Gadreel

(Art by Peter Mohrbacher)

> Don't be mistaken boi. Azazel may be the one who taught humans the art of weaponry, but Gadreel, was the one who taught them how to use it in combat, one against another, releasing murder and death and war upon the world.

**Gadreel** is one of the chief fallen angel cadres of the Grigori. He was originally the first angel to guard Eden from any unwelcome guests before Uriel.

## Biography

### Original Guardian

Gadreel was the angel, a Power, that originally guarded the Garden of Eden before Uriel from hostile forces, until Lucifer managed to trick Gadreel into letting Samael (or either Nachash or Lilith) in.

Gadreel was stationed by the Northern gate and was unaware of Lucifer, Samael, Lilith, or Tanin'iver's presence. Lucifer conjured several stars, threw them across Gadreel's line of view and commanded them to dash around him like hyperactive fireflies, briefly disorienting the angel. Following this, Lilith commanded her steed, Tanin'iver, to lunge towards Gadreel and subdue the angel by the throat, preventing him from alerting the other angelic gate guardians. This gave Samael and Lilith the opportunity to sneak into the Garden of Eden undetected by Gadreel and the rest of the angels. Tanin'iver, however, was wounded by Gadreel during the scuffle who drove the beast away.

Gadreel's brief defeat by Tanin'iver causing his silence to alert the other angels earned him the title of the Silent Sentinel. This ruptured the Garden's stability, triggering a series of events that caused the Fall of Man. As punishment for his failure, Gadreel was kicked out from the Garden of Eden with Uriel taking Gadreel's place as the guardian of Eden. Due to his failure for preventing the Adversary from entering the Garden of Eden, and being tricked by the Morning Star, Gadreel was shamed and scolded by God and the other angels.

### Fallen Watcher

Due to his failure for preventing the serpent from entering the Garden of Eden, and being tricked by the Morning Star, Gadreel was shamed and scolded by God and the other angels. In attempt to rectify his mistakes, even though he himself knew it would be impossible to be redeemed for such failure, Gadreel pleaded with God to bestow upon him a new position as recompense for his previously failed duty. God accepted and moved Gadreel to the Watchers, tasked with observing and guiding mankind alongside 200 other Watcher angels.

Unfortunately, Gadreel failed that as well as he was among the Watchers that joined the others in descending unto Earth to teach men forbidden knowledge and fornicate with their daughters. Gadreel had no choice in the matter either as the Watchers all took an oath that bound them together, meaning that if one of them commits a sin then they will all be a part of it. However, he was one of the fallen to start the entire teaching mankind forbidden knowledge and forficate with them as he was a member of the Five Satans.

Nevertheless, because of Gadreel's actions alongside the other Watchers, he was banished from Heaven and bound under the Euphrates River for eternity until it dries up and God releases him and the three other Fallen Angels with an army of 200 million soldiers possessed by demons to kill 1/3 of mankind.

## Characteristics

Like all cadres, Gadreel possesses twelve black wings, with the wingspan of approximately 7-feet.

Gadreel's human form appears as an adolescent youth with "ageless beauty" akin to that of marble Greek statues. He has short bright-blond hair, with strands of gold mixed in. His eyes constantly changing their color by mainly stays either blue or red.

He wears a black collared shirt with cuffs and black trim, buttoned over his neck, and hold in place by a silver rune. Over the black shirt, he wears a grey military jacket with black trim and decorated button. He has a thick belt encircling his waist, and he wears two smaller belts over his posterior and front. He wears black pants with black boots, with their soles, toe, and heels being white. He also wears gray silk gloves.

## Personality

Gadreel possesses indomitable willpower, absolute loyalty to Satanael and refusal to give up even under seemingly insurmountable odds (most notably when he faced a fully powered Lucifer).

Due to Lucifer's actions causing Gadreel to lose his duty as guardian of the Garden of Eden, Gadreel loathes the Morning Star and everything he represents.
