The Fallen Star

**The Fallen Star**, also known as **Gavriel**, is one of the greater Fates and an immortal.

## Appearance

He has a broad figure, with olive skin that glows and thick brown hair which has strands of gold that match his eyes. His whole body is massive. His symbol is a pair of shimmering dark blue wings. Little flames spark around him.

## Personality

The Fallen Star has a possessive, power-hungry, and abusive personality and wishes to conquer as much as he can. He is abusive to the Fates. The Lady Prisoner states that he takes pleasure in passing out punishments. Gavriel's presence is commanding and powerful.

## Plot

The Fallen Star created the Fates, with the help of the witch Esmeralda, and they were all linked to him. If he was killed then the Fates he created would change from immortal to ageless, they'll still have their powers, but if they die they won't be able to return.

Before Scarlett was born, Paloma, also known as Paradise the Lost, was tasked by the Church of the Fallen Star to steal a cursed Deck of Destiny from Empress Elantine. Paloma succeeded, but saw the worth in the Deck of Destiny she'd found. She kept all of the cards, except for the card in which Gavriel was trapped in. She gave the Church of the Fallen Star Gavriel's card only, before disappearing with the rest of the cards trapping the other Fates. The Church freed Gavriel by sacrificing another human to take his place in the card. Gavriel sought after Paloma, wanting to free his fellow Fates. The deck Paloma had stolen was taken by her ex-lover, and Gavriel found her tied to a bed. He allied with her to find the Deck she had lost. He ended up falling in love with her.

Paloma betrayed Gavriel once she found out that he was actually the Fallen Star, trapping him back inside of his card and running away with the Deck of Destiny. She changed her identity to Paloma Dragna, after marrying Marcello Dragna.

### Legendary

All the Fates are released from the Deck of Destiny, including Gavriel. They are all in a state of sleep.

### Finale

Upon waking, Paloma meets with Gavriel while Tella watches from a hiding place. Paloma embraces Gavriel and kisses him deeply. He tells her that his memories of her do not do her justice, and he thought of her every day because he would imagine all the ways he would get his revenge against her. Paloma tries to convince Gavriel that she made a mistake. She had only trapped him back inside the Deck of Destiny because she'd been warned that he would kill her to keep himself from falling in love with her, which would make him human enough to be killed. She apologizes and asks if he still wants revenge or if he wants to be with her as she wants to be with him. Gavriel says that perhaps revenge can wait and they kiss again. Tella watches as her mother pulls out a knife and stabs it into Gavriel's heart. Unfortunately this doesn't kill him, and with a roar Gavriel pulls the knife from his chest and stabs Paloma in her chest. Gavriel then appears to fall to the ground and die.

Gavriel kidnaps Scarlett. He reveals that he is her father, and that she has powers. Scarlett, much to her surprise, admits that she has always seen emotions, but has started to see other people's emotions. Gavriel is pleased, and holds Scarlett hostage. He plans to take over the Meridian Empire, and have Scarlett as his heir. He works with Scarlett, trying to get her to access her full powers and become a Fate. This involves controlling emotions, not just seeing them.

Scarlett refuses to control emotions when Gavriel forces her to try and turn Julian's love for her into hatred. Gavriel is furious, but Scarlett makes a bargain that forces Gavriel to keep Julian alive. Abiding her wishes, Gavriel keeps Julian alive, but tortures him instead. Scarlett finds out and tries to save Julian, getting burnt in the process. Legend saves Scarlett and Julian, but gets left behind and held hostage by Gavriel.

Scarlett, Julian, and Tella work to save Legend and eventually defeat Gavriel. Gavriel becomes human again when he feels love and regret for killing Paloma, and Tella kills him.

## Powers

The Fallen Star controls fire and is shown to have power over the other Fates because he created them. This is why the Fates cannot attempt to kill him, because doing so would kill them as well.

## Relationships

### Esmeralda

Esmeralda used to be the Fallen Star's consort, she also helped him create the Fates, but then she betrayed him and locked him and his Fates in the Deck of Destiny and took half of their powers.

### Paloma Dragna

Paloma Dragna was the mother of Scarlett and Tella but Scarlett was the child of the Fallen Star. The Fallen Star was in love with her and briefly became human because of her.

### Scarlett Dragna

Scarlett Dragna was the daughter of Gavriel and Paloma. Gavriel was shown to be fond of Scarlett, likely for her resemblance to her mother. Gavriel was strict with Scarlett, imprisoning her head in a cage of rubies much like The Maiden Death's cage of pearls. He did this when Scarlett failed to access her powers. Gavriel was obsessed with Scarlett accessing her full powers, and making her a Fate. He did this because he saw love as weakness, and if Scarlett was a Fate, she wouldn't be able to feel love.
