— Gabriel to Carl Black. |
Gabriel, also known as Jibril, the Will of God, and The Messenger, is the True Archangel of Chastity, Faith, Kindness, Revelations and Messages. His name means "strength of God" and is known to be the Left Hand of God and a fragment of the Holy Spirit, in contrast to Michael, who is the Right Hand of God, Gabriel being one of the angels, purest and most powerful in Paradise.
Overview[]
Gabriel is the Archangel of revelation, motherhood, creation and temperance, among others. Like other archangels and angels, Gabriel was created between day one and day two of creation. The Archangel is God's personal messenger, he is God's intercessor to mankind, always going on missions in Father's name. Caring, loving and obedient, he is the moral opposite of Beelzebub, the Left Hand of Satan. While Gabriel is loving, merciful, honest and wise, Beelzebub is hateful, cruel, deceptive and idiotic.
Among these missions, it is believed that he was the one who destroyed the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, that he was the one who killed the mighty Nephilim in Enoch's time, and he is also believed to be the Angel of Death who killed all the firstborn in Egypt. However, his most notable feat was to appear to Mary and announce a coming Savior of Mankind. Due to his effectiveness in complying with God's orders, Gabriel is nicknamed the "Will of God".
Appearance[]
Like the other angels, Gabriel's true form cannot be seen by humans. They say that its light is so intense that it burns the eyes of those who see it and explodes the eardrums of those who hear its voice. As a True Archangel, Gabriel's appearance shifts to whatever the angel desires or needs at that very moment. However, Gabriel will always have at least 1 to 12 pairs of golden wings on his back though they can also be white wings with blue tips that glow brighter than the dawn. Like demons they can possess human vessels, but only with the person’s consent. Gabriel’s greatest vessel was the one pictured above, a man of deep faith and holiness.
In that vessel, Gabriel was described by the prophet Daniel as having a body of beryl, a face like lightning and his eyes like torches of fire, and his arms and feet shining like burnished bronze; and his voice of words was like the voice of a crowd. It was this vessel that was remembered by so many, for it saw and conquered through the greatest adventures.
In his future vessel in the modern times, Gabriel’s vessel appears as a man in his 20s, with silvery hair and amber yellow eyes. Gabriel usually appears wearing a white t-shirt and a dark sweatshirt over blue pants. On a few occasions, Gabriel appears with a detective's cap on his head, something Gabriel usually wears when investigating the mysterious entities of creation.
Personality[]
Gabriel is considered to be the most "human" of the angels, often being seen spending his time among them. Humans generally consider him easy to be around, as his laid-back and eccentric personality is able to put others at ease. Despite this, he is incredibly cunning and can be serious when the circumstances calls for it. Due to these traits, he is one of the few beings that can calmly withstand and even understand those with endless cynicism, cunning behavior, sarcastic wits, con-artist nature, and even counter-culture beliefs, while remaining friendly and even wisecracking in his approach and making fun of their manipulative nature.
He is very calm, laid back, and level-headed both in his angel and human forms. Gabriel greatly understood honor and noble sacrifice, so much that God had given him was his great wisdom in dealing with things in a peaceful and wise manner. He is highly loyal and loving towards Him and his siblings, even towards his Fallen brethren. So much that he (along with Michael) volunteer to guide and protect Jesus from behind the scenes to His journey and mission on Earth. He is also one of the few angels that greatly admired and respected the human spirit, the ability to dream, and the noble will of humanity, so much that he states to Lucifer that the very beings he despise and sought to corrupt the most are capable of doing impossible and unthinkable things.
It is rare for Gabriel to become serious or grim, for most of the time he appears as a humble, optimistic, calm, and friendly angel. But when provoked and angered enough, he can be frighteningly calm and silent while showing his more sinister, cold, and ruthless side, more frightening than Lucifer himself, for the Devil shivers when a kind man loses his patience. This shows that he can be scary, much like his brother Michael. He shows this, when he coldly and mercilessly slaughtered a group of angels and demons that killed innocent people in their battle against the other, and nearly killed Tinshemet if Amitiel and Jophiel didn't interfere.
Also, despite Gabriel's good natured to protect and love humanity, he still has limits. Such as when he countlessly witnesses the mortals' inherited evil, like witnessing them knee-deep in sin, their cruelty, greed, lust for power, pride over their status, etc. Whenever Gabriel witnesses this kind of behavior from humanity, Gabriel becomes grim, sadistically sarcastic, and indifferent to them. This is when he lets the Demons punish the guilty, wicked, and sinners while looking at them with a cold and emotionless expression, and claim that humans with no remorse who embrace their inner wickedness deserves to be punished and sent to eternal suffering and torment, none other than Hell. He claims that it is for the greater good of those who are innocent and righteous in soul and nature.

