[x]Gabriel, also known as Loki or The Trickster, was the fourth and youngest of the four archangels created by God. Despite the fact that he is the youngest of the archangels, he is still very powerful. Gabriel was very compassionate towards his family. Although he was the very first celestial to be seen on the show, he was the last archangel to be revealed.
According to Gabriel, The Apocalypse was an issue he had to cope with on a daily basis. 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. 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.
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 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. 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. 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. After the fall of the angels, Metatron created an illusion of Gabriel in an effort to deceive Castiel. The false Gabriel claimed that he had been in hiding, but disappeared once Castiel realized the trick. Since then, both Lucifer and God have at separate times stated that they believed Gabriel to be dead.
[x]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. Gabriel was then rescued by Arthur Ketch, who delivered him to Sam and Dean at the Men of Letters bunker. It was revealed that Gabriel had once again managed to fake his death, but was ultimately captured and tortured by Asmodeus for years. 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.
Gabriel then tracked down the Deities who sold him to Asmodeus to obtain his revenge. He was tracked by the Winchesters who decided to aid him in his endeavors as he was still low on power. After killing Loki and getting his vengeance, Gabriel felt empty and decided to aid the brothers in defeating Michael to save the world.
Gabriel helped them by revealing himself to his brother Lucifer who he captured and brought to the Winchesters to power the rift. He then traveled to Apocalypse World with them to rescue his nephew Jack and Mary Winchester. On the way back to the rift, the group was confronted by Michael. Deciding to stop running like he did in the past, he chose to confront Michael but was ultimately defeated and killed by him.
[x]The youngest archangel, Gabriel lived in Heaven with his father and siblings. 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.
At 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. Gabriel freed Loki from his chains and saved Loki's life, with them becoming friends.
When God created humans and asked all angels to bow down before them, Gabriel did so whereas Lucifer rebelled. Therefore, having grown tired of watching his brothers fight each other in Heaven, he fled to Earth thousands of years prior to the series. Gabriel loved both his father and brothers, but couldn't choose sides and ran off to the Earth to escape it. As Michael and Lucifer went to war with each other, Gabriel approached Loki for help, wanting out of Heaven. Loki agreed to help Gabriel go into "witness protection".
Gabriel then assumed Loki's appearance and the latter's role of a Pagan trickster. Gabriel then took to embracing the lifestyle of a god and meting out "just desserts" to those he felt deserved punishment. During his time on Earth he becomes a friend to some of the real Pagan deities he encounters, who know him as Loki. At some point, he had a relationship with Kali, and though they broke up he retains feelings for her.
[x]Acting as a demi-god, Gabriel behaves in a mischievous manner, enjoys toying with his victims, humans he believes should be brought down a notch. He embraces a hedonistic lifestyle, including the "sweet tooth" for which that type of demi-deity was known. Even after revealing himself to be an Archangel, he still used misdirection to achieve his goals and to protect himself. He was often sarcastic. Gabriel's manner was the most human of any of the angels so far, perhaps because of his long sojourn on Earth. He holds humans in high regard, despite their many faults, something the other Archangels did not, not even Michael.
Nothing is known of his vessel, though the Pagan deities' familiarity with it indicates Gabriel had possessed him for a long time, possibly centuries. During his masquerade, Gabriel formed a relationship with Kali and continued to have a soft spot for her as he risked and nearly lost his life for her.
Despite how ever long Gabriel had been running and hiding from his father and siblings, he still confesses concern for lesser angels, as he was willing to implore Castiel to lead them against Metatron, and still has love for his archangel brethren, including Lucifer, as he mentioned that he still loved both them and God. When he met his nephew, he casually greeted him and gave him a warning about his father as he knew that Lucifer being around him would be trouble.
However, because he couldn't bear with the fighting going on in Heaven between Michael and Lucifer, and because it had happened again during the Apocalypse, Gabriel just wanted the fighting to stop. Although he didn't care if either Heaven or Hell would win, he didn't want any part in the fight and all he wanted was for it to be over. However, after re-gaining his faith in humans, he eventually sided with them as he came to the aid of the Winchesters after Lucifer attacked.
