Gabriel - A member of the Avalon clan. Gabriel is also the leader of his clan.
History
Gabriel's biological parents are Othello and Desdemona, though nobody knows this as yet. His egg was laid in the Wyvern Clan rookery in 988 and was due to hatch in 998. Due to the Wyvern Massacre however, Princess Katharine, the Magus, and Tom were forced to take all the rookery eggs away in 994. The next year, on September 28th 995, they took the eggs to Avalon. Because of the difference in the flow of time there, Gabriel did not hatch until 1058.
Princess Katherine, the Magus and Tom raised the "eggs" as their children and Gabriel grew up on Avalon, with his rookery brothers and sisters, in peace and isolation from the world. Eventually, his clan appointed him their leader. He chose Angela, his sister and close friend, to be his second-in-command. By 1995, he had become romantically involved with Ophelia.
When the Archmage attacked Avalon in 1995, Gabriel boldly took part in the defence of the island against him and his allies (including his rookery mother Demona). He also fought alongside Goliath and Angela against Oberon when the latter returned to Avalon in 1996, although like them, he was defeated.
After Angela left the Clan, Gabriel appointed his mate, Ophelia, to be his new second-in-command. He is still living on Avalon with the other gargoyles there.
Characteristics
Gabriel is a strong gargoyle possessing traits from both his biological parents. From his mother he inherited his horns and hair coloring, and from his father he inherited his skin coloring. His wings seem to be an amalgam of the wings of his parents. He also has an interesting brow ridge structure and two small horns on his chin, neither of which his parents have. It has been theorized that these traits likely come from a biological grandparent.
Real World Background
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).
