Archangel Gabriel

"Gabriel" or "The Holy Spirit" is the true main antagonist of The Mandela Catalogue and the first Alternatehttps://www.makeship.com/products/gabriel-vinyl-figure. He served as overarching antagonist in Act 1, and central antagonist in Act 2. It is a Type Two Alternate first appearing in Overthrone, where it systematically sabotages the Annunciation, and presumably prevents Christ from being born. After this, it claims itself to be the "one true savior" of humanity, implying that it has taken Christ's role in history. 
==Description==
This so-called Gabriel is a pale-skinned, blond-haired archangel seen wearing white robes. When showing his true appearance his eyes grow in size and his mouth is stretched into a smile. This alternate has some slight differences from true Archangel Gabriel, such as a longer face and hair and a lack of wings.
"Gabriel" often speaks in a whisper. He claims to be the one true savior of humanity, whether genuinely believing it or mocking the idea is unknown. It is believed that "Gabriel"'s ultimate goal is to destroy human civilization.
==Biography==
===Overthrone===
The True Gabriel is seen at the start of Overthrone delivering the message of Christ's birth to the shepherds before departing with a choir of angels. It is implied that true Gabriel was replaced with a false one after this. 
The Alternate Gabriel's first appearance is during his message to Mary. He is first seen with an impossibly stretched, alien-like face before being censored by a black box. He tells her that he has a message, and when Mary responds surprised the screen goes static and whispering can be heard. With close captions on, the following can read in binary: "I am the one true savior. I must reverse the delusion. Joseph is next." to which Mary supposedly complies.
"Gabriel" later appears in Joseph's window as he sleeps, telling him: "I will fool the shepherds. I will know their greatest fear. I will know your greatest fear." then repeatedly telling Joseph to wake up.
"Gabriel" meets with the shepherds, his face still censored, claiming to be the one true savior, knowing what they love and dread. The black box slowly disappears and "Gabriel" 's true appearance is revealed as a distorted version of the “Jesus Loves Me” song plays, then glitches with Gabriel’s image on the screen.
===The THINK Principle===
Gabriel makes a brief appearance when he is used as the reference for Type Two: Detectable Alternates. In The Mandela Catalogue Vol 1 and Vol 1 RESTORED, this part is omitted in the THINK Principle section.
===Exhibition===
"Gabriel" appears before Noah to punish him for constructing the Ark by having him bring another creature onto the boat, claiming that he won't notice at first but to wait until he feels a change in his mind. "Gabriel" says he won't even realize it has taken form until he sees it, where it will then give Noah a message, his last message.
With subtitles on, the following can be be read: "2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." The first hint at Gabriel's true identity.
=== The Mandela Catalogue Vol.333 ===
"Gabriel" is referenced in Mark's book of reaffirmations, in which he wrote down his prayers during the last days of his life.
It's implied that Mark had succumbed to M.A.D as he wrote in the book, as seen by the multiple scribbles in the book, preceded by the message "Who have I been praying to all this time?", implying that Mark had found out about "Gabriel" taking over Christianity and lost all hope after that.
"Gabriel" is physically seen in the post-credits scene, where he slowly fades in next to a statue of Christ's crucification, foreshadowing a future episode.
=== The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 4 ===
"Gabriel" at the beginning, waking Adam, and called him. After Adam came, a robed figure hiding his own face, was behind a tree in the Garden of Eden, before the scene cuts to a thick cloud of fog which clears into an apple. (The forbidden fruit)
This is the second hint about the true identity of Fake "Gabriel". (This moment was previously shown in a clipping from Beginner's Bible.)
Later, in 'malignance', "Gabriel" appears behind Dave Lee, who was going to the church, and says that the stage was set for him yet he followed the shepherd. Gabriel then calls him a fool, claiming that he lived his life completely clueless, and says his existence meant nothing. Dave fearfully says to him that he is not real and that he didn't accomplish anything. "Gabriel" states that Dave has already done its bidding and laughs maniacally. Dave drops to the ground and dies.
=== Mandela Catalyst ===
"Gabriel" makes a brief appearance, where he tells Thatcher Davis to wake up and go visit Adam's house.
=== The Story of Easter ===
Three days after the Crucifixion, "Gabriel" scares off Roman guards, who were outside of the tomb, causing them to run away. After that, three women (with one of them being Mary Magdalena) were seen taking a walk before seeing the guards running away from a person who looks like an angel. Mary Magdalena later notices the tomb and goes inside, only to notice a strange robed figure instead of the Christ, who potentially told something relevant about the latter while whispering at her, only to fade away. Mary Magdalena later returns back to happily announce something presumably relevant to their "savior" to two nuns while whispering before fading away.
=== The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 5 ===
As a Shepherd is distressed one of his sheeps' death and asks God for forgiveness, "Gabriel" appears to present him with a healthy, alive and strangely photorealistic sheep.
Later, in the present day, a false shepherd will appear in a dream to Jude, saying that he supposed to have been in his wife's place in that tragedy.
As the Shepherd returns to Jane's home after a hallucination, the former asks about his whereabouts, with Jane responding that they are in her farm or home. The shepherd interrupts Jane saying "he's here", to which Jane asks who's it. Jane later asks what's wrong, only for "Gabriel" to appear again behind her in order to kill the latter. The shepherd then asks if he's here before witnessing her corpse, causing him to run away before presumably getting killed by "Gabriel".
=== Unraveling Pt. 1 ===
"Gabriel", though not likely, appears behind the woman around the 4th loop of the TikTok video.
==Speculations ==
*It is speculated that "Gabriel" is The Antichrist.
**It is very unlikely becuase even if its probably not canon, Alex was said that Jesus Christ is been replaced with the Antichrist.
**
*
*It is speculated that the alternate appearing in Unraveling, Pt. 1 is "Gabriel".
==Trivia ==
*The music playing after Gabriel's face distorts in Overthrone is a cover of "Jesus Loves Me" by Listener Kids.
*The website Alex Kister used to simulate "Gabriel" 's voice is fasthub.net, the same text to speech that was used for Tara The Android.
