Name: Gabriel Moreno

Age: 30

Species: Flamingo / Human

Role: Inmate

Gabriel Moreno is one of the oldest members of the cast, and one of the cast members with the most prison experience. He has spent the last 8 years of his life in prison, and is now spending his last 10 in minimum security after supposedly good behaviour in medium security.  As a result of his experience, he has gone into Triation as a "higher level" inmate. He runs the prison barbers, a hub of communications and exchanging information in quick succession. He enjoys leading a team and being in charge, and shares a lot of responsibility with Oliver - since they know each other from their time at Medium Security together. 

While he acts professional, polite and friendly outwardly, he is quite a dark person. From his life working in organised crime, he has a hardened personality and fierce temper he can't quite seem to shake for good. He's trying, though. Gabriel butts heads with Dion frequently throughout the series, as Dion becomes his new trainee under the barbering scheme.

----

Gabriel plays an important role later in the series as a tie to the backstory and prison life prior to Hal's introduction. He also has a lot of backstory with Oliver and Phil. 

• Hal has a mid-low range voice


• His voice when talking causally is friendly, even slightly sassy. However, he can turn dark and fierce fast. 


• Gabriel's accent is unspecified. Please feel free to audition regardless of accent!

Gabriel leans into Dion, grabs his jaw and turns Dion's head.

GABRIEL

But this boy has never touched a pair of hair scissors in his life. Does he even want to be here?

DION

I don't want to be here.

GABRIEL

(he makes a "hm," sound)

There you have it. The kid doesn't want to be here, and I don't want him running a muck in my space. I think I know how this goes.

Gabriel stands up at full height and nods, walking over to the corner with Oliver. Gabriel turns up the music on the radio beside them, causing Dion to cover his ears from the sudden noise.

OLIVER

Help me out here, please? I think he'd be good for you.

GABRIEL

Are you saying that because it'd be good for me, or it'd be good for you? I would love to help you Oliver, but I need someone qualified. I'm not running an apprentice program here.

He's working on a client when he notices the group - he gives them a sassy smirk and a wave.

OLIVER

This is the barbershop - Gabriel is our main barber. Don't underestimate his flamboyant appearance, he knows his way around a pair of boxing gloves. He runs a tight ship, don't mess him around.

GABRIEL

He's right, you know! If you need a trim or a shave, just give me a call. Respect my time, respect my space, and we'll get along just fine.
