Pre-series
Nothing is known about his past except for the fact that he was a prisoner at the same prison as Declan, and was one of the prisoners that immediately joined The General upon the tyrant's break-in to search for new recruits for his personal army. Gareth shows immediate loyalty to the man.

Season 1
Gareth is introduced as a mysterious figure in a red hooded sweater, making a scene at a local family restaurant in Glenley, Kentucky. The police bring him in as he is unfamiliar, and they question how he got into the gates. Calling him "Red Hood", he is isn't very helpful to their investigation and refuses to talk much. They discover that he cut a hole in the fence surrounding the town and some zombies have gotten in from the outside. His allegiance is said to be of a tyrant calling himself The General. Later, it is discovered that Gareth has murdered five citizens of the town, planning to have them turn to zombies. He mocks the town's ignorance of what's outside and when Gwen, a diplomat from the metropolis New Venice arrives in town, he tells her that this was all a plot to bring her there so they can burn the town down and kill all of the "hillbillies" that live there, along with her. The fall of Glenley is said to only be a warm-up, with Gwen dying there so that they can bring down New Venice. He shows disgust at the ways of civilization. When The General and his Jugulators arrive and start slaughtering the people of Glenley, Gareth is freed from the police station.
