Who is Gabriel Barbosa?
Gabriel is one of the central characters of NeuroBar, who suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of the chaotic scenario of the American underworld. But it should not be said that he becomes the protagonist against his will; rather, it is his own actions and decisions that lead him to become committed to the central plot.
Barbosa is the son of a gay couple, both involved in justice and politics in the city. Due to a strained relationship with his parents, Gabriel strives not to disappoint them and to prove himself, sometimes to his own detriment.
A lover of antiques and old technology, he detests the technological overload of the 23rd Century and is a great detractor of Neuroshots and Neuro-Drinks.
His last serious relationship was with Marcia de la Fuente, another detective with a promising future. Things didn’t end well with her, and after that Gabriel focused on his life’s goal: “cleaning up” Amerisia.
