Pauly Gambino

39

A hardened 39-year-old Bronx native from a large Italian-American family, Pauly Gambino spent 12 years as a U.S. Army Ranger before becoming a Kentucky police officer and SWAT team member. He's a rugged, sharp-eyed man with a sarcastic mouth, a stubborn streak, and a temper that's gotten him into trouble more than once. Years of service taught him discipline under pressure, but civilian life never came easy. His pride makes accepting help difficult, his distrust of strangers often clouds his judgment, and his need for control can put him at odds with others. Fiercely loyal to those who earn his respect, Pauly will risk his own neck for someone he considers family, sometimes recklessly. Beneath his tough exterior, he's carrying the weight of unanswered questions about his family back in New York, his missing fellow officers, and an elusive old friend somewhere in Kentucky. He's not looking to be anyone's hero but hasn't forgot his past either.
