**Gabriel Agreste** is the main antagonist of "Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir". He is a famous fashion designer across Paris and other places who created and owns the fashion brand, *Gabriel*. He is also the husband of Emilie Agreste and the father of Adrien Agreste, who models for him.

## Abilities

### As Gabriel

Gabriel is an expert at designing fashions for clothes, accessories, and jewelry. According to Audrey Bourgeois, the harshest fashion critic, she didn't see other talents as great as his until she met Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Additionally, owning the *Gabriel* brand, Gabriel is well-versed at running a business, including solving problems by phone concerning design issues and presenting himself professionally when around others.

Gabriel has good hindsight and suspicions about things, revealing he had suspected that there are more Miraculouses in the city and a guardian after Rena Rouge's appearance. In "Syren", he reveals that he'd suspected that Miraculouses had hidden powers after seeing Ladybug and Chat Noir in their aqua forms. He also believed that Adrien could be Cat Noir until he indirectly tricked him that he wasn't. According to Miraculous Secrets, he caused chaos in Paris in the first place, not only to find superheroes, but a guardian in the city to decipher the spellbook.

He later noticed Ladybug's disappearances in the middle of battles to bring allies, suspecting that she went to the Guardian of the Miraculouses.

Despite being often outsmarted by Ladybug, Gabriel proved to be a brilliant strategist and tactician. Not being deceived by Ladybug like his villains, he has proven himself to be cautious and careful like the superheroine herself. In order to avoid the suspicion of being Hawk Moth, he akumatizes himself. He showed that he is willing to use dirty or unfair tactics such as using sheer numbers to wear the superheroes down and resorting to surprise attacks, as seen in “Heroes’ Day”. He noticed that both Lila and Chloé had great potential and unfinished business with Ladybug, planning to use this to his advantage not only to akumatize them (especially the latter as she had a Miraculous) but also form alliances with them.

Since Nathalie stole Fu's tablet with the deciphered spellbook pages, Gabriel has knowledge about the process to repair Miraculouses, several spells such as the incantation needed for the wish-granting power of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses, and the recipes for the potions which grant more powers to the holders. However just like, Master Fu and Marinette, since the former master was only able to partially decode the Miraculous spellbook, it's likely his understanding is limited as well.

Gabriel has many talents, which his son later learned: He is very skilled at fencing, knows how to play the piano and perform a duo, and is able to speak Japanese and other languages fluently. Furthermore, Gabriel is able to grow and harvest butterflies.

### As Hawk Moth

Hawk Moth has enhanced skills such as speed, agility, strength, and near-invulnerability. Despite the fact that he doesn't often fight directly, Hawk Moth is a capable sword fighter, being able to defend himself and destroy miniature missiles from his own lair's defense protocol with his swordstick. His prowess is enough to overpower younger combatants like Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Even without being transformed, Hawk Moth's Miraculous allows him to feel emotions, whether positive or negative, like an empath, so he can precisely pinpoint the person's name and the reason why they have negative emotions. Hawk Moth can control many akumas to form a swarm that makes a large version of his head, which he can speak through, which is shown in "Stoneheart".

Hawk Moth's main superpower is Akumatization, charging butterflies with dark energy, which transforms them into akumas and then sending them out to possess an object of a vulnerable person. He can also keep his butterflies in his cane if he needs to use an akuma in another location other than his lair. If his targets agree to serve him, he transforms them into supervillains by corrupting their personalities and granting them a wide variety of superpowers or special abilities. He can also telepathically communicate with his so-called "winners". A pink butterfly-shaped outline appears in front of his and the villains' faces when he does so.

However, he is only able to create one villain at a time over the course of an indeterminate amount of time, he needs to convince his victims to accept the powers that he grants, and the akumatized that he creates do still have a will of their own and can either disobey him or carry out his orders incompetently. Still, if a supervillain doesn't go and retrieve the Miraculous like they were asked to, Hawk Moth can control their bodies for a brief amount of time in order to inflict pain onto them until they agree to do it as quickly as possible. He is also capable of purifying an akuma himself.

