At some point, he had a relationship with Kali, and though they broke up he retains feelings for her. During his time on Earth he becomes a friend to some of the real Pagan deities he encounters, who know him as Loki. Gabriel then took to embracing the lifestyle of a god and meting out "just desserts" to those he felt deserved punishment. Gabriel then assumed Loki's appearance and the latter's role of a Pagan trickster. Loki agreed to help Gabriel go into "witness protection". As Michael and Lucifer went to war with each other, Gabriel approached Loki for help, wanting out of Heaven. Gabriel loved both his father and brothers, but couldn't choose sides and ran off to the Earth to escape it. Therefore, having grown tired of watching his brothers fight each other in Heaven, he fled to Earth thousands of years prior to the series. When God created humans and asked all angels to bow down before them, Gabriel did so whereas Lucifer rebelled. Gabriel freed Loki from his chains and saved Loki's life, with them becoming friends. Gabriel also mentioned that the Horn of Gabriel was, as he said, " One of Dad's little party favors that I never got around to messing with." In the fight against the Darkness, Gabriel helped his father and brothers win the war by aiding in her imprisonment.Īt some point, Gabriel went on a stroll through the fjords where he discovered the pagan deity Loki who was bound in a cave with a snake dripping venom into one of his eyes following a "spat" with his father Odin. The youngest archangel, Gabriel lived in Heaven with his father and siblings. Deciding to stop running like he did in the past, he chose to confront Michael but was ultimately defeated and killed by him. On the way back to the rift, the group was confronted by Michael. He then traveled to Apocalypse World with them to rescue his nephew Jack and Mary Winchester. Gabriel helped them by revealing himself to his brother Lucifer who he captured and brought to the Winchesters to power the rift. After killing Loki and getting his vengeance, Gabriel felt empty and decided to aid the brothers in defeating Michael to save the world. He was tracked by the Winchesters who decided to aid him in his endeavors as he was still low on power. Gabriel then tracked down the Deities who sold him to Asmodeus to obtain his revenge. After recovering and killing Asmodeus, Gabriel was informed of the transpiring events and chose to once more return to a life away from humans, angels, and demons. It was revealed that Gabriel had once again managed to fake his death, but was ultimately captured and tortured by Asmodeus for years. Gabriel was then rescued by Arthur Ketch, who delivered him to Sam and Dean at the Men of Letters bunker. Years later, Gabriel was revealed to still be alive by Asmodeus, who was holding him prisoner and stealing his grace to give himself more power. Since then, both Lucifer and God have at separate times stated that they believed Gabriel to be dead. The false Gabriel claimed that he had been in hiding, but disappeared once Castiel realized the trick. After the fall of the angels, Metatron created an illusion of Gabriel in an effort to deceive Castiel. Once Gabriel was exposed, he eventually aided Sam and Dean in stopping the Apocalypse by telling them the secret of the Cage door, but along the way was "killed" by Lucifer. As Loki he killed people across the world that he deemed to be douchebags, though some he spared to spread the word, and eventually encountered Sam and Dean who foiled his plans on more than one occasion and discovered his true identity. Gabriel described his experience at obtaining a vessel and taking on Loki's form as having a "face transplant." After that, he made quite a name for himself among other Pagan deities, and was in fact known as the famous Norse god, Loki. He rescued and befriended the Pagan god named Loki and soon went under "witness protection" and he began posing as the Norse trickster god himself. Gabriel loved both his father and brothers, but he was unable to choose sides between Michael and Lucifer, so he left Heaven and "skipped out" to Earth. When his older brothers, Michael and Lucifer, turned on each other and began fighting one another, he couldn't bear it, retreating to Earth as an escape. Although he was the very first celestial to be seen on the show, he was the last archangel to be revealed.Īccording to Gabriel, The Apocalypse was an issue he had to cope with on a daily basis. Gabriel was very compassionate towards his family. Despite the fact that he is the youngest of the archangels, he is still very powerful. Gabriel, also known as Loki or The Trickster, was the fourth and youngest of the four archangels created by God.
