Gabriel

A centuries old weapon smith of the Watch that has fallen into insanity.

**Gabriel**, formally recognized as **Gabriel The Luminous**, is a captain of the Revenants of the Blackwatch, heading the Order of the Radiant Veil, and is the oldest living Blackwatch Captain to date. It is often rumored that Gabriel is the same type of human as The High Lord of the Watch, but this has not been confirmed as the High Lord has almost never been seen by anyone other than those in the higher echelons of the Watch's hierarchy. He is currently on lock down within the outback in New South Wales, Australia as a result of recently losing mental stability.

## Appearance

Gabriel alone stands at an impressive 7'7", with a hulking massive figure to match. His body (save for his head, on rare occasions) is generally always concealed by an antique set of Knight's armor draped in several transparent veils, with one encompassing his helmet. The few times his face has been seen, he has been described as being bald with light brown skin and golden eyes and a sharp facial structure.

## Personality

The Arms Master has been described by his own troops as being a surprisingly lazy, yet efficient, man with a cool and laid back personality. This is, of course, in stark contrast to Gabriel's monstrously powerful ability. He takes great pride in the work he has put into arming the Watch over the years, and is happy to be known as one of the greatest weapons of the Watch's arsenal.

With that said, it is clear that Gabriel is a strict follower of the ideologies behind the Black Watch and it's preservation of the truth and the protection of humanity.

## Background

Much like the High Lord, little is known about the Arms Master. What *has* been discovered is that Gabriel has had a part to play in Earth's history since the catastrophe at Mont'namor in modern day Turkey (*several historical excerpts dictate the presence of a colossal man able to use abilities matching Gabriel's*) to the first documented invasions of Grimm at Newquay.

This discovery has led many to believe that there is some correlation between Gabriel and the current High Lord of the third chapter, as both are beings of an unknown age who both share bloody pasts.

## Powers and Abilities

Gabriel is essentially a living weapon of the Watch, capable at both extremely distant ranges and in close quarters combat.

***Truly Luminous*** - Gabriel has the ability to create, control, and transform light and heat with virtually little effort. There is quite the array of utilizations for this ability, but the most common usage is found in the creation of explosive laser beams from any point on his body, briefly foregoing his physical form and turning into light as he travels from one location to another (essentially light speed travel), and using explosive attacks against their own users.

## Current Status - The Radiant Veil Crisis

A catastrophic loss of mental stability has caused Gabriel to go berserk, attacking anyone in his vicinity should they provoke him. The reasons for this sudden loss of mental integrity is unknown, although it is presumed to be the work of an unidentified opposing force. The Order of the Radiant Veil is conducting investigations and security measures with support from both the Sons of Mars and the Morning Star Colossi, along with attempts to terminate Gabriel. All attempts has failed, and both the Sons of Mars and the Morning Star Colossi has suffered disastrous casualties as a result.