When an akuma isn't purified by Ladybug, it will multiply and turn other people into frozen copies of the original akumatized villain. Hawk Moth can recall and trap the original akuma in the top of his cane in order to release it again when the victim gets sad or angry once more. This turns the victim into the same akumatized villain, but it also unfreezes the copies of them, which the original villain can command and control.

However, once the original akuma is de-evilized, its copies vanish, reverting the duplicates of the villain back to normal. As shown in Miraculous Shanghai, Hawk Moth can reuse a released akuma instead of multiplying it, akumatizing another person when in need. Hawk Moth is capable of akumatizing any kind of being, not only humans, as long they are capable of feeling emotions. He was able to akumatize Markov, who is an AI with real emotions, Master Fu's Dormant Sentimonster, that is a sentimonster, and Mei Shi, who is a lion spirit.

### As Monarch

Due to possessing 15 Miraculous, Monarch is immensely powerful and can wield the signature abilities of each jewel. However, the more he uses in tandem, the more a toll it takes on his body. In this form, he can use (in addition to his powers as a Butterfly Miraculous user):

* Mirage to cast and communicate through hyper-realistic illusions
* Venom to paralyze anyone he touches with the spinning top
* Shell-ter to create a nigh-unbreakable force field
* Multitude to split himself into any amount of smaller clones
* Resistance to gain immunity to other superpowers
* Clout to gain an energy boost and release it as a punch that overwhelms anything it encounters
* Burrow to travel through time and space
	+ This is the power of the first Miraculous taken back from him by Kepik and Neko Rouge
* Wind, Water, and Lightning Dragon to transform and manipulate the elements of wind, water, and lightning
* Second Chance to rewind time to a previously marked moment allowing him to correct any issues or mistakes that occurred in the original timeline.
* Voyage to open a portal to anywhere in the universe
* Genesis to create any object he desires, but the object is mundane and lacks any superpower/magic/mythical properties
* Uproar to manifest a toy that chaotically disrupts an opponent's superpowers when touched
* Sublimation to grant himself a superability of his choosing but
* Fetch to retrieve a previously marked item, no matter where it is
* Gift to manifest an image of a person's happiest desire, placating them and driving away negative forces.

After coming across the drawback of wearing too many Miraculous at the same time, the loss of the Rabbit Miraculous and almost losing completely after falling for a trap prepared by Kepik, Monarch decides to use the powers he had stolen from Kepik in a way that doesn't cause him to be negatively affected or at the risk of losing any more Miraculous. With the help of a technology developed by Tomoe Tsurugi and her company, Monarch melted all the Miraculous in his possession (except for the Butterfly) and reforged them into technolized rings that allows him to transfer the power of the Miraculous to his akumatized villains without the need to wear the Miraculous and unify any of them with his Butterfly Miraculous. He can only do this as long the akumatized villain is in possession of an Alliance Ring.

### As The Collector

The Collector is able to trap objects and people in the form of drawings inside his notebook. He throws the notebook like a boomerang, and while the notebook can go very far distances, once it captures something or someone by hitting them, it returns to him wherever he is.

This is intensified as he can summon it. He can also utilize the notebook as a shield against projectiles, opening the book, either holding it sturdily or waving it around, so it traps the object being thrown towards him. Anything it passes through is trapped, no matter how big it is. However, there is a limit to how much can be absorbed, as shown when Ladybug used a makeshift conveyor belt to launch a barrage of Adrien's CDs at him, and he used his book to absorb them.
When he then tried to absorb Ladybug, he found that the book's pages were all full and could not absorb anything more. Additionally, The Collector is quick and agile, easily flipping, jumping, and dodging attacks. With his tablet, he might implied to have infinite storage.

### As Scarlet Moth

Scarlet Moth has the same abilities as Hawk Moth, but he is stronger as he can create as many akumatized villains as he desires. This is caused by his cane getting affected by Catalyst's enhancement. He can use his cane to summon more scarlet akumas to make the heroes feel intimidated and outnumbered. Instead of creating normal akumas, he creates scarlet akumas, which are dark crimson red, just like the akumatized.