[x]Despite being the youngest Archangel created by God, Gabriel was one of the oldest and most powerful beings in existence being endowed with considerable power. He originally appeared to the Winchester brothers as a Trickster. Before they knew he was an Archangel, Sam called him "one of the most powerful creatures we've ever met." Both Castiel and Sam have said that Gabriel was much more powerful than a Trickster, too powerful to be one in fact. At full power he can very easily kill even the mightiest of pagan deities. Due to his diminished grace, Gabriel was weaker, though still very powerful. Even in his weakened state, he was powerful enough to kill a Prince of Hell effortlessly. However, doing this in his weakened state, along with teleporting out of the Men of Letters Bunker afterwards, caused Gabriel to drain his grace. Gabriel was also able to put up some resistance against the Alternate Michael before he was killed.
Lower Tier Nigh-Omnipotence - Being the youngest archangel, Gabriel possessed an unbelievable amount of power, enough that he could create entire pocket universes with their own timeline and add in timelines to the universe with just a thought. However, while powerful enough to challenge or rival them, he is significantly weaker than Lucifer and Michael.
Angelic Possession - Gabriel requires a vessel while on Earth. He needs the vessel's consent. Bloodline requirements, if any, for Gabriel's vessels are unknown.
Astral projection - Gabriel was able to display his wings in a display of power.
Biokinesis - With a hand gesture, he was able to prevent Sam and Dean from speaking.[2]
Chronokinesis - Gabriel can travel forwards or backwards through time. He can also put others in time loops. He was able to send Sam back to the day Dean died "permanently" with just a snap of his fingers, apparently rewinding time to do so.
Clairsentience - Even when weakened by a lack of grace, he was able to psychically detect Rowena's tracking spell.
Deflection - When attacked by Asmodeus with an energy blast, he was able to redirect the blast away from him.
Electromagnetic Interference - Despite being weakened by a lack of grace, Gabriel was able to turn the lights off and on with a snap of his fingers effortlessly.
Pyrokinesis - Gabriel was able to light two candles with just a thought. Gabriel was later able to kill the Prince of Hell Asmodeus by incinerating him with a gesture.[3]
Thermokinesis - Gabriel was able to destroy warding at the resistance camp in the Apocalypse World.
Reality Warping - Gabriel is remarkably talented with this power and can accomplish just about anything with it, and it is his trademark as well as his most utilized ability. He can warp reality, whether it be by making objects or living beings appear out of thin air, or by reshaping objects into something else entirely, or by creating unreal dimensions and large time loops.[1][4] He also once turned Sam Winchester into the Impala. He easily fooled the most powerful of pagan deities, created a fake Archangel blade - which he said he created from a can of Diet Orange Slice - that Kali "killed" him with. None of them knew it was a trick and believed Gabriel was, in fact, dead after Kali stabbed him.
Conjuration - Gabriel can create anything out of thin air, whether it be people, creatures, beings, or objects.
Self-Duplication - Gabriel can create another duplicate of himself to deceive others, as he did a few times with the Winchesters, and once with a group Pagan Deities. Even his brother, who, according to himself, taught Gabriel everything he knows, was completely sure, when he killed one of these duplicates, that he actually killed Gabriel.
Power Granting - Gabriel was able to grant the beautiful women he created for Dean superhuman strength. He was also able to Dean the ability to speak Japanese briefly (though he didn't actually understand what he was saying).
Regeneration - Gabriel was able to instantly heal all of his injuries.
Shapeshifting - Gabriel can change his vessel's appearance at will. Gabriel disguised himself as Dr. Sexy when he trapped Sam and Dean in his conjured TV world. When he confronted Lucifer in a bar Gabriel disguised himself as a bartender to get close to him, and Lucifer hasn't even identified him as an angel.
Supernatural Concealment - After leaving Heaven, Gabriel lived among the pagans for sometime while successfully hiding his status as an angel. He later managed to fake his death at Lucifer's hands. His concealment is so powerful that even his father God believed him to be dead for the following eight years.
Super Senses - Gabriel was able to hear Sam and Dean "fighting" down below from a closed window many floors up, and on another occasion, while he was walking away from the restaurant, he heard that Sam had found him out and threw him back to Tuesday again.
Super Strength - Although the youngest archangel, Gabriel endows his vessel with dramatically increased superior strength and can exert tremendous amounts of physical force. He can overpower and kill any humans, deities, lesser angels, demons, monsters, and spirits. When Dean confronted Gabriel by grabbing him against a wall, he almost broke Dean's arm with one hand, even though he was restraining himself. He overpowered and almost choked Dean unconscious on one occasion, still restraining himself. Even while weakened, Gabriel still was easily strong enough to overpower and toss several demons off him with great force. Even in a weakened state, Gabriel is able to still briefly hold is own, even against some of the most powerful angels.[5] This is seen when Gabriel fights the alternate Michael, as the one blow Gabriel landed was able to stagger Michael briefly and visibly caused him a moment of pain, although he was no match for Michael and was quickly overpowered and killed. The only confirmed beings to surpass his overwhelming strength were his Archangel brothers, God, Death, and The Darkness.
