==History==
===Great Crusade, Horus Heresy and Destruction of Caliban===He was born in [[Terra]]'s [[Stackhome Hive]] and was one of the earliest members of the '''[[Uncrowned Princes]]''', which was one of the names for the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] before they were reunited with their [[Primarch]]. As such, Zabriel has a long combat history which includes the scouring of the [[Oort Cloud]] while the other Space Marine Legions were still being formed. He also fought the [[Rangda]] in the [[Great Crusade]]'s [[Battle of Advex-Mors]] and was part of [[Lion El'Jonson]]'s forces that rescued the [[Ultramarines]]' garrison on [[Karkasarn]] when its population rebelled. All this saw Zabriel rise to become a Knight in the Second [[Destroyer Marine|Destroyer]] in the second squad of the Dark Angels' [[Chapter|15th Chapter]]'s [[Company|Third Company]]. He was also simultaneously a [[Diacon]] of the [[Order of the Three Keys]] and an Initiate of the [[Dreadwing]] who was once a member of the Legion's [[Host of Bone]]. However, his service to the Dark Angels was essentially ended in the aftermath of the Great Crusade's [[Sarosh]] campaign. Though he could find no reason why he was selected, Zabriel was among the Legion's forces that El'Jonson placed under the command of [[Luther]] and then ordered to garrison the Dark Angels' [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]] [[Caliban]].{{Fn|1a}}  This effectively became a banishment in time and Zabriel was among the [[Dark Angels]] stationed on Caliban who began to resent their Primarch for this. This became doubt in the Lion's loyalty to the [[Imperium]] when the [[Horus Heresy]] began and still the Primarch did not allow Luther's Dark Angels to wage war against [[Horus]]'s forces. Then their [[Primarch]] returned to [[Caliban]] after the [[Siege of Terra]] and Luther ordered his forces to stand ready, as they did not know where the Lion's alliance stood. Then the two sides began firing upon each other, though Zabriel did not know who began the battle{{Fn|1a}}. As the two sides fought on Caliban, he saw his wrathful Primarch strike down those Zabriel had served beside, including [[neophyte]]s who had never even seen the Lion. Shortly afterward, their homeworld was torn apart due to the fighting and Zabriel was cast into the [[Warp]]{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}.  ===Emerging from the Warp===About four hundred years prior to present day events, he emerged into an [[Imperium]] that had degraded from the vision the [[Emperor]] had for it. It was also one where Zabriel was labeled as a member of [[The Fallen]], and he became hunted by the Dark Angels now-[[Chapter]] and the [[Unforgiven]]. Despite this, he continued to serve the Imperium and defended its citizens when he was able to{{Fn|1d}}. Eventually, Zabriel learned he was not alone in this, as he discovered another of the Fallen named [[Sarius]]. It was through him that Zabriel learned of the symbols the Fallen leave to make their presence known to their brethren. However, despite now no longer being alone, Zabriel soon departed to be on his own once more, after tiring of dealing with Sarius's bitterness. He later met another Fallen named [[Priavel]] who was a [[Chaos]] worshiper. Zabriel could not condone this, though, and once more departed from his brethren{{Fn|1f}}. He found no more of the Fallen afterward, and eventually sought safety from the Dark Angels on [[Camarth]].{{Fn|1b}}  The [[Imperial]] world was an outpost of the [[Ruby Crescents]]{{Fn|1c}}, who were a [[Successor Chapter|Successor]] of the [[Blood Angels]]{{Fn|1d}}, and the [[Chapter]] had left a garrison of its forces to defend [[Camarth]]{{Fn|1c}}. It was for this reason Zabriel knew he was now safe, as the [[Dark Angels]] would not risk trying to capture [[The Fallen]] if it meant outsiders would learn of their existence. This allowed Zabriel to hide for some time, until the [[Great Rift]]'s creation shattered the [[Galaxy]] and left [[Camarth]] isolated within the [[Imperium Nihilus]]. The world now stood alone and this later allowed the [[Ten Thousand Eyes]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]] to bring ruin to the world and destroy the Ruby Crescents' garrison. While most of the Warband would depart after the attack, the Ten Thousand Eyes left a sizeable force to hold Camarth. These [[Chaos Space Marines]] would hunt Camarth's surviving population for sport and this led Zabriel to become the protector of a large group of survivors. They soon created a hidden camp for themselves and Zabriel would save the survivors' lives multiple times from both the Ten Thousand Eyes' hunting parties and Camarth's corrupted wildlife.  ===The Lion: Son of the Forest===One day, however, three members of the camp brought back a massive figure who had saved their lives by killing three creatures that were attacking them. This was [[Lion El'Jonson]], and upon seeing his [[Primarch]] Zabriel opened fire. In his mind this was truly his vengeful Father who sought to kill the Fallen or a [[Daemon]] of the [[Warp]]; regardless of this, though, Zabriel swore he would not be easy prey.{{Fn|1b}}  It was his Primarch in the flesh, however, who quickly pinned Zabriel to the ground and disarmed him. In order to save him, the camp's horrified survivors informed the Lion of how Zabriel had been protecting them; this gave the Primarch pause. He would then relent, after Zabriel swore he was still loyal to the Imperium and had only attacked the Primarch's forces on [[Caliban]] because he believed they had struck first. Zabriel would then demand that same oath of loyalty from the Lion. The Lion, upon hearing the explanation of the Great Rift as well as hearing of the remnants of the Ten Thousand Eyes upon Camarth, decided that he would destroy them, asking Zabriel to fight with him. The Fallen agreed, even though he was weary of his Primarch, and Zabriel became the first{{Fn|1b}} of the [[Risen (The Fallen)|Risen]] to serve their Primarch once more{{Fn|1h}}. With the aid of Camarth's surviving population, they were able to kill the remaining Thousand Eyes on the world and once more bring it into the hands of the Imperium. Afterward, the Lion sought to bring more worlds under his protection{{Fn|1e}} while also inviting other loyal Fallen to fight by his side, as long as they had not served with the forces of [[Chaos]]. Zabriel would then act as the Primarch's emissary in this matter and was charged with finding and delivering the Lion's message to his hidden sons.{{Fn|1g}} ==Physical Appearance==
