ABOUT:

Gus began investigating the Santos Family in Chicago and his investigation led him Springfield in 2001. When some files were destroyed, Gus became partnered with Harley Cooper.

Originally a man out to get revenge, Gus has developed into a man with a strong sense of family. He will stop at nothing, including breaking the law to protect those who are important to him. This was proven when he covered up his sister's involvement in a shooting.

Always fond of telling stories of how he grew up and of his father, he was shocked to learn that he was adopted. Gus found out that his biological father was none other than Alan Spaulding. The two bonded when Gus's aunt was trying to poison Alan so that he would think he was going crazy.

Thinking that he would never turn to his biological family, Gus found himself living with them when things with Harley didn't work out as planned.

Gus didn't give up on Harley, who he viewed as his one true love. He defended her in the murder trial of his brother, Phillip Spaulding and then fought for her to give them another chance. Eventually they married, and though things between them haven't been easy he has not given up on the woman he considers his one true love.
