Archangel Gabriel

The youngest of the four archangels, 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 later while hiking across the fjords, Gabriel came across the Norse trickster god, Loki, bound in a cave where a snake was dripping venom into his eye. Gabriel released him and Loki was left indebted to the archangel. Once Michael and Lucifer began their fighting over the creation of humanity, Gabriel sought to escape their constant quarreling and turned to Loki, who repaid Gabriel by giving the archangel his own private witness protection. Loki would give Gabriel his face and teach him to become the Trickster, on the one condition that Gabriel agreed to forever abandon the more "volatile affairs" of his family. Gabriel accepted his terms.

With the "real" Loki going into hiding to avoid his own family's drama, Gabriel embraced the lifestyle of a demiod 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.

As the Trickster, Gabriel behaved in a mischievous manner and enjoyed toying with the unwitting human subject she of his game-playing. He embraced a hedonistic lifestyle, including the "sweet tooth" for which the demigod was notorious. Even after revealing himself to be an archangel, Gabriel still used misdirection to achieve his goals and to protect himself. He was often sarcastic, making Gabriel's manner the most similar to a human of any of the angels, perhaps because of his long sojourn on Earth, and his appreciation of what he acknowledged humans could achieve.
