Gabriel
Gabriel - A member of the Avalon clan. Gabriel is the biological son of Othello and Desdemona, although nobody knows this as yet. Like the other gargoyles on Avalon, he was raised by Princess Katharine, the Magus, and Tom.
When the Archmage attacked Avalon in 1995, Gabriel boldly took part in the defence of the island against him. He also fought alongside Goliath and Angela against Oberon when the latter returned to Avalon in 1996, although like them, he was defeated. Gabriel is still living on Avalon with the other gargoyles there, and serves as the clan’s leader.
Characteristics
Gabriel is particularly close to Angela, although in a non-romantic fashion; they see each other as brother and sister rather than as lovers. He is mated to Ophelia, who serves as his second-in-command.
{Gabriel was named after the Archangel Gabriel, one of the four great Archangels of Judeo-Christian lore (the other three being Michael, Raphael, and Uriel). In the Bible, Gabriel was the messenger from Heaven who informed the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to Jesus ( Luke 1: 26-38). He also appears in Milton’s epic poem "Paradise Lost", where he is the captain of the angels serving as guardians to the Garden of Eden (a particularly interesting role, in light of the Gabriel of "Gargoyles" and his clan similarly serving as guardians to the paradisaical isle of Avalon).}
