The Fallen

**Gabriel Winchester** was born to King Roman Winchester and Queen Adrianna Winchester on April 6, 2004. Without his twin sister Daisy Winchester in the way, he was able to effortlessly rule by his father's side. He did not know about her sister until he was fifteen and training to be king. The first time he saw Daisy, she was running through the courtyard with Dahlia Alden in an attempt to escape a trial and avoid having to face her father.

Shortly after seeing his sister, Gabriel was crowned King of Elaria officially. He formed The Buried Truth as his first royal decree — An organization that hunts down individuals who posses magical abilities. They found Daisy and captured her, not knowing she had protection from the archers and Theodore Remington. One thing stood in his way above everything else: his father was still in power and controls the Royal Guard and the Royal Treasury.

Gabriel found an enchantress and hired her to possess a guard and execute King Roman. Now that he was out of the way, he had control over everything in the kingdom and used his status to recruit more villagers and people in power to The Buried Truth to execute his goal of having power over the three major kingdoms, Elaria, Wintercrest, and Adwendalind.

### Events of *The Fallen*

Gabriel's rise to power certainly happened in book two. He mind-controlled Theodore Remington in order to get close to his sister, Daisy and result in a cave collapsing on top of her, in hope of easily executing her. Her magic saved her life and she remained an obstacle in the way of Gabriel's success.

### The One Who Will Destroy Us All

After experimenting with the dark force of magic, it physically consumed him and destroyed each cell in his body, resulting in his death. The prophecy came true, just not in the anticipated sense: After the magic consumed him, Gabriel became The One Who Will Destroy Us All, confirming Daisy's magic is indeed the light side of the magical dimension.

## Personality

*"No, it's really not that complicated. He is just a bad person."*

—Daisy Winchester about Gabriel.

Gabriel was first viewed as weak and incompetent, but quickly changed The Buried Truth's opinions after taking part in the execution of his father, King Roman. He climbed the social pyramid once he was crowned King of Elaria and was in power. Through his reign, he still had one problem: His twin sister, Daisy, named "The One Who Will Destroy Us All'' and he intended for her to do so one way or another. He soon discovered she could not fully control her powers while under emotional stress and used it against her.

Gabriel captured Daisy and planned to use her as a weapon in exchange for her friends lives'. Gabriel is known for being a power-hungry, sadistic young man and reveled attacking kingdoms with The Buried Truth at his side.

## Abilities:

* **Expert Combatant:** Winchester spent his life training in vast subjects, including swordsmanship, ruling as King, and hand-to-hand combat. On multiple occasions, Gabriel took it too far when he was inflicting pain. When Daisy was injured and unable to fight, he persisted and kicked her in the ribs and face countless times unnecessarily. He is often seen wielding a sword or using his preferred method of self-defense, hand-to-hand combat.
* **Ruthless Ruler:** On numerous accounts, Winchester showed no mercy whether it was tormenting the common thief or inflicting pain on his sister, Daisy and her followers. The Buried Truth took interest in him instantaneously.
