Character Information

Name: Gabriel, also known as “Loki” or “The Trickster”
Fandom: Supernatural
Canon point: Just before his death in “Hammer of the Gods”
Age: REALLY OLD

Brief history: Gabriel, presumably, was created after Lucifer and Michael by God, at the beginning of creation. Gabriel cared deeply for his brothers and sisters, enjoying their time in heaven together, but soon Lucifer began to rebel against God; Lucifer was cast out, and God disappeared and the angels began to fight amongst themselves and against their absent father. Gabriel didn't want to watch the fighting or even get involved because it was too hard to watch or take sides, and went down to Earth, disguising himself as Loki, and later as a trickster. This self-exile caused him to become embittered towards both humans and his family, though he still cared for his family.

As Loki and a trickster, Gabriel spent his time ignoring his family as best he could, and giving people what he viewed as their just desserts using his heaven-granted powers; this frequently ended in their humiliation or death. He also became close with the pagan gods, even viewing them as friends of a sort.

This changed many years later, when he encountered the Winchester brothers. He was aware of the prophecy regarding both brothers, and at first chose not to get involved; later, he tried to get Sam to let Dean die, knowing that if Sam obsessed on his brother's death it would lead to the Apocalypse, though he returned Dean after stating that he was 'bored.'

He later tried again, after the two had released Lucifer, this time ostensibly to get them to 'own up' to the fact that they had started the Apocalypse by trapping them in 'TV land', but had his own game turned on him after he was trapped by the brothers, who told him he was a coward who wouldn't stand up to his own family. The words stung, but rang true.

Later, when Dean and Sam were captured by the pagan gods and bound to Kali to be used as bargaining chips, hopefully to stop the Apocalypse as started by Lucifer, Gabriel arrived in the guise of Loki, and attempted to free Sam and Dean from their clutches, to spare both the brothers and the gods who would inevitably face Lucifer or Michael's wrath. He ended up being captured by Kali himself, and faked his own death at Kali's hands in order to escape, and tells Dean that they'll have to free themselves from Kali's blood binding.

However, one of the gods, Mercury, called Lucifer to the hotel, hoping to strike a deal; most of the gods were killed by Lucifer, instead. Just when it seemed he would kill Kali and the brothers Winchester as well, Gabriel stepped in and stood up to his older brother, telling him that he agreed with God, that humans were better than angels. Humans could forgive, and would try to be better, unlike Lucifer, who was still upset that God ostensibly loved humans more than him.

And then Gabriel was going to shiv his ass (or die trying) but he ended up in El Dorado!

His character page is here and his angel-lore page is here.

Personality: Gabriel is very loyal to his family, and one of the reasons cited for him leaving Heaven was due to the conflict between his family - the angels and God, and his inability to choose between the two. He has displayed a bitter attitude towards his Father for disappearing, though apparently still cares about him. You could say most of his nonchalant attitude is a cover for how he feels about the Apocalypse and the fighting.

While he is powerful, he prefers to stay out of conflicts, and has been called a coward for this. Ironically, he loves punishing people, especially giving out what he calls “just desserts” - punishing people whom he judges as irredeemable, or just assholes in need of an adjusting. He likes the good life, women, and candy; while these may have been Trickster traits he played up, he does seem to genuinely enjoy human comforts. He can be serious when called for (which is rarely), but even this is dosed with a bit of levity. His family is a bit of a sore spot, as well as the implication that he is under someone's thumb.

At the point in canon I am taking him from, he has decided to align with the humans, and so is ready to kill his own brother, Lucifer, or even Michael, to accomplish this and protect them.

Abilities: Gabriel is an archangel; in his canon, the only people more powerful than him, that we know of, are Lucifer, Michael, and God himself. In El Dorado, he will retain the ability to communicate with other angels via 'Angel radio' (with a mun's permission, of course), the ability to create small, nonharmful and nonliving objects out of thin air, telekinesis, nigh-invulnerability (he can be killed by angel-killing blades, the Colt, presumably by holy oil fire), teleportation (within city limits), his superior strength, his ability to shapeshift himself into other human forms and create illusions, heal (but not revive from death) other living creatures, knock people out by placing two fingers on their forehead (but not to replace or rearrange memories), precognition, seeing the true face of angels and demons, exorcism, as well as most likely knowing most human languages, living or dead, and being able to use powerful magic. Gabriel is bound to his vessel, assuming (this is fanon) that he created it, and in El Dorado he cannot vacate it.

...IN SHORT GABRIEL IS A STU. I am willing to nerf this much further.

Third-person sample: Once Dean, Sam and Castiel had exited the warehouse, Gabriel watched the last of the flamed die down before he transported himself away.

He whisked himself to a large, open house, set in the side of a mountain; a little residence in Greece that he kept at will. Already dry again, he stared hard out of the ornate glass windows, at a lake he could see in the distance, feeling irritation well up at Dean's words, and at Castiel's parting glance.

He of all people didn't want this destruction, this petty little fight between his father and his two older brothers that was called 'Apocalypse'; Humans were kind of fun to mess around with, reactions and choices endlessly entertaining and twisting; even he couldn't predict what they would do, sometimes.

But there was - just no way he was going to take a side. Michael's side, a new paradise on Earth - and don't think he hadn't heard about it - didn't appeal, too full of the stuffy rules of the Paradise that he'd escaped and come to loathe. Lucifer's side, a world of demons and total destruction, appealed even less, and would result in the death of many of his brothers. And his father's side - the human side - was absent, with only the tiny scurrying ants to represent it.

Gabe hated both the fact that he couldn't make a choice and the fact that he couldn't.

There was irony, he supposed, in telling the Winchesters to take responsibility when he himself was apparently running from it. Reaching for a ruddy red apple and biting into it harshly, he stepped out towards the balcony. Raising his fingers and snapping them, he conjured a beautiful blonde woman into existence; as an afterthought, he added a short-haired redhead.

No sense in dwelling in things that weren't his business, after all. Sam and Dean would end up as vessels.

That was what Gabriel told himself, anyway, and tried to ignore the twinge of disappointment at the thought of them giving in, the feeling of pride that they were still resisting destiny.
