|name= Gabriel
|actor= [[Richard Speight Jr.]]
|dates= Pre-creation - – 2018 (killed by [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]])
|location= [[Apocalypse World]]
|occupation= [[Archangel]] ([[Fallen Angels|Fallen]])<br>"[[:Category:Deities|Trickster]]"
The youngest of the four [[archangel]]s, Gabriel fought alongside [[God]], [[Michael]], [[Raphael]], and [[Lucifer]] to imprison [[the Darkness]] rather than killing her and causing a disruption in [[the Cosmic Balance]]. Gabriel lived in [[Heaven]] until Michael and Lucifer's constant fighting over the creation of humanity caused him to skip out of Heaven and seek refuge on Earth.
Thousands of years ago Gabriel, while walking hiking across the fjords, Gabriel came across the Norse trickster god, [[Loki]], who was bound in a cave where a snake was dripping venom into Loki's eyeshis eye. Gabriel would go on released him and Loki was left indebted to free Lokithe archangel. Once Michael and Lucifer began their fighting over the creation of humanity, Gabriel sought to escape the their constant quarreling, and remembering that turned to Loki owed , who repaid Gabriel for saving by giving the archangel his own private witness protection. Loki's life, Loki gave would give Gabriel his identity face and taught Gabriel teach him to be become the [[Trickster ]], on the one condition that Gabriel agreed to forever abandon the more "volatile affairs" of the Archangelshis family. Gabriel agreedaccepted his terms.
With the "real" Loki going into hiding to avoid his own family's drama, Gabriel embraced the lifestyle of a demi-god and meting out "just desserts to the high and mighty." During his time on Earth as the Trickster, Gabriel became acquainted with many other pagan [[gods]], even forming a romantic relationship with the Hindu goddess [[Kali]], who left him for the Norse god [[Baldur]]. After faking his death at the hands of Lucifer in the [[Elysian Fields Hotel]], Gabriel would meet with the [[shaman]] [[Sergei]], and barter a portion of his [[grace]] for a cloaking spell to keep him hidden while he partied in Monte Carlo with porn stars and the sons of [[Loki]]. The party was short-lived, as Loki, in an act of revenge for the death of [[Odin]] at Lucifer's hands, had his three sons bind Gabriel and sell him off to the [[Prince of Hell]] [[Asmodeus]], where Gabriel would endure seven years of torture and his grace being routinely extracted to feed and empower the power hungry prince.

[[File:PrisonerGabriel.png|thumb|right|350px|Gabriel imprisoned by [[Asmodeus]].]]
===[[13.13 Devil's Bargain]]===
After [[Asmodeus]] reveals that he has found the [[archangel blade]], [[Mr. Ketch]] reminds him that the lore says that the weapon can only be wielded by an [[archangel]]. Asmodeus leads Ketch to a cell where a figure is sitting, battered and with his mouth sewn shut. Asmodeus introduces Mr. Ketch to the Archangel archangel Gabriel, somehow still alive after being stabbed by [[Lucifer]]. ===[[13.16 Scoobynatural]]===After getting sucked into ''Scooby-Doo'', Dean suggests that the Trickster could be responsible like how Gabriel had once trapped them in a succession of TV show parodies. When Sam points out that Gabriel is dead, Dean ominously asks "or ''is'' he?" referencing the fact that Gabriel is secretly still alive. The Winchesters later remember how the last time they'd gotten stuck in a TV show by Gabriel, they'd gotten out by playing their part.
===[[13.17 The Thing]]===
===[[13.18 Bring 'em Back Alive]]===
:''"Uh...yeah. Not so much. I mean, thank you for the rescue and for the redemption arc. But, uh, I'm not really a team guy, so...I'm gonna bounce, okay? Um, but, you know, it's been, um... What's the opposite of fun? That."''
After being brought to the Bunker, Gabriel is unresponsive to Sam and [[Castiel]]'s inquiries and refuses to be given his grace. He eventually tells his story, writing it in [[Enochian]] on the walls of his room. Castiel translates the writings -- the story begins at Gabriel's supposed death at the hands of Lucifer in the [[Elysian Fields Hotel]]. The Gabriel which Lucifer stabbed was in fact the fake, while the real Gabriel teleported away and watched from a distance. Seeing his "death" as an opportunity to be free of any obligations to God, Heaven, or mankind, Gabriel moved to Monte Carlo and "shacked up" with porn stars. At some point in time, Gabriel was captured and delivered to Asmodeus, who for years subjected him to endless torture as his grace was taken to make Asmodeus stronger. Castiel attempts to use his powers to jolt his mind into thinking straight, but as it is impossible for an angel to heal an archangel, he believes that Gabriel is lost, retreating into his mind.
