Like many of the [[Blood Ravens, ]] Gabriel was born on the planet of [[Cyrene]], from whence the [[Chapter]] often drew recruits. Gabriel He was an accomplished leader of his peers before he even entered his teen years, and passed the [[Blood Trials ]] set by the [[Blood Raven Ravens]]' [[Chaplain]]s through working in tandem with fellow [[aspirantAspirant]] [[Isador Akios]].{{Cite Thiscitethis}}.[[File:Gabe.jpg|350px|thumb|Gabriel Angelos as Captain of the Blood Raven Third Company]]

[[File:Gabe.jpg|350px|thumb|left|Gabriel Angelos as [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the [[Blood Ravens]] [[3rd Company (Blood Ravens)|Third Company]]{{Fn|4}}]]Many years later, with an entire [[Company]] of [[Blood Ravens ]] under his command, Gabriel returned to [[Cyrene, ]] to preside over the [[Blood Trials ]] and recruit new members into the [[Chapter]]. But Gabriel found something very wrong during the trials, trial and cut them short. He quickly returned to his [[Strike Cruiser]], and sent a coded signal out of the system. Within months of the signal, ships of the [[Inquisition]] and the [[Imperial Navy]] appeared over Cyrene and began the cleansingof the planet. Accompanying the [[Ordo Malleus]] was a full [[Brotherhood]] of [[Grey Knights]]. With the Blood Ravens and a detachment of [[Storm Troopers]], the Grey Knights took the cleansing to the surface. What they found was not a [[Chaos]] cult per se, but a world ready to embrace change. Ideas like democracy, un-registered [[psykersPsykers]] and free trade with [[xenosXenos]] were now widespread. Gabriel assisted with the destruction of his world but ordered one squad of Blood Ravens, led by [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant ]] [[Ulray]] to remain off the grid, searching for someone.{{citethis}}

That person was [[Esmond Angelos]], Gabriel's father. Gabriel refused to believe that his father, a retired [[Imperial Guard]] soldier, would turn have turned away from the [[Emperor]]. He fully intended to take Esmond back with him to the [[Chapter]]. But to Gabriel's horror, he discovered that his father not only supported rebellion against the [[Imperium]], but was one of the major political leaders. Esmond despised the Imperium because the [[Space Marines]] had used the fact taken away his own son had been taken by the Space Marines as reason to despise the Imperium. Esmond and cursed Gabriel for his role as an Imperial butcher and wished he had died with his mother in childbirth. Gabriel whispered one last prayer for [[Cyrene ]] and put a bolt shell through executed his father's skull. {{Fn|6}}

[[Image:Gabriel-Angelos.jpg|200px|thumb|Gabriel Angelos, captain of the 3rd company of the Blood Ravens]]It was on [[Tartarus]] that Gabriel was to undergo the true tests of his abilities and his faith, as he had to both stall an unstoppable [[Ork]] invasion long enough to evacuate the planet, while simultaneously seeking out and eradicating the [[Alpha Legion]] forces on the planetworld, led by [[Bale (Chaos Lord)|Lord Bale]] and the [[Chaos Sorcerer]] [[Sindri Myr]]. The Chaos forces were searching for a ancient artifact called the [[Maledictum]], and the sorcerer Sindri managed to corrupt [[Isador Akios]], now a [[Librarian]] of the chapter[[Blood Ravens]] [[Chapter]], into betraying the Blood Ravens.{{Fn|1}}^,{{Fn|2a}}.

Gabriel, shaken by the loss of his old friend[[Isador Akios]], nonetheless confronted Isador him and executed him for heresy. He went on to lead the [[Blood Ravens ]] against [[Chaos]], slaying [[Bale (Chaos Lord)|Lord Bale ]] in a duel and eventually defeating [[SindriMyr]], who had used the [[Maledictum ]] to become a [[Daemon Prince]].{{Fn|1}}^,{{Fn|2b}}.

After defeating [[Sindri Myr|Sindri, ]] however, Angelos destroyed the [[Maledictum ]] with a [[Daemonhammer]], called [[God-Splitter]], thinking to eradicate the [[Chaos ]] threat, but instead he released a great [[warpWarp]] [[daemonDaemon]] from its prison, as foreseen by [[Eldar]] [[Farseer]] [[Macha]] who had aided in fighting the daemon. Farseer Macha had warned him not to destroy the Maledictum but he had proceeded to smash it with the [[God-Splitter]]anyway. He Angelos escaped [[Tartarus ]] before the ensuing [[warp storm ]] trapped him there, and vowed to defeat the new Chaos threat he himself had unleashed{{Fn|1}}^,{{Fn|2c}}.

Shortly after the [[Tartarus Campaign, ]] campaign Angelos, traveled to the world of [[Rahe's Paradise]], to conduct the [[Blood Trials ]] for a new set of [[aspirant]]sfor the [[Blood Ravens]]. At first, all seemed routine (save for his premonitions of an [[Eldar]] invasion), but soon after the discovery of an ancient Eldar tablet, all hell broke loose: [[Eldar]] [[Ranger]]s conducted multiple hit-and-run attacks, focusing exclusively on the [[Psyker]]s of the [[Chapter]] and the potential psykers among the Blood Trials aspirants, and Gabriel met with [[Farseer]] [[Macha]] once more.{{Cite Thiscitethis}}.

