Many years later, with an entire [[Space Marine Company|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 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 cleansing of the planet. Accompanying the [[Ordo Malleus]] was a full [[Brotherhood (Grey Knights)|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 [[Psykers]] and free trade with [[Xenos]] 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 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 taken away his own son 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 executed his father.{{Fn|6}}
