.:Personality:. Gabriel is not a violent individual. He does not believe in killing, despite his own actions where emotions and determination -- border lining obsession -- got the better of him. Being an unwilling participant of the repeated cycle of resurrection, Gabriel carries the guilt of those who died so that he may live . . . that guilt extending beyond those who not only died for him, but for the other Primes as well. He is a determined person and will often not stop until he meets his goal (i.e. finding a way to bring Josephine back, studying the anomaly, etc). Prior to the darker turns in his life, Gabriel was a fairly positive, friendly person who was passionate about 2 things: his work, and the woman he loved. He knows now the cost of these passions, as they came at the expense of so many human lives.
.:Special Skills:. As a scientist, specifically a geneticist, Gabriel has strong knowledge about his field and displays a high intelligence (i.e. successfully using the embryos to bring back the otherwise deceased, creating antitoxins, etc). This knowledge also extends to the anomaly as well as the environment of Sanctum which he is able to use to his advantage. He has learned to become a skilled tracker, having evaded the Primes and their guards for so long. Furthermore, being trained by Orlando, he holds the skills of a level 12 warrior.

.:Birthplace:. Earth
.:Family:. Unknown
.:Occupation:. Scientist [Geneticist] | Leader of The Children of Gabriel
.:History:. Gabriel was born on Earth, and was the only one who joined Eligius Corporation to embark on Eligius III, without any family. He became close with the Lightbournes -- particularly Josephine -- and it was not long until the two began a romantic relationship. Gabriel did his best to not let it interfere with his work but eventually, the two would overlap in the most tragic of way. Under the influence of the Red Sun toxins, Russell killed his family, including Josephine. Gabriel managed to stay out of sight during his rampage but once Russell regained his senses, both felt the devastation. Gabriel worked closely with Russell to find a way to bring her back, using the embryos they brought and after over 20 years, they were successful. This created a cycle of immortality -- for lack of a better term -- as they now discovered a way to live forever by placing their subconscious into the minds of another. It came at a cost of many failed experiments, and the death of even children, but eventually, they were successful.

It was not long after Josephine's return that Gabriel was dying of cancer. Though he came to terms with this, she could not and he was brought back into a new body. This went against his wishes, but was something that would occur repeatedly among who were now the Primes, or founding families of Sanctum. Eventually, Gabriel could not longer stand for it. He destroyed the embryos and tried to stop them from resurrecting themselves as well as other families. He was charged and meant to burn however, a friend of his aided in his escape and he fled. It was here that he formed The Children of Gabriel in attempt to overthrow the Primes or what they now referred to as False Gods.

Gabriel aged with the body he was placed in and taught only one person, Eduardo (who was left at the Offering Grove when he was a baby), how to upload the mind drives. He had Eduardo swear to him that he would never use it on him and despite the promise, he was betrayed. When Gabriel succumbed to the natural death of old age, Eduardo used Xavier -- a young boy who had become like a son to Gabriel -- to bring back Gabriel. In a fit of rage and anger, Gabriel killed Eduardo both for his betrayal, and for killing Xavier. It was then that he decided to let Gabriel die with his previous host. He let the others believe that Gabriel had abandoned him or was dead, and posed as Xavier for what would be the next several years. That is, until a new group of people came to Sanctum who would change everything.
