Gabriel Angelos - The Aurelian Crusades: Gabriel played a reduced role in the First Aurelian Crusade, as the primary commander during that conflict was the Blood Ravens Force Commander Aramus. Gabriel appeared in the latter half of the Crusade to advise and instruct the player after Captain Davian Thule was incapacitated and interred in a Blood Ravens Dreadnought. He finally appears in person in the last mission of the campaign, still carrying the Daemonhammer Godsplitter he received on Tartarus from Inquisitor Toth.During the invasion of the Aurelian Sub-sector by a splinter fleet of the Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan, Captain Angelos was onboard the Blood Ravens' Battle Barge Litany of Fury in the Vorga System, completing a great victory over the forces of the Tau. Diverting the Battle Barge to Sub-sector Aurelia, Angelos advised his friend Captain Davian Thule on how to fight those xenos. Unfortunately, as the Litany of Fury was nearing the sub-sector, the Tyranid Hive Mind reached out and threw the starship off-course, also killing most of the Navigators and Astropaths on-board with its potent psychic attack. Angelos sent out one final message before the Battle Barge moved out-of-range, thought to be forever trapped in the Warp. However, Angelos' message did provide Force Commander Aramus in the Aurelian Sub-sector a chance to strike a deadly blow to the Tyranid Hive Fleet. Fortunately, the Blood Ravens fleet somehow managed to emerge from the Warp and arrive in orbit of Typhon Primaris just in time to engage the Hive Fleet.The Litany of Fury launched Drop Pods filled with Blood Ravens Astartes to hold off Tyranid forces planetside, while Angelos himself joined a small team in the final strike against the massive beast, a Hive Tyrant, controlling the local Tyranids. The attack proved successful, and the Hive Fleet was splintered, ending the the Tyranid threat to the sub-sector.Following the return of the long-lost world of Aurelia to realspace from the Warp during the Second Aurelian Crusade, Angelos directed and ordered a small strike team to combat the Black Legion led by Araghast the Pillager and the returned Chaos Champion Eliphas the Inheritor of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion. However, Gabriel was condemned by Captain Apollo Diomedes of the Blood Ravens Honour Guard, who was unaware of the Chaos corruption within the Blood Ravens and their current Chapter Master, Azariah Kyras, which had been brought upon the Chapter by the Greater Daemon of Nurgle, Ulkair. After the Blood Ravens repulsed the assault by Araghast and his Legion, Angelos once again personally led the assault against the Black Legion on Aurelia, and urged his strike team to eliminate Eliphas and the Greater Daemon Ulkair. He is seen at the front of the assault on Aurelia.After the defeat of Ulkair during the Second Aurelian Crusade, the corrupted Blood Ravens Chapter Master and Chief Librarian, Azariah Kyras, declared Gabriel a Traitor and initiated a vicious hunt for the Captain of the 3rd Company and his forces. A bloody Chapter civil war ensued, one that engulfed the entire Aurelian Sub-sector at its peak during the Third Aurelian Crusade. Kyras eventually openly declared his loyalty to Chaos and ascended to become a Daemon Prince. However, Kyras' ascension was far from complete, allowing a strike team of Blood Ravens to destroy the towers of offering and, thus, weaken Kyras enough to harm him.After a long and difficult battle the daemon was slain upon the Dead World of Cyrene and its plan was thwarted, but at a great cost to Loyalist forces. Most of Gabriel's forces were slain during the battle and Gabriel himself was viciously struck down by Kyras. After the battle to defeat Kyras was over, Captain Apollo Diomedes retrieved Gabriel's body, only to find that he was still alive, and was able to call off the Inquisition's Exterminatus of all the remaining inhabited worlds of the Aurelian Sub-sector.Afterwards, Gabriel's broken body, having suffered the loss of his right eye and both legs in the fight with Kyras as well as prior wounds earned on Tartarus, was repaired with extensive cybernetic augmentation to replace his missing eye and missing legs and he was elevated to become the new Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens. It is unknown who took his place as the Captain of the 3rd Company. For unknown reasons he later made due without the augmetic right eye and had it removed.
