Season 2
Gus begins his service as Sun Hunter under Vaun as his direct superior, together they seize Setrakian who is overpowered and strongarmed by Vaun and his entourage. They bring him to the three Ancients for whom Vaun is speaking via telepathic messages[The extras portraying the ancient's might not be credited actos and thus cannot have a speaking role, maybe]. Vaun demands to know what Setrakian is up to and that he knows he fought the Master. He shares the information that all ancient are linked together being one entity and that the Master broke that union and shielded himself from the link, but when he was attacked and immersed in sunlight, he was no longer able to defy the Ancient's connection to him and they were able to see what he saw thus they learned about Setrakian's involvement in the fight. Gus witnesses this and the Ancient's are vissibly angered and frightened by Setrakian's knowledge and pursuit of the Occido Lumen as well as his request to share with him the knowledge how to destroy the Master. For obvious reasons the Ancient's will not reveal how to destroy one of them. The Ancients ponder whether they kill Setrakian on the spot for being a threat to them and for having gathered so much knowledge about them while they seek to exist unknown to mankind.
Gus later trains under Vaun's guidance fighting against Strigoi, most likely propageted by the master and kidnapped by Vaun's team members. He successfully kills them with firearms and in hand to hand combat. He carries gloves to prevent direct skin contact with the stinger he rips out of the strigoi's throat, effectively disembowelling it and killing it permanently.
Gus grows angry that Vaun only gave him two bullets and Vaun taunts him even further when he merely says he should have checked the gun to which Gus defiantly responds that he should have checked his sanity instead and forced Vaun to reveal what their next mission is going to be or he quits working for him immediately.
Vaun reveals their plan to kidnap Eldritch Palmer and Gus involment in it is to pose as a contractor who checks the elevators in the Stoneheart headquarters. Gus updates the operating firmware in the elevator to enable him to get into Palmer's residence on the upper levels of the building. Vaun and the vampires hang form below and enter the elevator cabin from the ground hatch opened by Gus. When they finally arrive in Palmer's office they find it empty unknown to them a security protocol has been activated and the unauthorized hijacking of the elevator was monitored by other security staff. Palmer watches Vaun and his crew along with Gus searching the office to no avail. Palmer activates a UV light trap that cannot be destroyed by firearms and so Vaun and his team are pitted in to the center of the office where they are about to be killed by UV light. Gus tries to save Vaun who refuses and states that he is too important and tells him to leave promptly.
Gus leaves and roams the street when he finds a Indian food restaurant where he is poorly received by the dishwasher Angel who pegs Gus as a gang member. Gus ignorant to foreign food is treated with a more friendly attitude by the daughter of the older lady who seemingly owns or runs this place.
After a second Gus is served by the mother who disapproves of her daughter's friendly reception towards Gus. Angel is even more aggressive to Gus and Gus jumps up menacingly to counter Angel's derogatory remarks.
After leaving the restaurant: Gus approaches Angel in the back alley and recognizes Angel as who he was in his younger days, a famous wrestler and B-movie actor by watching his body language and perceiving his limp that matches that Angel de la Plata.
