## Physical Description

### In the Beginning...

Gabriel is the sixth and youngest surviving archangel of the original seven archangels created by the Presence. Gabriel was born on the "sixth day" when the Presence supposedly created Adam and Eve. Gabriel helped in this endeavor, becoming the archangel over humanity, art, and language. Perhaps by design, Gabriel was known for being very compassionate, both towards his family and humanity in general. When Lucifer rebelled, Gabriel refused to take arms against his brother, calling for a diplomatic solution to be found. Likewise, he did not cast a vote for Lucifer's exile.

### Gabriel: Prehistory - 4000 BCE

When the Presence's first human followers, Adam and Eve, were cast out of the Garden of Eden and thus became mortal, Gabriel volunteered to show them what they'd need to know to survive the wilderness and enter civilization. After a decade on Earth, Gabriel returned to the Silver City and there was summoned to the Silver Throne where the Presence appointed him to the position of Metatron — the Voice of God.

### Gabriel: 4000 BCE - 1987 CE

Gabriel did a lot of other stuff as the Metatron. A lot of it was just visiting with prophets, teaching them about the Presence, or acting as their guide through the part of the Dreaming known as the Garden of Forking Ways as they were given visions of their purpose. When he wasn't summoned by his creator, Gabriel usually chose to remain on Earth, exploring its many cultures and its cuisine. Gabriel could not get enough of food.

After being tasked with giving a child to a Galilean woman destined to give birth to a "Planetary Shaman", Gabriel was called back to the Silver City and kept busy in other parts of the cosmos for thirty years. When he was sent back to Earth with a message to deliver, Gabriel was quite angry with what he was being asked to do, but he did it... and then didn't return to the Silver City, for nearly two-thousand years, remaining on Earth until the Presence sent Amenadiel to strike a deal with Lucifer.

Lucifer Morningstar convinced Gabriel to return to the Silver City despite the other envoys from Heaven having previously failed. Gabriel's return to the position of Metatron angered some of his siblings who felt as though they were better deserving of the title due to their loyalty.

### Gabriel Demiurgos: 1987 - Present

Not feeling welcome in Heaven due to his siblings' jealousy, Gabriel still spent much of his time on Earth. To keep Gabriel busy, the Presence had him take on a very young Ariel as an apprentice. While Gabriel did enjoy teaching this eager new angel, he still kept sneaking off to Earth.

After just five years with his apprentice, Gabriel told the Presence to make her the new Metatron as he was taking a break. What he's up to is anyone's guess. He shows up on occasion to the Oblivion Bar where he and Lucifer engage in entertaining debates or perform songs together.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) There is a theory of Lucifer's which claims that the Presence knew that the archangels would not be truly alive if they were made too perfect, so each archangel has a distinct flaw built into them. While Lucifer claims his is pride, he says that Gabriel's is obviously gluttony. While most angels call this heresy, Gabriel fully admits he's a glutton.
* (*Submitted by Oracle*) Long ago, Gabriel was sent to the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The prophet had called for all there to be smitten. Gabriel refused to engage in such a massacre. But Gabriel's brother Raguel had no such objections and fulfilled the prophecy. Later Raguel engaged in genocide again, this time killing every first-born son of Egypt in one night. So disturbed by this, Gabriel persuaded Raguel to accompany him to Hell so they might kill Lucifer for his past sins. However, when they arrived in the Tower of Dis, they found Lucifer waiting in full armor and armed with Gabriel's own flaming sword. Lucifer struck Raguel dead and Gabriel collected the grace, later presenting it to his creator as he asked for mercy.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### General

* According to Eden he inherited her trickster streak.
* He was one of first to realize that Saraquael's propaganda about souls was wrong, but kept the lie, because it allowed to control the Host of Heaven.
* Jophiel became his lover during a mission to observe early sentient life. After the mission Jophiel was transeferred to his personal estate. She spent billions of years as Gabriel's assisstant, but had had a falling out when the Rebellion started as she chose to fight. After he left Heaven he would entertain her visits with some regularity, but their friendship suffered. Jophiel grew closer to Saraquael during the dark ages, mostly on account of taking on the challenge of becoming a mentor to Saraquael's daughter.
* With the Presence's permission, Gabriel concocted a plan to help his Father win back his Mother, using the Theater Cosmic. Penemue was going to help Gabriel accomplish this task by creating an endless stream of stories. The Presence and Gabriel hoped these stories could help keep Eden near Heaven as she was always seeking out new experiences. But while Eden was amused by the accomplishment, she still moved on. The production was kept running though, in case Eden changed her mind and came back, but one by one, Penemue's crew were reassigned until only she remained in an empty theater with nothing but empty thoughtforms to keep her company as centuries went by. When Gabriel lost interest in his own Heavenly duties, he began to pay more attention to the Theater. Penemue became one of the few angels he could tolerate in his presence and the two often "binged" the Theater Cosmic's endless stream of sagas. For a while, they became lovers, but when Gabriel returned to his duties, he suggested they remain professional. Penemue showed her own acting skill when she told him she completely agreed.
* Sachiel acted as his right hand for several thousand years. After Gabriel left Heaven, Sachiel was sent on special missions for the Presence involving pairing two important persons together so their specific esoteric traits would permit the birth of a child with traits required for Heaven's plans. These special missions were often just attempts to coax Gabriel back to Heaven after his self-imposed exile. They all failed, but Sachiel's reports endeared him to the Presence.
* He's Wally the God-Boy's father. Gabriel was sent to Earth to create a nephilic vessel and mated with Rosacarnis as part of Nergal's plan to steal their offspring's power. When they realized what happened they talked and decided to rebel against Heaven and Hell, and raise the child so it could choose its own path. The child was taken by Raphael and swapped with another child which recently died.
* He goes to therapy with Linda Martin. He also had sex with her.
* He likes various types of women, but he especially likes the ones who are casual and chill.

