Name: Reynaldo "Rey" Gomez
Age: 37
Codename: Manhattan
Role on team: "Diplomat"
Bio:
Having served for over 15 years as a mole, Rey knew it was against the rules to get involved in such a direct way. But he just couldn't see himself just sitting down and watching everything unfold. He had to act, even if it meant being taken out of the undercover division, or worse, the NYPD. The time was 5:27 P.M., and the kid's party was about to start. Not doing anything would mean over 30 kids, their mothers and scumbag fathers would die. It had taken him about three years to gain trust from Manhattan Project, a bunch of heroin and crack pushing gangsters who claimed to have a nuclear weapon (although he hadn't gotten any concrete evidence of this); and he was about to throw it all out to save a bunch of snot-nosed, future gangbangers.
Rey had already tried convincing the "crew" he was hanging out with that this was a bad idea but, for the first time in a long time, no one listened to him. He had tried speaking to the big dogs. They just laughed. He tried talking to his contacts on the force. It was too early to act, or so they claimed. So with little time left, he took matters on his own hands armed with only a .38 special and his own hands. The rest is a blur, not even the official reports make more sense, and most contradict each other. What is clear, however, is that if it hadn't been for SHIELD and their Rebirth Initiative, Rey wouldn't be alive. And that is something he is grateful for.
Personality:
Although it can be difficult to tell if he is being sincere or just opportunistic, Rey is a charismatic man who can make most people feel instantly comfortable in his presence. With just a couple of minutes he could make a cartographer doubt the roundness of earth, something he has probably done on several occasions.
Weapon:
A pair of tonfas, made out of vibranium.
Skills:
Although not as physically imposing as the rest of the team, Rey's charms and brains allows him to get the team an early upper hand on many situations. Need to take down a corrupt dictator? BAM! Rey can get the locals to revolt against him. Not sure of what are the intentions of a multi-national technology developer? POW! Rey will infiltrate it, find out who they are working for and make love to the biggest investor's wife (you know, to start some internal conflict). Always using his brain and tongue before any other muscle, Rey is also a firm believer in dedicating a heavy amount of time preparing for a mission, disliking those that need to be rushed.
