Lewis Gavriel was the mayor of the town of Pelruan, on the island of Vectes, in 15 A.E. when the Coalition of Ordered Governments resettled the island following the sinking of Jacinto. He had lived on the island for more than twenty years when Delta Squad arrived, and in addition to being mayor was head of maintenance at Vectes Naval Base. After the COG collapsed and abandoned Vectes, Gavriel traveled with the rest of the population of Pelruan to the fort of Anvil Gate, where he became the mayor while Col. Victor Hoffman commanded the garrison.