#### Era of Enlightenment

* Spending with his Mother in the Theater Cosmic and in other subsidiary realities where small scale worlds were already built. Gabriel became fascinated by the concept of stories, personal growth, triumph versus evil, love, art, and the rest of what he felt made life worth living.
* Gabriel worked with Saraquael to bring his vision to life, beginning their efforts on Genesis where the Genesisians were born - becoming the first sentient life in the universe.

#### Bres

* In the ancient times, as Heaven began to invest in Earth's worship, the archangels were tasked to form alliances with the existing pantheons of Earth. Gabriel postponed this particular diplomatic duty as his work as Metatron kept him busy and when he had a break from those duties, he liked to spend his time on earth among mortals, not the courts of the Gods. However, due to pressuring from his siblings and peers, he always had this particular neglecting in the back of his mind.
* He sent Castiel to investigate the rumors of fallen angels on Earth. After some time the angel returned and Gabriel was surprised to see Castiel had kept her form. Castiel was big proponent of regular rites of rebirth, ever since the Morningstar Rebellion, so her not changing her form upon return to the Silver City did alert Gabriel that something was amiss. Even more curious was Castiel's request for leave coming soon after. Gabriel granted the leave and then went to Earth himself to investigate, tracking Castiel to the land of Eire but becoming distracted by a nearby festival.
* Hoping to hide from his siblings, Gabriel went to Eire to spend time among Fomóiri - angelic refugees that settled on the island and posed as gods to escape having to choose sides in Semael's revolt. While taking in the fun of a spring feast he met a daimoness who struck his fancy. Gabriel seduced this goddess, whose name was Brig, and actually fell in love with her. Desperate to appease her family and allow their marriage, Gabriel (pretending to be a daimon known as Bres) swore his aid to Brig's pantheon, the Tuatha Dé Danann, who had only recently established themselves on the island. Knowing little of mortal affairs, the Tuatha Dé Danann were too eager to make this "Bres" their king and expected him to not only define their cult but also to navigate the hostile diplomatic relationships with the remnants of the pantheons which rule the island before the Tuatha Dé Danann, which included the Fomóiri.
* Gabriel did his best, but he would be the first to tell you he was not born to lead. He also would disappear without warning to fulfil his duties as the Metatron for his Father. The Tuatha Dé Danann began to grow suspicious of Gabriel, particularly the weaponsmith Goibniu who saw Gabriel returning from one of his travels and saw the wings and noting the similarity to those of the Fomóiri. When Ruadan, the first child of Gabriel and Brig, learned that Goibniu was forging a spear to kill Gabriel, Ruadan tried to use the spear to assassinate Goibniu to protect his father. Ruadan was a sneaky lad who managed to wound Goibniu but he was no warrior. Unfortunately for Ruadan, Goibniu was quite skilled in using weapons, especially those of his own design. Ruadan was killed, revealing his own wings in death. Gabriel was welcoming his newborn daughter "Imogen" during the same annual feast that he had met her mother eight years earlier. As Brig was recovering from the birth, Gabriel was holding his daughter when the Tuatha Dé Danann broke into the house and accused Gabriel of being a Fomóiri spy, even confronting him with his son's winged corpse. As Brig woke up to this commotion, Gabriel only had time to look at his wife briefly and say "I'm sorry", before he revealed his wings and fled as Goibniu threw his spear, taking newborn Imogen with him. It is said that Brig's screams of sorrow became the first keening and that song gave birth to the first of the banshee.
* As Bres he brokered a pact with a demon to create a lavish festival once a year in honor of the demon, promising the demon the lion's share of the psychic energy generated from the event and in exchange the demon would cease taking children and would respect the homes of the humans on the island.

#### Historical Events

* The order to kill every first born son in Egypt came from archangel Michael.
* He exposed Zuul and Vinz Clortho as false gods. After that they pledged their service to Gozer in an attempt to conquer Heaven.

