarely. It would then, of course, have been when the Gabe would develop his first need of entertainment and imagination and in turn develop his taste for games. It is highly likely then, that this would have been when the Gabe first manifested his Acolitus persona. Again we go to the research of Dr. Bessy for his seminal work "Why Does Everything Smell Like Nascar?" where he stated "Yep. That's it."

Corporeal Manifestation
While there are numerous accounts of possible Gabe related influences throughout the ages (the weak nuclear force, the color puce, geese) the earliest concrete manifestation of the Gabe dates to an incident in 1863, at the battle of Gettysburg, during the American Civil War. In the morning hours of June 30th a Union cavalry man under the command of General George Armstrong Custer sent a bullet whizzing by the hat of Confederate General Jeb Stuart causing him to exclaim "Fuck it, let's go around." And it was at this precise instant that the consciousness of the primordial traveler known as the Gabe surged into the physical realms, bonding instantaneously to a single lock of General Stuart's facemane. It was then that a fateful event took place (known as Incident Zero among the scientific community) when a small, but clear voice emanated forth from the jungle of Jeb Stuart's beard. The voice was noted by serval of Stuart's aides as having uttered a single word:

"Chad."

Current Sightings
Anyway, we're pretty sure he lives near Wakefield now.
