Gabriel Cade was a 23-year-old Bartender from Celo, North Carolina when he competed on
Survivor: Marquesas. A classically trained cellist, thru-hiker who completed the Appalachian Trail, and former competitive figure skater, Gabriel brought an unconventional background to the Rotu tribe. He formed a close bond with John Carroll but refused to commit to the Rotu Alliance, preferring to let fate decide his path in the game. Gabriel's reluctance to play strategically led to his elimination on Day 15 as the Rotu majority viewed him as untrustworthy.
