True Archangel

*"I didn't leave because Heaven was no longer fun; I left because everything was falling apart. My siblings were not as close as before, my father left, and honestly, everything just felt empty. So I turned my attention to Earth and decided to help the deities oversee it in a better way. Better do something productive that I like, even if it meant leaving Heaven then stay there and feel just how much it changed."*
―Gabriel on why she left
**Gabriel** is the True Archangel of Faith, Kindness, Creation, Destruction, Temperance, Revelations and Messengers, Anu's greatest messenger, and the incarnation of the Strength of Anu. She is the Left Hand of Anu, the triplet sister of Raphael and Uriel, and a member of the Four Great Archangels and the Seven Archangels.

Gabriel is not only known as the True Archangel closest to humanity but also the representative of Heaven among the deities, having spent thousands of years advising them on how to oversee Earth.

## Early History

### Childhood

Gabriel was formed from the Crystal Arch a second before Raphael and Uriel. She and her triplet siblings were raised by Michael and Lucifer, who they developed close relationships with. As time passed, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael became very close siblings. They also proved to be a formidable team: Gabriel would fight with her sword, Raphael would use his staff, and Uriel would lend them her assistance with her bow and arrows.

Soon, many other True Archangels were formed from the Crystal Arch. Gabriel helped her triplet siblings and older brothers raise their younger siblings and she developed close bonds with all of them, especially Jophiel and Sariel. And for a time, it was just the 25 of them living in harmony.

### The Heavenly Host

When the rest of the angels were created, Gabriel was ordered to train the Archangels. She taught them everything about being messengers and warriors of Anu. She became well respected among the Archangels and was both a maternal figure and a role model towards them. She also formed the Heavenly Host along with her fellow True Archangels.

### The Eternal Conflict

During the Eternal Conflict, Gabriel lead the Archangels against the Archdemons and their armies. She personally went against Duriel, fighting him in a terrible battle that ended with Duriel's defeat and imprisonment in the Black Soulstone, which was crafted with materials from the Black Abyss.

### The Dark War

During the Dark War, Gabriel was horrified upon discovering the existence of the Outer Gods, creatures who have gathered a massive army to use to launch an attack against the True Archangels and Heaven. She lead many of her siblings into battle against the Outer Gods, believing that they were a scourge that needed to be eradicated.

Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel worked together against Shub Niggurath and her children, but they barely survived and many of their siblings perished during the conflict. The triplets also noticed that Lucifer has developed a colder and less gentle personality.

### War in Heaven

As time passed, Gabriel became worried about Lucifer as he started to lash out at everyone around him, even his closest siblings. At the same time, Michael and Samael started arguing more frequently while many of the other True Archangels started to become distant. With no one else to go to, Gabriel spoke her concerns to Raphael and Uriel, but they assured her that everyone was recovering from the long and terrible war against the Outer Gods and that everything will go back to normal soon.

Tensions escalated with the creation of humanity, which Anu tasked the True Archangels to look after. Although Gabriel found them beautiful and amusing, Lucifer saw them as abominations while Samael saw them as mere instruments for his fun. After the Fall of Mankind, Lucifer declared that humanity is unworthy of angelic assistance and revealed his plan to rebel against Anu, horrifying Gabriel.

Gabriel desperately tried to make her brother see reason, but she was horrified to discover that not only was Lucifer determined to follow through with his rebellion, but that Amenadiel and Samael had joined his side as the generals of his army. Gabriel begged them to stop, saying that they were starting a civil war that would destroy the peace of Heaven. However, Lucifer, blinded by his pride and twisted by Azathoth's powers, refused to listen. Left with no other options, Gabriel sided with Michael against Lucifer.

By the end of the war, it was Gabriel who delivered the blow that distracted Lucifer long enough for Michael to destroy him physically. Before he died, she saw his expression: betrayal.

### Anu's Messenger

In the aftermath of the War in Heaven, Gabriel's relationships with her siblings became distant and even slightly strained as they became more focused on their duties. She attempted to mend their fractured bonds by reminding them of pre-war times but when she realized she couldn't, she decided to leave Heaven and focus her time on advising the deities on how to oversee Earth.

Despite having left Heaven, Gabriel chosen to be Anu's messenger. Although she initially felt honored, she soon discovered that it was not as fun as she expected. Whenever she would appear before a human, they would scream and run away. Her duties as messenger also took up a lot of her time. Eventually, she decided to have the Archangels deliver most of the messages while she deals with the most important ones. This allowed her to return to the deities and continue advising them.

### Great Flood

When the Nephilim appeared, courtesy of the Watchers and Samael, and started terrorizing humans, Gabriel and the other True Archangels discussed what to do. Several of them wanted to send a great flood but Gabriel was against it. In order to see if humanity was worth living, Michael sent Gabriel on a mission to guide humans down the right path. Unfortunately, Samael corrupted more than Gabriel could free, so she ordered the humans who resisted corruption to build arks and boats. She also killed the Nephilim by making them turn against each other.

When Michael and Samael fought each other, Gabriel fought Lilith and nearly killed her, only to be stopped by Jophiel. She then watched as Michael made Samael and Lilith infertile before binding them to Hell.

### Before the Messiah

On Anu's orders, Gabriel took the human Enoch to Heaven. During a contest between Daniel and the prince of Persia, Gabriel along with Michael came to the former's aid.

During the year 2,067 BCE, she and Raphael infiltrated the towns Sodom and Gomorrah to see if they were full of lust only to find that the people there were even worse than they expected. Raphael took Lot and his family from Sodom while Gabriel destroyed the two towns with her sword.

### Son of Anu

Gabriel appeared before Mary during 7-2 BCE to announce the birth of Jesus. Before that, she materialized before the Priest Zechariah and announced the birth of John the Baptist. However, because Zechariah doubted her words, Gabriel took away his voice and left him mute for some time.

## Personality

Like her younger brother Sariel, Gabriel loves humans deeply and spends the majority of her free time with them. She will not hesitate to defend them if they are threatened. However, she will put them in their place if they disrespect her or act arrogant.

Gabriel is generally calm, optimistic, level-headed, and friendly. She is known to be the most deceptive and cunning of the True Archangels with a sarcastic sense of humor, making her very human. She admires acts of cunning and mischief but does not approve of harmful methods. She is also playful and carefree compared to her siblings, as she constantly reminisced of the fun she had prior to the War in Heaven.

Despite her normally calm and kind nature, Gabriel can be cold and sinister if provoked. She ruthlessly slaughtered the majority of the Nephilim during the Great Flood and would have killed Lilith had Jophiel not stopped her. She also willingly allowed demons to punish sinners, claiming that humans whose hearts are filled with wickedness deserve to experience an eternity of suffering.

In addition, Gabriel holds her father and closest siblings in high regard as she furiously shoved Rosaleen when the latter insulted Michael and shot a furious look at Sargeros when he spoke mockingly of Anu. She is aware of how dysfunctional her family is and attempted to mend their broken links, but when she realized she couldn't, she simply left Heaven though she continued to hope that her family can become whole one day.

## Physical Appearance

Gabriel is a very beautiful young woman of high stature and a slender build, carrying herself with grace and tact. She has shoulder-length blonde hair streaked with brown and hazel eyes. She wears simple but stylish dark clothing. Like her sister Uriel, she tends to put on minimal makeup.
