Description

Gabriel Angelos, Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens, guides his brothers against the most dangerous enemies in the Galaxy. Uncompromising and honorable, Gabriel has little patience for those who would hesitate in battle. Although more effective in combat than Gorgutz 'Ead'Unter, Gabriel is not appropriate enough to take on a large army of enemies, unless he does have backup and can do well against a squad of enemies, but not if they have bigger amounts of reinforcements. Gabriel can be dropped anywhere on the field, healing all allies in the vicinity.[1] He arrived immediately to defend Varlock Keep against a large Ork horde, with a small remainder of his battle brothers, though Inquisitor Holt impatiently reminded him that they have more pressing matters other than defending the Keep, though that would mean losing one of the Emperor's shrines doing so. He arrived at Starfort Helios to relieve the defending Varlock Keep Guard from attacking Eldar, inadvertently being contacted by Autarch Kyre, who recognized him as both bane and defender of the Eldar, then destroyed two of their strongholds to lessen Eldar grip in the Starfort. Despite being immediately defeated by the Eldar (lead by Farseer Macha, who spares him abruptly), Gabriel springs back to his feet and relieves both Chief Librarian Jonah Orion and Chaplain Apollo Diomedes (both under attack by Eldar and Ork strike forces) under his command, eventually fighting off Orks and Eldar in the way. While in the Vault, Gabriel then catches the Orks unexpectedly and crushes both of their forces and Eldar with both Jonah and Diomedes following with his battle brothers, even destroying the Ork cannon used to forcefully open the Vault. Gabriel was then forced to sit back as Inquisitor Holt, unable to claim the Spear, attempts Exterminatus on the Vault (eventually opening it rather than destroying it) that destroys a large chunk of both Orks and Eldar, hoping that it could make a clearer path for the Blood Ravens to pass through with light resistance. This eventually causes Jonah and Diomedes to think that Gabriel died in the process and swore revenge against the Inquisitor, until Lady Solaria informs them that the Chapter Master is still alive (he was not anywhere close to the orbital fire). Disgusted at Holt's actions, Gabriel dismissed him from any further action, which angers the latter as he leaves, but not before cursing at Gabriel in the process. Gabriel then began destroying a large Eldar force guarding a path that leads directly to the Temple of Khaine, eventually destroying two Eldar strongholds and their Colossus Gateways (that could be used to reinforce Eldar numbers) and also Kyre's elite guard protecting the path to the Temple. After fighting off hordes of dopplegangers and Daemons with heavy casualties, Gabriel (in Macha's task) rallies all of his battle brothers to establish and holding Listening Posts in five locations, holding off against endless waves of dopplegangers and Bloodletters until Brother-Captain Balthazar arrives, in which Gabriel orders the latter to crash into Acheron to cripple the Daemon, which he does so unhesitatingly. Gabriel then joins a temporary alliance with Macha and Gorgutz to kill the Daemon, destroying many dopplegangers and Bloodletters and facing the Daemon himself in combat in the process. After killing the Daemon with Macha and Gorgutz, Gabriel departed warily to return to his battle brothers (at least what's left of them).
