Bio:

“I know you have done some evil things my child, but it is not too late; no one is beyond salvation. So please… put down that gun.”

Gabriel was born into the religious order known as the Church of the Sakrala Förtjänst (now mostly just known as the Church of Sakrala). His father was a priest within the church and his mother died during childbirth so it seemed natural that Gabriel would follow in the footsteps of his father and join the church. There was always something about him and people quickly learned why; this child was blessed with a benevolent spirit binded to his soul.

Gabriel was heralded as a prophet or Chosen One and lived a pretty comfortable childhood within the church, unfortunately he did not share some of the same ideals as many of the other preachers there (including his father). The church was famous (or infamous) for its priests and preachers taking a rather hard and violent stand on evil. Gabriel however was more of a gentle soul than these warriors who crusaded against evil, preferring to try and help people change their ways, rather than simply administering ‘justice’.

This conflict of ideals lead to Gabriel always feeling like an outsider with only the mute benevolent spirit within him to keep him company. He was by no means rejected by the fellow preachers, but he was not like them. Even though many of the ‘Fire and Brimstone’ preachers considered Gabriel to be incredibly naïve and ignorant to the true horrors of the world outside the Church, there was no denying his ability to wins hearts and minds with his caring and charismatic nature or the miracles he was capable of performing.

Upon reaching the age of 21, it was time for Gabriel to choose his future; stay within the Church and continue his duties in his community or go out into the world and spread Justice and Virtue throughout the lands. Many people expected Gabriel to decide to stay with the Church due to his aversion to violent acts unless absolutely necessary. “The horrors of the outside world are no place for a gentle soul such as Gabriel” was the general consensus amongst all who knew him, which made his decision all the more unexpected. Gabriel knew that for peace to reign in the lands more than just righteous violence was needed, the people needed hope and guidance to build a brighter future for tomorrow. It is because of this he left the Church and began his journey into the world.