Sam eventually has enough of his silence and makes an impassioned plea to Gabriel. He tells him that "hookers and Monte Carlo" sound great, but that his family needs him, the world needs him, they need him, and Sam needs him. As Sam is about to leave the room, Gabriel speaks his first words since his rescue, telling him, "Porn stars. They were porn stars, Sam." Gabriel is then given a vial of his grace, but is unsure if its effects have done anything. When the power surges inside Gabriel, Asmodeus, connected to Gabriel's grace by virtue of his repeated consumption of it, is able to sense it. He places a call to Sam, demanding he give up Gabriel or else he will attack the Bunker. Sam refuses to give Gabriel up, strengthening the Bunker's warding in preparation for Asmodeus' incursion. The warding fails, and Asmodeus and his demons enter the Bunker and retrieve Gabriel. As Gabriel is being dragged away, he witnesses Asmodeus attempting to slowly kill Sam and Castiel, and he manages to overpower the demons holding him. This grabs the attention of Asmodeus, who tells Gabriel he is too weak to do anything to him. Gabriel's eyes begin to glow with angelic light, his wounds become instantly healed, and he unleashes his wings to a shocked Asmodeus. He throws a blast of energy at Gabriel, which the archangel easily deflects. Telling Asmodeus how much he has always hated his suit, Gabriel incinerates him with a gesture.
Gabriel makes his way to the motel the Winchesters are staying at hoping that they have more of his archangel grace. After Sam tends to his slash marks, Dean tells Gabriel that they used his grace to open up a rift. After resting up, Gabriel tries to leave, but Fenrir's brothers, [[Sleipnir]] and [[Narfi]], use Gabriel's blood to track him to the motel. A fight ensues and ends with Gabriel killing Narfi with another wooden sword and Sleipnir escaping certain death. Dean handcuffs Gabriel while he and Sam dump Narfi's corpse into a car crusher. When they return, Gabriel reluctantly tells them more of his story after faking his death at the [[Elysian Fields Hotel]].
Gabriel retreated to Monte Carlo and partied with Fenrir, Sleipnir, and Narfi and a bunch of porn stars in their estate. One night, the trio restrained him and sold him to Asmodeus. For the past seven years, Asmodeus has been torturing him endlessly while Gabriel plots to one day exact revenge on them all. He also reveals that he intends to kill the god responsible for everything that happened; [[Loki]]. Gabriel explains that he saved Loki, who was bound in a cave somewhere in the Fjords with a snake dripping venom in his eye. As repayment, Loki placed him into witness protection, thereby giving him his entire identity and teaching him to become the [[Trickster]]. In the meantime, Loki has been off the grid, but Gabriel knew he was hiding in Monte Carlo and thought that Loki would help him again after he faked his death. Dean believes that his time with Asmodeus never would have happened if Gabriel helped them fight Lucfier, but he reminds the Winchesters about how he told them about the [[Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#The_Rings|Horsemen's Rings]] to slam Lucifer back in [[the Cage]]. Sam offers his and Dean's help to Gabriel if he agrees to help them. Gabriel accepts and explains that Loki is hiding in the penthouse of the Ophidian Hotel. His plan is to kill Loki's sons in order before targeting Loki.
[[File:Gabriel-Kills-Loki.png|thumb|right|350px|Gabriel kills [[Loki]].]]
At the hotel, he tells the Winchesters that Sleipnir and Loki are his to kill while they take out the bodyguards. They take the elevator to the third floor and get in a shoot out with Sleipnir and his bodyguards. During the confusion, Dean takes the sword intended for Loki. After the gunfight ends, both the bodyguards are dead and Gabriel finishes off Sleipnir with his sword. Sam and Gabriel rush to the penthouse to catch up with Dean who is greeted by Loki. Loki explains that he sold Gabriel to Asmodeus for his role in the death of [[Odin]]. Despite knowing that Lucifer killed Odin, he wanted Gabriel punished as he gave the archangel his identity on the condition that he abandoned his family's volatile affairs forever, but he broke that promise and it cost his father his life. Dean tries to stab Loki, but he turns out to be an illusion to distract and attack Dean while the real Loki confronts Gabriel in the hallway. After Sam dispels the illusion, they rush to Gabriel to deliver the sword. Loki berates him for asking him for help again after inadvertently causing his father's death and questions whether or not he or his sons deserved to die for his cowardice. When the Winchesters arrive, Gabriel retrieves the sword and pins Loki to the wall. Loki tells Gabriel that he lives only for pleasure and stands for and will die for nothing, while Gabriel responds with "You first." and stabs Loki, killing him and completing his revenge.