History[]
Creation & Early life[]
Gabriel was created by God during or even before the creation of the Universe, created from the light and glory of the Creator. When he was still young, Gabriel was drafted with Michael, Raphael, and Uriel to fight against Lucifer's forces in the War in Heaven. Over the course of the war, Gabriel fought Belial with the eventual assistance of Raphael before teleporting him and Raphael to the throne room in order to help Michael in his fight against Satan.
Great Flood[]
During the time the sons of God bore children with the daughters of men, giving rise to the mighty Nephilim, Gabriel and his siblings, Michael, Raphael and Uriel, were selected to end the threat of the Nephilim and the rebellious angels, with Gabriel getting the mission to end the abominations born of the result of the union of angel and human. This mission was eventually abandoned when a new idea was brought up.
Gabriel along with Michael accompanied God to a meeting with other deities in order to decided what to do. The other deities had decided on a great flood, though God and Gabriel were against the idea. God sent Gabriel on a mission to hopefully guide humanity towards the right path while His Arbiters spread sin among them. Unfortunately, the Arbiters had corrupted more than Gabriel could free, so Gabriel was sent to gather the humans that resisted the corruptions and tell them to build arks and boats.
Before the Messiah[]
Before Enoch was able to die, Gabriel brought him up to Heaven alive. This made Enoch one of the few beings to be brought to Heaven without dying. During a contest between Daniel and the prince of Persia, Gabriel and Michael came to his aid.
During the year 2,067 BCE, he went on a mission alongside his brother Raphael and an avatar of God, Abraxas when they visited the patriarch Abraham and his wife, Sarah. Raphael's mission was to cure the mother of faith of her infertility, while Gabriel's was to infiltrate with Raphael in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. Gabriel and Raphael assumed female forms to enter the city with the intention of seeing if the town was indeed a town full of lust. Unfortunately, the people of that city were even worse than the the reports the two had received. Raphael then took Lot and his family from Sodom while Gabriel destroyed the two twons and others shrouded in flames.
Son of God[]
In 7-2 BCE, Gabriel was chosen to appear to the Virgin Mary to announce the birth of Jesus, the Messiah promised by the God of Israel in the Old Testament. Before that, Gabriel had already appeared to Priest Zechariah and announced the birth of John the Baptist, who, in addition to being Jesus' cousin, would be the one who would prepare the way for the true and unique light of the world.

Gabriel took clay from the sacred ground of the Earth while the Holy Spirit placed God's divine light into that clay to make a seed.

Quotes[]
“ | I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. | „ |
— Gabriel to Zechariah, Luke 1:19-20. |
“ | He was Gabriel of the Cherubim, Jibril of the El-Karrubiyan, those brought close to Allah. He sang praises to the Father during the dawn of creation. He covered the orphans and widows with his wings, warming them with his golden feathers. He announced the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Left Arm of God. And... he with his sword caused a carnage taking the lives of dozens of Egyptian babies during the Tenth Plague. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by him in a fiery and wrathful Armageddon, all because a man could not date another man. Why did he do all this? He doesn't even know... He just did as God commanded. The Left Hand of God. | „ |
