Biography

At some point Gibson has become an employee of the British consulate in Mexico City.

One day in 2014 Gibson had an arrangement with Vicente, according to which he visited a prison in Mexico City to talk with a United Kingdom citizen John Constantine who, at the time, was posessed by demon Pazuzu. As a result, the conversation went nervously, leaving Gibson with the impression that Constantine has no respect for the Crown, which made it easier for him to make it so Constantine won't leave the prison easily, as Vicente wanted.

Nahash infiltrating the prison as Stanley Gibson.

During the meeting with Vicente later in the evening, Gibson was obviously shaken by the encounter. Receiving a bribe from Vicente for retrieving John Constantine's case files and giving the latter a hard time in prison, Gibson noticed that Vicente was giving him a weird look. Asking what his benefactor was doing, Stanley recieved a smug answer that he was "measured". Vicente, also known as the demon Nahash then proceeded to swallow Gibson fully and shapeshifted into him to infiltrate the prison and assasinate John Constantine.
