Hawk Moth

**Gabriel Agreste** (born **Gabi Grassette**) is a human male from Universe AC-8, world-renown fashion designer, and Parisian socialite. He serves as an antagonist in *Marvel's Avenger's Odyssey*, and as one of the main antagonists in *Book I: Assemble*. Gabriel is the creator of the fashion brand, *Gabriel*, well known across Paris and all over the world. He is the father of Adrien Agreste and the husband of Émile Agreste. Both interested in the Miraculous Charms, Gabriel and Émile, along with their long-time friend and assistant Nathalie Sancoeur, travelled to Tibet, where they discovered the Grimoire spellbook along with the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous. Wanting to make the world a better place for their son, Gabriel and Émile opted to use the charms. However due to the little knowledge that had, they discovered that the Miraculous of the Peacock was damaged, causing Émile to become sick and fall into a coma after using it to many times. Gabriel covered up Émile's coma by stating she had mysteriously disappeared. He constructed a secret repository under his mansion, where he kept Émile's body in a glass coffin within a crypt. For the next nine months, Gabriel lived an isolated, reclusive life, becoming emotional abusive to his son Adrien as he and Nathalie continuously studied the Grimoire. Coming to the conclusion that the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous could bring his wife back, Gabriel donned the Butterfly Miraculous as his own, becoming the supervillain **Hawk Moth**.

As Hawk Moth, he started his campaign of akumatizing innocent people of Paris into supervillains with the hope that one of them would steal the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous from the new heroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir. He was almost successful in taking Paris during Heroes Day as the enhanced **Scarlet Moth**, but was foiled by the French Miraculous Team. Gabriel was later joined by Nathalie, who began using the damaged Peacock Miraculous to become Mayura. Around this time, he also unknowingly joined Hydra, under the assumption it was think-tank. As Gabriel, he remained somewhat reclusive, but slowly returned to the public eye, such as teaming up with Tomoe Tsurugi to create the Alliance Rings in order to snuff out the members of the French Miraculous Team. He also reluctantly allowed Adrien to attend Collège Françoise Dupont. Gabriel also began searching out potential targets for an akuma, most of which were victims of Chloé Bourgeois. He later employed Lila Rossi, a student at Françoise Dupont who bore a deep hatred for Ladybug and all heroes, to keep an eye on Adrien. Gabriel also became interested in Marinette Dupain-Cheng, whom Rossi bore a deep hatred for and claimed was a "bad influence" on Adrien, leading to Gabriel considering having Marinette be akumatized.

One month after his failed Heroes Day attack, Gabriel came into conflict with the Avengers who wee attempting to protect Marinette Dupain-Cheng from the Force entity Abeloth. This led to Gabriel forming an alliance with her via Mark Temple in order to deal the heroes, in exchange for Émile's recovery and Adrien's safety.

## Personality

### As Gabriel

Gabriel comes off as a cold, harsh, and very strict man. He is very protective of his son Adrien, having kept him home for most of his life, although having a possessive and distant relationship with him. He makes executive decisions about how to keep his son safe without considering how he may feel. Jaune Arc claims that he is quite similar to Jacques Schnee, but with an actual heart. Gabriel misses his wife greatly and sometimes has to be reminded that his son is also grieving as well, making him oblivious to the feelings of others. According to Adrien, Nathalie Sancoeur, and both Andre and Audrey Bourgeois, ever since the “disappearance” of his wife, he is a changed man. One that strongly dislikes taking orders from anyone, even if they are from people who are trying to help and protect him, such as Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Despite this, Gabriel can be respectful and kind at times, especially when needing to act professionally. In his public life, Gabriel maintains a calm and professional attitude, often when giving speeches or unveiling new products for his company. He also works with others, such as working with Tsurugi Technologies to create the Alliance Rings, despite their true intentions being unknow to the latter. Gabriel also shows respect to fellow fashion designers such as Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and admits her talent. Gabriel is also one not to show any fear, unwillinging to run from any situation even an akuma attack.

### As Hawk Moth

In his supervillain identities, Gabriel is cold and determined. After a villain's defeat, he determinedly vows revenge and, while stopping for some time, but doesn't wait too long to try again with his akumas. Gabriel's end goal is to claim the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses in order to use their powers to bring his wife Émile back. He does not care if he causes people to harm in the process, even to his own son. Gabriel is aware of the equivalent exchange drawback of making a wish with the Miraculouses, every wish having a reaction to maintain balance in the universe, but it doesn't appear to bother him, as he believe it will work out in the end.

He is also very stubborn as he refuses to listen to his kwami Nooroo about how the Butterfly Miraculous should be used, showing no remorse about all the damage and chaos he caused in Paris and is also very desperate to save his wife. At this point, he is completely obsessed with Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculouses, and saving his wife is just a justification for his obsession.

Gabriel lacks most of the knowledge and understanding of the Miraculous Charms. Despite having access to the Grimoire, he has yet to translate or acess his full potential. He does appreciate those who work with him and encourage him, such as Nathalie Sancoeur. Yet despite his villainous persona, Gabriel is willing to put it all aside to save thse close to him, especial Adrien and Nathalie. The latter most recently due to her succumbing to use of the Peacock Miraculous, which put his wife in a coma, showing how much Gabriel values Nathalie's help, even if it harms her.
