## History

### Early Life

Gabriel Nox is the son of Merissa Vega, a Voldrakian princess, and a Voldrakian boy named Marcel. He was conceived during a Voldrakian Marriage Trial where his father died saving his mother. Both his parents were gifted with the Sight, and Marcel foresaw that Gabriel would be the best Seer of his generation. At the end of the marriage trial, Merissa was to be married to the man that killed Marcel. Once he was born, his existence was hidden so to not draw the ire of the man she was to marry. While preparing for her marriage, she caught the eye of Hail Vega, and they began an affair. Eventually Hail took her and Gabriel to Solaria, and Gabriel finally met Hail. From the moment they met, Hail loved him as his own. Merissa and Hail married, and told the world that Gabriel was an orphan who they took in as their ward. Hail planned on adopting Gabriel as soon as the true Heirs were born. When Gabriel was seven, the palace was attacked by Nymphs. Gabriel’s life was entrusted to the hands of Ling Astrum who swore to King Vega to always look after him but never reveal his true identity. Gabriel’s memories were blocked, and Astrum gave him to a couple to raise as there own son and regularly kept sending a generous amount of money to the couple. When Gabriel got older Ling started sending him messages under the alias Falling Star.

### Zodiac Academy

#### The Awakening

The day before The Awakening, Gabriel called Lance to stand outside of and watch Pete’s house the next day. Lance asked Gabriel to keep an eye on his fate the next day. While he was standing outside of the house, he saw Darcy sneak into the house. After Darcy got away, Gabriel texted Lance telling him to pick up all the cash she had dropped.

On the first day of classes, Gabriel texted Lance during the freshman Cardinal Magic class. He asked about the Vega twins, and Lance said they didn’t seem like they should be too much of a problem. Gabriel warned him not to underestimate the girls, and to follow his heart. After pitball practice, Gabriel texted Lance “Your new path is gilded in sunlight and surrounded by shadow. Don’t step off of it.”

On the first Friday of the school year, Gabriel visited Lance and brought him dinner. They discussed his drinking habit, and the Vega twins. Lance told him about the Vega twins, and Gabriel was surprised by one of the visions he saw following the discussion. The vision was likely something about Lance and Darcy. Gabriel confided in Orion that he was concerned and scared. There was a darkness shrouding his Sight, and he couldn’t see everyone clearly or anticipate danger. Gabriel asked Lance if he thought about his text from a few days prior. Gabriel reiterated that he needed to follow the light and try taking the path of least resistance and maybe then he could be happy. They spent a little while catching up and talking about Gabriel’s family before Lance left to meet Francesca

The night of the first dance at Zodiac Academy, Gabriel came and visited Lance just before the dance started. Gabriel came into his house and saw bourbon bottles littering the counter. He warned that if he didn’t get a grip he would start spiraling and miss out on the best fate of his life. He took all the alcohol from Lance’s house, and dumped the open bottles down the drain. He told Lance to follow his instincts and to do his job tonight or he’d regret it. Despite the warning, Gabriel still looked sad and when questioned he said “sometimes terrible things have to happen for new paths to arise, and I have to let them”. Gabriel then warned Lance that at 9 o’clock he had to step away from the Vegas and the Heirs.

After Lance saved Tory, Gabriel flew in and warned him that he had to go to Darius and stop him from taking on Lionel that night. If Lance failed to stop Darius, he would die.

## Personality

In the Zodiac Academy Series so has Gabriel a very happy personality. He is very social and likes to joke around. Because he grow up in foster home without any real family or parents so does he value he’s own family very much. In his younger years on Aurora Academy so was he very cold against people he didn’t now or trust. He most of the time so did he live for himself. But when he meet Elise Callisto so did he show a more affectionate and protective side.
