With this implant, Gabriel Vaughn is the first human ever to be connected directly into the worldwide information grid and have complete access to Internet, WiFi, telephone and satellite data. He can hack into any data center and access key Intel in the fight to protect the United States from its enemies. Leading the elite government cyber-security agency created to support him is Director Lillian Strand, a straightforward and efficient boss who oversees the unit's missions.

Other skilled members of the Cybercom team include Chris Jameson and Gonzalo "Gonzo" Rodriguez two resourceful federal investigators. The brains behind the design of the chip is Dr. Shenendoah Cassidy, whose son, Nelson is jealous of Gabriel's prominent place in his father's life.
