Ángel Hernandez

Ángel Hernandez (age: late 30s) is a police officer in Devils Lake, husband of Rosa Hernandez, and father of Karina and Jose Hernandez.

Personality
Ángel is easygoing and optimistic. He often extols the virtues of positive thinking to his wife and coworkers. A sense of justice and fairness is also important to him; however, though he will point out problems within the police department, he often fails to take a principled stand because of his desire to avoid conflict with his coworkers. His easy-going nature also makes it difficult for him as a parent, since he tends to act as more of a friend to his children than an authority figure. Rosa sometimes resents this, arguing that it forces her to always be the bad guy.

Biography
The Hernandez family moved from El Paso Texas to allow Rosa to pursue a promotion. Ángel is consistently supportive of his wife's career, despite being teased by his coworkers for having a wife who outranks him. One such incident leads to an uncharacteristic outburst of anger: Ángel and police officer Richard Hooper almost come to blows when Richard relentlessly challenges Ángel's masculinity in relation to his wife while drinking at Applebee's. When Ángel finally snaps (likely due to the alcohol in his system) Richard backs down immediately, saying that Ángel proved he has "cajones" after all and volunteering to buy him another drink.

Death
After responding to a call about a drunken brawl at Applebee's, Ángel discovers that the situation is actually much more severe: a man with superhuman strength (Subject 93) is brutally beating restaurant patrons and destroying furniture. Angel attempts to taze Subject 93 to no effect and is thrown into a rack of liquor bottles behind the bar. Bleeding from broken glass, Ángel then takes out his gun and opens fire on Subject 93, who laughs and walks towards him, seemingly unphased by the bullets puncturing his body. While Ángel is reloading, Subject 93 breaks the leg off a table and proceeds to beat Ángel to death with it. Ángel is hailed as a hero after his death and credited for saving the lives of those who were able to escape the Applebee's.