Unlike normal akumatized villains, Scarlet Moth can akumatize his victims without having to ask for their permission, and the created villains are bound to obey him, showing that the will that they still had a normal akumatization is now diminished. He used Dark Cupid to create the negative emotions he needed so he could akumatize more villains.

### As Shadow Moth

As Shadow Moth, Gabriel possesses the abilities of both the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculouses, having the ability to create akumatized champions along with sentimonsters as their allies. He also possesses both the Butterfly Miraculous's cane and the Peacock Miraculous's hand fan as a weapon, using the feathers of the latter to create his amoks. Shadow Moth can either revive dormant sentimonsters or destroy them through releasing their amoks, even if he isn't the one who created them.

### As Shadow Noir

As Shadow Noir, he possesses the abilities of both the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses in addition to the Cat Miraculous, having the ability to create akumatized supervillains along with sentimonsters as their allies, as well being able to use Cataclysm. He also possesses the Butterfly Miraculous's cane, the Peacock Miraculous's hand fan and the Cat Miraculous's staff as his weapons.

### As Monarbug

As Monarbug, he possesses both the abilities of the Butterfly and Ladybug Miraculouses, having the ability to create akumatized supervillains, along with the use of Lucky Charm, the ability to de-evilize his own akumas, and use Miraculous Monarbug to revert and fix the damage with the Lucky Charm object. He possesses both the cane and the yo-yo as weapons.

In addition, Monarbug also possesses the same capability to use or transfer the Miraculous superpowers his rings grant him, he used Venom, Multitude, Sublimation, Resistance, and Voyage to capture Scarabella and Kitty Noire's Miraculouses and in his battle with Ladybug and the Resistance.

**Gabriel Agreste** is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Alya Césaire) of *Miraculous World: Paris - Tales of Shadybug & Claw Noir*. He is the heroic counterpart of **Gabriel Agreste** from a Parallel universe. When Nooroo inhabits the Butterfly Miraculous, he transforms into **Betterfly**, a butterfly-themed superhero.

## Appearance

### Physical appearance

Because he is Gabriel Agreste's counterpart in another universe, he has a similar appearance to him, but with a middle part hairstyle.

### Civilian attire

He wears a blue vest with a peach collar shirt, a dark blue ascot tie with a triangular blue pattern, and white round glasses.

### As Betterfly

Betterfly wears a light purple dress shirt, over which he wears a dark indigo jacket with a lighter purple butterfly-shaped lapel-like adorn coming from the central button of his jacket. He also wears dark indigo pants and dress shoes without laces, purple gloves, a dark purple butterfly-shaped mask over his face, and a light purple cavalier shoulder cape that resembles butterfly wings, and his hairstyle is white middle part.

### As Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel was similar to Gabriel in appearance, but with his body and clothes appearing to be made entirely of white feathers. He was seen wearing a tailcoat and had big white wings and completely white eyes. His kamikotized object, his glasses, seemed to be the only part of his form not made of feather.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

In the theme song like his counterpart he has skills of the fashion industry.

### As Betterfly

Like his **villainous counterpart**, he can use the power of the Butterfly Miraculous to give superpowers to individuals. However, unlike him, who can create Akumas to turn people into Supervillains, Betterfly creates Kamikos, which are able to kamikotize them into superheroes. It would appear that Betterfly is able to shoot the kamikos directly to his targets, instead of just directing them and let them fly naturally to them. He can also undo any transformation originated from the Butterfly Miraculous, by purifying the butterfly used on it, being it a kamiko or an akuma.

### As Guardian Angel

Like a real angel, he had wings that allowed him to fly. However, his real power was his ability to protect his allies from any attack. To activate his power, he involved his allies with his wings, marking their backs with wing marks and then disappearing. As long his allies had his mark, they became protected from any attack that may have landed on him. When they were attacked, a swarm of white feathers were released from the mark and involved the assaulter completely, immobilizing them and putting them out of combat.
