Gage is a character in Zoombies, played by Andrew Asper. He is a college student and intern at the Eden Wildlife Zoo.

Biography
As an intern at the Eden Wildlife Zoo, Gage works under Dr. Ellen Rogers in the hopes of learning all that it takes to run a zoo. She first instructs him to take an inventory of the gas cans, but the task is interrupted by the concern of the alarm at the vet clinic and the unresponsiveness of the people currently there. Gage goes along with the security team to investigate.

When they get to the vet clinic and are attacked by the infected monkeys, Gage helps the head of security, Rex, by removing a monkey from his body and dragging him out of the room. Gage then kills another monkey by beating it against the wall. He then continues on with the security team to the African exhibit, where he helps protect Amber from an attacking giraffe, getting bit in the process. When Amber steals the Jeep, he continues on elephant with Lizzy and Rex. They are then attacked by lemurs, but saved by A.J. and Dax.

Taking shelter in the gorilla sanctuary, Gage suggests the idea of escaping by using the zoo's zipline, which Rex deems as too dangerous. Kifo then attacks, and Gage escapes with A.J. and Lizzy thanks to Rex sacrifice himself as a distraction. They then hear Amber's voice and go to find her. Amber is very injured and dies shortly after she is found, which greatly troubles Gage.

Lions then attack, and they drive away on the Jeep Amber stole to escape. Gage helps shoot the chasing lions alongside Lizzy. The trio then take the zipline down to the main office, and Gage and Lizzy survive the trip. They then help Dr. Rogers' plan to use the gas cans to blow up the aviary to prevent the spread of the virus. Gage and Lizzy first enter the aviary to try and save Chelsea and Ricky, but find them dead. They then destroy the aviary and begin to escape. Kifo chases and attacks, but Gage survives and makes it out on the rescue helicopter with Dr. Rogers, Thea, and Lizzy.

Personality & Relationships
Gage is generally very concerned with doing things properly, wearing a nicer suit than necessary for working at the zoo and pointing out breaches of protocol. He is very eager to learn the administrative aspects of the zoo director's job, less interested in more menial tasks.

Gage is seen capable of doing first aid. He is very concerned about his own injuries, wondering if he will become infected by the virus or by bacteria.

Gage knew Amber from college prior to them joining the same internship program. Although she was not always kind to him, he did seem to care for her, as he was especially troubled by her death.