Outside the hotel, he thanks the Winchesters for their reluctant assistance in his affairs and goes with them to the Bunker. He tells them that he's done with tricks and that he's a whole new guy now that he got his revenge. Gabriel's reaction suggests that like Dean tried to tell him would happen, Gabriel didn't get the satisfaction he expected with his revenge. At the Bunker, Castiel helps Gabriel settle in. Sam tells Dean that they will have to wait for his grace to recharge before preparing to travel to Apocalypse World.
===[[13.21 Beat the Devil]]===
Later, Gabriel tells Lucifer that Jack will see what he is, a bad influence incapable of empathy or love who lives to be worshiped and/or feared. Lucifer tries to convince him that he changed, but Gabriel is unconvinced as he remembers his time with his brothers. He believes that Jack is greatly influenced by the Winchesters and his mother's bloodline and believes that Jack would never want to be anything like his father let alone adopt his beliefs. Lucifer tries to defend himself, but Gabriel gets angry and declares that he's nothing more than a cancer that corrupted the previously innocent and beautiful humans. Lucifer couldn't stand that God loved them more than he loved him, so he tempted and corrupted them to prove their flaws. The reason that Lucifer was locked up was to purge the disease before it could spread, but it was too late by the time he was imprisoned. Gabriel tells his brother that it was to late for [[redemption]] back then as it is too late for him now. As Gabriel looks away, Lucifer is visibly affected by his brother's words and a single tear falls.
Later, the Winchesters, Castiel and Apocalypse World hunters prepare to leave the world through the portal by repairing an old bus. Gabriel questions why Lucifer is driving the bus, but Dean explains that he's letting him do so so they can keep an eye on him. Gabriel rides with Jack and the Winchesters on the Jeep as they make their way to the rift's location in Northeast Kentucky. The group arrives to find the rift starting to close, but to their shock, it begins to glow open again as Rowena doubles her efforts in the Bunker. Ketch, Mary, Jack, and Charlie lead the refugees through the rift into the Bunker until Sam, Dean, Lucifer, Gabriel and three others are left behind. Michael dive-bombs into the area, killing the three others in the resulting explosion. As Michael makes his presence known, Lucifer stands to fight him, but a short exchange leads to Lucifer's defeat. Michael notices Gabriel, who tells Sam and Dean to go, saying that he will not run anymore. Gabriel and Michael battle using their archangel blades. Michael is able to overpower Gabriel, and stabs him with his blade. As light explodes from Gabriel, his body goes limp in Michael's arms, and is placed on the ground as Sam and Dean cross over. Gabriel's dead body liesdead, wings scorched into the ground of Apocalypse World as Lucifer and Michael strike a deal to crossover together, as a look of remorse falls over Lucifer's face.
Later while everyone is celebrating in the Bunker, Dean explains how Gabriel died to Castiel, stating that they owe him everything for getting him and Sam out of the Apocalypse World.
===[[13.23 Let the Good Times Roll]]===
While making a deal with [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] to fight the super-charged [[Lucifer]], Dean flashes back to Gabriel telling him and Sam that they are [[Michael]] and Lucifer's true [[vesselsvessel]] s and that its their destiny.
===[[14.01 Stranger in a Strange Land]]===
===[[14.07 Unhuman Nature]]===
A [[Shamanism|shaman]] named [[Sergei]] revealed to [[Castiel]] that in exchange for a vial of his [[grace]], he gave Gabriel a powerful cloaking spell which allowed him to hide out in Monte Carlo with porn stars. At the Bunker, they performed a ritual which was intended to save Jack, but after consuming Gabriel's grace, his condition worsens. Sergei subsequently admits that the spell he gave them was just an experiment and Sergei didn't know if it would actually work or not. ==Trivia==* [[Chuck]] explains in [[11.22 We Happy Few]] that resurrecting Gabriel would take time they did not have. The reason Chuck was unaware that Gabriel was alive was later revealed in [[14.07 Unhuman Nature]], as Gabriel having traded a portion of his grace to the [[shaman]] [[Sergei]] for a potent cloaking spell.
