An Archpriest's Forging
Little is known about Gabriel's early life, aside from the fact he was born in what once was Liberal, Kansas. It is known, however, he participated in the Sacking of Boulder, which is where he would first meet the Prophet.
Born just outside of Liberal, Kansas on a small farm around 2044, around the beginning of the Mississippi War, Gabriel at first lived an unassuming life. He would go through the usual life a poor farmer would, though with a few other experiences. When 10, a raid on Liberal took place, with some marauders, once defeated, now sought refuge in their farm. This event would later lead to him joining the Gang. Alongside this, he learned how to use an axe, mallet, and various types of scavenged revolvers. Once the Panhandle Skirmishes broke out, he would run away from home, joining up with a small group known as the Ten-Minute Gang at around 14. In the Battle of Greasy Slopes, he alone would rout the Navajo Exiles from the Panhandle, securing a small victory for the Gang, though losing an arm in the process. No longer able to easily fight, he left the Gang, heading up into Liberal itself to find a job, now 16.

The One of Heaven
Now crippled, Gabriel was unable to find a job he could actually work at, and would have to beg on the streets for months. Slowly starving and wasting away, he lost more and more hope until finally deciding to leave the city. On January 16th, 2061, however, the Prophet would arrive in Liberal on his journey to his foreseen promised land. Strangely, the Prophet had seen something in Gabriel, and offered Gabriel to join him in his journey, becoming his first disciple. Gabriel, with no other options, accepted. Joining alongside the Prophet on June 4th, 2061, Gabriel would follow his teachings to the point, becoming the Prophet's most ardent follower. As 2 years passed, they eventually arrived at a small canyon in West Texas, somewhere near the Rio Grande. Gabriel would suggest that this was the promised land, as great amounts of green and a flowing river passed through this undoubtedly beautiful area. The Prophet, recalling his vision, agreed, founding the village of Serpent's Crossing, named such as they had seen a snake cross through the area.

The Disciple's Ascension
As Serpent's Crossing grew throughout the months, the Prophet, after gaining the other two disciples, Lamia and Midas, would disappear. Now alone, these three have formed the Triumvirate, leading the Cult as it withers and fights the odds. Gabriel was named the Archpriest, and took control of spiritual and martial responsibilities. However, he is lazier and more indecisive than most think, leading the cult reluctantly, and only motivated by his desire to find the Prophet. Only time will tell if he is strong enough to keep the splintering unity of the cult together...

The Man of Fractured Copper
Today, Gabriel serves as the head of the Triumvirate, as reluctant as he may be. Though his arm will likely never be truly replaced, he has found a "suitable" replacement by obtaining an arm of copper. He didn't choose copper, no, it was simply his only option. He's grown as accustomed as can be to it, though it is hard to move. However, both he and his affiliates know the arm won't last forever, as it's already fracturing. Bits and pieces slowly crack as it wears and tears, but he still yet has no replacement.

The Den of Lethargy
Unlike Lamia and Midas, Gabriel is heavily lethargic. He has managed to hide it well, though only from the common cultist. This is not his only bad trait, as despite his time in the Ten-Minute Gang, he's quite craven, only defending the village when absolutely necessary and desperately attempting to reunite the fractured cult through words. The traits he has to make up from this is his knowledge on wasteland survival, surprising "skills" as a diplomat in the hellhole that is the Trans-Pecos, his experience with the Ten-Minute Gang, knowledge on melee combat, alongside his general compassion, generosity, and the sort.