[[Macha]] revealed that the [[Eldar]] had killed the [[Rangerpsykers]]to prevent the breaking of [[Lsanthranil's conducted multiple hit-and-run attacksShield]], focusing exclusively a device that gave the illusion of a large Eldar psychic presence on the planet. This illusion was the only thing preventing the awakening of the [[psykerNecron]]s hidden under the surface of the chapter and planet, which would continue to slumber as long as they believed that their ancient foes still dominated the potential psykers among the Trial aspirants, and Gabriel met with Farseer Macha once moregalaxy.{{Cite Thiscitethis}}.

She revealed that the Eldar had killed the psykers to prevent the breaking of Despite [[Lsanthranil's Shield]], a device that gave the illusion of a large Eldar psychic presence on the planet. This illusion was the only thing preventing the awakening of the [[NecronMacha]]s hidden under the surface of the planet, which would continue to slumber as long as they believed that their ancient foes still dominated the galaxy still{{Cite This}}. Despite Macha's warnings, a space battle destroyed the [[Spirit Pool ]] of the [[Dark Reaper]] aspect, and the psychic scream of the lost souls shattered Lsantril[[Lsanthranil's Shield, ]] and awakened the [[Necrons]]. Gabriel Angelos then ordered the [[Exterminatus|destruction of the planet]], and left for the threatened planet of [[Lorn V ]] with the surviving aspirants[[aspirant]]s.{{Cite Thiscitethis}}.

When Angelos arrived at on [[Lorn V]], he made contact with the single [[Eldar ]] survivor of the battle, [[Farseer ]] [[Taldeer]], who had been asking for him since teleporting to the [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Litany of Fury]]''.{{Cite Thiscitethis}}.

Ignoring accusations of [[heresy]] levelled against him by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Ulantis]] of the [[9th Company (Blood Ravens)|Ninth Company]], Angelos was convinced by [[Taldeer ]] to allow her to take him and a small squad of [[Blood Ravens ]] to a rip in the [[webwayWebway]], made by the [[Librarian]] [[Rhamah]], in an attempt to reach the world World of lawLaw, [[Arcadia (Imperial)|Arcadia]], and find the last [[Blade of [[Vaul]] to use against the waking [[Necrons]]. On the planet, he was given the blade by the [[Eldar ]] [[Harlequin]]s following a battle with the [[Prodigal Sons]] of [[Ahzek Ahriman]], and Ahriman himself; Angelos gave the blade to [[Macha ]] upon returning to [[Lorn V]]. With it, Macha destroyed the Necrons completely, but was not heard from or seen afterwardafterwards. Gabriel Angelos then continued his command as [[Master of the Watch|Captain of the Watch]] and met the newly transformed [[Ckrius Qurius]], whom the Blood Ravens had recruited from Tartarus{{Cite This}}. ===The Eldar===Angelos is depicted as having a mysterious bond with the Eldar of Biel-Tan, particularly with Farseer Macha. Despite the condemnation of his fellow commanders, the Inquisition, [[Adepta SororitasTartarus]], and even from his own friend [[Isador Akios]], Gabriel is shown as stubborn in his attempts to assist the Eldar and Macha. The Harlequins of Arcadia refer to him as "Gabriel of the Hidden Heart," and see him as a symbol of hope for the Eldar in the form of a human{{Cite Thiscitethis}}.

Angelos and the ''[[Litany of Fury]]'' were in the distant [[Vorga]] system, completing a great victory over the [[Tau]], when [[Subsector]] [[Aurelia]] was invaded by the [[Tyranid]]s. They arrived in the system in time to join the [[Blood Ravens]]' [[Force Commander]] [[Aramus]] during the climactic battle on [[Typhon Primaris]], when Angelos joined Aramus and his men in defeating the [[Hive Tyrant]] leading the swarm.{{Fn|3}}.

After defeating [[Azariah Kyras]], Angelos's broken body was lifted from the debris by [[Space Marine Captain |Captain]] [[Apollo Diomedes]]. Angelos recovered, with the aid of augmetics [[augmetic]]s to replace his lost legs and eye, and was hailed as the [[Blood Ravens]]' new [[Chapter Master]].{{Fn|3}}^,{{Fn|4}}. Though later for unknown reasons he had the augmetic eye removed and made due without a eye{{Fn|7}}.

On the world of [[Acheron]], the [[Imperium]], [[Orks]], and [[Eldar ]] would all come to blows while fighting over a catastrophic weapon known as the [[Spear of Khaine]]. The [[Blood Ravens ]] under Gabriel Angelos arrived, running an [[Inquisition|Inquisitorial ]] blockade to aid Imperial [[Knight]] forces under Lady [[Solaria]]. During the battle on Acheron, Angelos battled both [[Biel-Tan]] Eldar and [[Gorgutz]]' Orks.{{Fn|7}} After tracking [[Gorgutz]]' forces to the vault containing the [[Spear of Khaine]], Angelos was caught in an [[Inquisition]] [[orbital bombardment]] that intended to destroy the device but instead opened the vault it was sealed in. However, Angelos survived and led an attack on the temple of the Spear of Khaine that overran both the [[Eldar]] and [[Ork]] forces. When they came to the "Spear" they instead found a trap that freed a [[Bloodthirster]] and its [[Daemon]]ic hordes. Desperate, Angelos had the [[Battle Barge]] ''[[The Dauntless]]'' collide with a fissure in [[Acheron]]'s surface to prevent the daemonic infestation from spreading. Angelos was able to teleport to safety before the planet was destroyed.{{Fn|7}}
