Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, in April 1975, Miguel Reyes and his family emigrated to the U.S. when he was five. As the middle child of five kids, and the only boy, Miguel gained a deep respect for women at a young age. On his high school graduation night, he witnessed a woman being assaulted by her jealous boyfriend, and chose to intervene and stop him. The sense of protecting a woman inspired Miguel to study law enforcement and join the police academy. Once instated to the N.O.P.D., Miguel quickly rose through the ranks, even managing to make Lieutenant at a young age.