#### Raguel

* Raguel and angel Zauriel were among those sent to Earth to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Gabriel protested with such passion that Zauriel had pause until Raguel asserted that Zauriel fulfill the orders given to them. Zauriel was also present when Lucifer killed Raguel. As Lucifer killed Raguel, Zauriel was held back by Gabriel. Though Lucifer wanted to kill Zauriel as well, Gabriel was able to convince Zauriel of the need to kill Raguel, reasoning that Raguel had made Zauriel to partake in the massacre even though Zauriel knew it was the wrong thing to do.
* Years later Raguel's child Lladiz came to Heaven. He kept his distance from them. Some time later he and the Presence explained the circumstances of their father's death. Lladiz tried to commit suicide in the Darkness, but Gabriel managed to bring her back to Heaven. Though Gabriel had claimed Raguel had lost his mind, Lladiz had never seen any such indication of that in their father and refused to believe it. Lladiz grew paranoid and unstable, and during one meeting they accused Gabriel of murdering their father out of jealousy. Then they told the meeting they will allpay for it.

#### Yeshua

* He was sent to Earth, endowed with supernal power, for a divine purpose. In Nazareth, Gabriel found a young woman named Mariam, of a miraculous birth and set apart as a Judges. Though aware of her nature and devoted to Heaven, Mariam was unaware of her divine purpose. The archangel met with Mariam and instructed her that she was destined to give birth to the next Planetary Shaman. Gabriel informed her that for this purpose, he had traveled to Earth to impart upon her the supernal endowment that would make their son a Planetary Shaman that could end both the Roman Empire and the worship of the Olympians.
* Mariam agreed to embrace her destiny (by embracing Gabriel) and a child was conceived, with the supernal endowment passing from Gabriel and into Mariam. Having been ordained a judge prior to the conception, Mariam's body was quite capable of handling the immense volume of divine power bestowed upon her, much more than any mortal woman had been given before — almost the equivalent of four centuries' worth of worship from Heaven's vault. Though Mariam was able to hold this power, Gabriel stayed on Earth to watch over her by assuming the identity of a local carpenter betrothed and later married to Mariam.
* Due to the Olympians catching wind of Heaven's plan to secure the next Planetary Shaman, Gabriel and Mariam had to go into hiding and their son, Yeshua, would be born in the stable of an inn in Bethlehem. They would later flee into Egypt and Africa to avoid Olympian attempts to slaughter the child. When things died down, Gabriel and Mariam returned to Nazareth to raise Yeshua. In his youth, Yeshua was taught about his destiny and supernal heritage by Mariam. However, Gabriel chose to conceal his true nature from Yeshua, teaching him carpentry so he would have a trade to support himself until he was called as a prophet or inherited the title of Planetary Shaman.
* Yeshua emulated his mother's devotion and his father's laid-back approach. He spent many nights reflecting on what kind of prophet he would become. Many of the lessons his mother taught him depicted a wrathful and vengeful God, who was almost worshipped out of fear. But his father's example resonated with Yeshua more and he felt that a loving deity offering support and forgiveness was a more honest depiction of God. Going against the teachings offered by the official texts, Yeshua followed his heart when it came to matters of his faith.
* Once Yeshua became the Planetary Shaman, Gabriel revealed his angelic nature to Yeshua and appointed him as a Prophet of God. The Presence went further than this, making Yeshua the Logos Dei — the Word of God, giving him power to reshape the doctrine of worship on Earth.
* He later helped with resurecting him.

#### Exile

* In 2016 the Thrones and the Pax Dei staged a coup and arrested Michael, Raphael and Uriel, they then had Imogen lie to her father telling him that Michael had kidnapped Gabriel's son Wally Johnson in order to lure him to Heaven so he could be arrested as well. Once that was done the Thrones made Wally the new King of Heaven and had him exile the Four Archangels from Heaven.
* To thank the Losers for give giving them supplies after they were exiled from Heaven Gabriel and his siblings helped the Losers with there hunt for Max by showing them a door of destinations and sending them to Brijol which was Max's last known location.

### Notes

* He's a composite character with Tali, angelic lover of succubus Chantinelle, as well as the version of the character featured in the *Supernatural* TV Series. He also takes the place of St. Joseph, living as a humble carpenter and raising his son Josh Carpenter / Jesus of Nazareth.
* Trickster is a name he's called in the *Supernatural* TV series.
* Dean and Jo's encounter with Gabriel might be a nod to episode "Changing Channel", where Sam and Dean are put in TV Shows.
* His appearance is based on the actor Richard Speight Jr., who portrays him in the show.
* The planetary shaman Gabriel sired was Jesus.
	+ The Planetary Shaman is a nod to the *Wildstorm* universe and Jesus was among the shamans.
* In the comics Archangel Michael is the only archangel with the title of Demiurgos. Now more archangels have this title.
