Editing Gabriel Angelos (section)

==Gabe's role in Dawn of War I==
Gabe commanded the Blood Ravens 3rd Company who were tasked with stopping an Ork invasion of the planet [[Tartarus]] led by [[Warboss]] [[Orkamungus]]. After wading through the Orks and assorted Eldar, it's eventually revealed that [[Bale]], a [[Chaos Lord]], was orchestrating everything and planning to recover an artifact called the "[[METAL BOXES|Maledictum]]", which imprisoned a greater daemon of Khorne (It wasn't a Bloodthirster, but probably either its Exalted variant or a daemon prince).

During the campaign he proves to be a pretty reasonable dude, saving civilians and diverting resources to protect them, proving that one does not have to be grimdark 24/7 in the shitpile battlefield of a galaxy to be a famous character. Unlike [[Marines Malevolent|certain assholes]], they care for the innocent, and spend extraordinary effort to rescue people and actually walk the walk when all you are what remains between [[Ork|retarded beligerent fungus]], [[Chaos|spiky faggots on crack with dental issues]] and a horde of innocent men, women and children.

Gabriel's friend and one of the only other survivors from Cyrene was [[Isador Akios]], a Librarian who served in Gabriel's company. Bale's [[Chaos Sorcerer]] lieutenant, [[Sindri Myr]], telepathically subverted Isador against the Imperial forces, which led to him taking the Maledictum when it was unearthed. Isador blamed Gabe for the [[Exterminatus]] of Cyrene, but Gabe claimed that he did it for the good of humanity. Isador may have further argued the point, but Gabriel instead decided to cut the bullshit and to perform a time-honored Space Marine cleansing ritual to free Isador from the taint of the dark gods; [[Blam|the ritual itself closely resembled discharging a bolter round directly into Isador's head at point-blank range]].

After the death of Isador, Gabe got his shit together and faced off against Sindri, now a daemon prince of Khorne (Much to Khorne's dismay, a sorcerer even offering tribute to him). He eventually succeeded in bashing Sindri's head into his spine and saving Tartarus from becoming a daemon world. His last act before leaving Tartarus was to smash the Maledictium with God-Splitter, [[Mordecai Toth|Inquisitor Mordecai Toth]]'s daemon hammer, even after the warnings of [[Macha]] that he'd doom everyone by doing it. In Just as Planned fashion, it did; rather than banishing the bound daemon (which given that God Splitter is an Daemonhammer built to kill daemons would be an expected out come), destroying the Maledictum freed it. Based on the daemon's endgame gloating monologue, all the "blood sacrifice" of wartime death (mostly Angelos's personal handiwork, including Orkamungus, Bale, and finally Sindri) had strengthened the daemon enough for it to escape the shattering intact. Gabriel then had to live with the fact that he was responsible for its freedom and would fight it if it should ever appear again.