Telekinesis - Gabriel can impart kinetic energy on matter with his mind. Castiel, although being a powerful celestial at the time, was no match for his much older brother.[4] Gabriel slammed him into walls, duct taped his mouth and played around with Cass like he was nothing using telekinesis. This further proved that the power of ordinary angels could not even compare with the immense powers of the four Archangels. He even managed to use his telekinesis to throw his older brother Lucifer across a room with considerable force, although Lucifer was caught off guard at the time and quickly recovered.
Telepathy - Gabriel is able to read the thoughts and memories of humans and monsters.
Empathy - Gabriel is able to read the emotions of humans and monsters.
Teleportation - Gabriel can travel from one place to another, instantaneously, without occupying the space in between and even take others with him. Even after Metatron's Spell, Gabriel retained this ability as he was able to leave the bunker in an instant.
Apporting - Gabriel was able to casually send Castiel away, and brought him back again just as easily. Gabriel also sent Sam and Dean back to their room with a snap of his fingers.
Nigh-Omniscience - Gabriel possesses an immense amount of knowledge of the universe. He was fully aware of Castiel searching for God despite nobody telling him of the latter's efforts. He even possesses knowledge on his older brother's Cage, and how to open it. Gabriel is also insanely smart, having succeeded on faking his death more than once. On one occasion, he tricked a big group of Pagan Deities into thinking he had been murdered by Kali, only to appear again in time to save the latter from Lucifer's wrath.
Immortality - Gabriel has an indefinitely long lifespan, having existed long before the creation of the universe. He is unaffected by disease, toxins or time and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep.
Invulnerability - As an archangel, Gabriel is invulnerable to most forms of harm with very few weapons being capable of killing him and only stronger beings such as the older archangels, God and the Darkness having the power to cause Gabriel serious harm or kill him.
Immunity - Even in his weakened state, he was immune to warding at resistance camp in the Apocalypse World and he was able to destroy it. He was also immune to the effects of Metatron 's Expelling Angels spell as Gabriel retained his wings and full power.
Swordsmanship - Gabriel displayed great swordsmanship profiency, showing impressive moves with a sword, fighting sporadically and swiftly. He even held off Michael from the Apocalypse World in a sword fight but eventually proved no match for him.
[x]Fun Facts :Although he is an archangel, thus making him remarkably strong and very powerful, as a celestial being, Gabriel is still susceptible to the angelic weaknesses that even archangels possess.
Harming, Misleading or Trapping
Lucifer's Cage - This cell can hold any angel, including Gabriel, without any internal means of escape.
Enochian Sigils - Gabriel cannot locate someone if they are warded by enochian sigils. An Enochian sigil on a bag was able to bind him for Loki, Fenrir, Narfi and Sleipnir to capture Gabriel.
Blood spell - Kali was able to control Gabriel by using his blood for a spell, but she couldn't block his powers and abilities.
Holy Fire - Gabriel can be trapped in a loop of holy fire. On one occasion when Gabriel got trapped inside a circle of holy fire by the Winchesters, he managed to undo the fake television scenario they were in and put them back in the real world, but without crossing the flames. So, Gabriel can still use some of his powers while inside the circle - the restrictions to his power displaying, in these conditions, are unknown, though.
Grace Removal - Like any other angel, Gabriel can have his grace removed, which would render him human.
Low Grace - While his grace is low and recharging, Gabriel is particularly vulnerable. Fenrir was able to cause Gabriel enough harm that he required time to heal and was left weakened for awhile. Loki easily defeated him and he only killed the Trickster with aid from Sam and Dean. Lucifer also was not afraid of Gabriel when Dean ordered him to kill him, saying that he was too weak to challenge him. In this state, Gabriel can't use much of his powers and his physical strength is weakened as well.
Supernatural Handcuffs - At least while his grace is low, Gabriel can be bound by the handcuffs.
[x]Now Gabriel is somewhat tamed by his new love for life Shilo Gilbert. Gabriel met her through Dean and Sam Winchester when she was helping them. He knew right away that he had to have her. But it was a lot of work to get Dean, Sam and Shilo's family especially her twin sister Elena to allow him to be with her. And now he is with her and enjoying their life together.
