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." 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.
