Gabriel

Gabriel, known on Earth as Yu YongHan, is a former Great Archangel, the concealed founder of the Garden of Sunset, and Yu IlHan’s father. Born with foreknowledge while still a lower existence, he uses the future to expose God’s plan, organize the first rebellion, and later arrange the conditions under which his son can confront the false creator. His gift never makes events certain, however, and his attempt to control variables repeatedly harms the family he is trying to protect.

Biography

A prophet who trusted Heaven

Before the rebellion, Gabriel believes that God rules the worlds benevolently and gives his foreknowledge a useful purpose. His gift shows possible futures, but he initially ignores the unease at their edges because life in Heaven is stable and meaningful. Satan, then Lucifer, forces the question by isolating them from divine observation and giving Gabriel an object that repels mana. From that protected position, Gabriel finally sees the future God had hidden: the destruction of existing mana and worlds so their ruler can attempt to become a true creator. (Chapters 344, 375–376)

The vision breaks Gabriel’s faith and turns his innate mission toward rebellion. He uses foreknowledge to choose the time and place where God is most vulnerable and concealment to hide the conspirators’ approach. Lucifer disrupts divine control, Michael expropriates authority, Uriel and Raphael supply attack and recovery, and Gabriel waits for the decisive opening. Concealing himself, he pierces God’s limbs and binds them with magical nails so Michael can strike the heart. (Chapter 344; Chapter 376)

The execution fails. God escapes, the stolen records destabilize the rebels, and Gabriel realizes that the future he followed was only the start of a much longer struggle. His title changes from Messenger of God to one centered on prediction. When Lucifer leaves and Michael begins rebuilding Heaven around his own rigid justice, Gabriel sees another disastrous future: the old ruler will return through the records still attached to his former servants. He responds by learning to hide those records and preparing an organization of his own. (Chapter 344; Chapter 376)

The Garden hidden behind sunset

Gabriel creates the Garden of Sunset while publicly remaining one of Heaven’s Great Archangels. The faction’s unclear motives are intentional. Concealment hides not just its members but the identity of its leader, allowing Gabriel to use one organization’s authority while appearing to serve another. The Garden manipulates worlds, halted time, and developing individuals according to futures he believes will produce a confronter capable of finishing the failed rebellion. (Chapters 318–320, 376)

His goals are both cosmic and personal: remove variables around the brightest new transcender, preserve as many lives as possible, and protect the family he has foreseen but not yet formed. Those purposes often conflict. The Garden sends Kim YeSeul into a stopped world where she gains extraordinary power but endures immeasurable isolation; its followers influence Dareu and the birth of Yumir; its actions place IlHan in repeated danger while also providing the conditions for his growth. Gabriel accepts suffering as preferable to the deaths he believes alternate futures contain. (Chapters 318–320)

Foreknowledge does not make that calculation safe. Gabriel admits that many events fail to proceed as intended and that his wife and son suffer because he treats a predicted result as guidance he must realize. The Garden itself becomes a variable no other faction can read, and some sacrifices occur outside the future he wanted. His strategy saves lives, but the later revelation does not excuse the people whose choices he constrained to reach it. (Chapters 318–320, 376)

Yu YongHan and the family in the prophecy

Gabriel descends to Earth and lives as Yu YongHan, entering college as an apparently ordinary young man. He already knows that he will love YeSeul, which initially makes him doubt whether his feelings can be genuine. Her directness teaches him a limit foreknowledge cannot solve: knowing that happiness may occur is not the same as living honestly enough to accept it. He stops treating every interaction as preparation, returns her affection, marries her, and becomes part of a human family. (Chapter 377)

When IlHan is born, YongHan’s love and prophecy become dangerously entangled. He chooses his son’s name in relation to the “only one” he expects to stand at the center of the future, then quietly places mechanisms around the evolving Earth so IlHan will acquire the records needed for that role. At the same time, the ordinary marriage is not merely a disguise. YeSeul’s parents accept him as a son without knowing the age or burden he carries, and he resolves to protect people whose trust he believes he does not deserve. (Chapter 377)

In the main timeline, YongHan appears to be the low-presence father who returns with humanity and later works around Vanguard. His concealment is so complete that even IlHan does not initially recognize a higher existence. When humanity is scattered again, the son who can find almost anyone cannot locate him, gradually turning an old family joke about faint presence into evidence of a hidden identity. (Chapters 5, 32, 142–176, 257)

Father and faction leader revealed

IlHan eventually connects Gabriel’s unique foreknowledge, the Garden’s concealment, and his missing father. At Heishia, he strips away the hiding place and finds one person occupying three roles: Yu YongHan, Great Archangel Gabriel, and leader of the Garden of Sunset. Gabriel does not deny the damage his plans caused. He explains that his goal included protecting his family, apologizes, and accepts IlHan’s judgment that the methods were wrong. (Chapters 316–320)

The reunion changes the balance between prediction and agency. Gabriel has foreseen IlHan as the confronter of God, but his son has grown through experiences the prophecy did not specify and now acts beyond its visible endpoint. Rather than meekly following a designed role, IlHan builds Dragon’s Nest, fuses worlds, and develops artifacts Gabriel cannot fully analyze. Gabriel’s certainty becomes confidence in a person whose final path he cannot see. (Chapters 318–321)

He also reunites with YeSeul and faces the consequences of excluding her from the truth. Her anger is immediate and physical, while his reserved willingness to accept punishment provides little emotional relief. Yet both continue protecting their son and the people around him. Gabriel’s family plan survives only by becoming a relationship in which the people he tried to arrange can answer back. (Chapter 320)

Crevasse Garden and the false death

As Harmageddon opens, Gabriel takes responsibility for the Crevasse Garden against Legnae and the Army of Brilliant Light. His concealment and faction authority let him erase large groups and prolong a closed battle, but Satan remains a peer who can attack with records. Their duel produces injuries ordinary recovery cannot mend. When Satan announces Gabriel’s death, refuses to provide a corpse, and tells God that the prophet has hidden it, the deception preserves Gabriel outside the false creator’s immediate reach. (Chapters 328–332)

The staged defeat reflects an old partnership. Satan believes every holder of divine fragments must die so God can be killed permanently, while Gabriel continues seeking a future with fewer sacrifices. They are willing to perform a real, damaging fight so their former master cannot distinguish cooperation from hatred. Gabriel’s concealment makes the body and record disappear from the expected outcome; Satan’s theatrical betrayal makes that absence plausible. (Chapters 332, 344–347)

IlHan rejects both the divine bond and the sacrificial solution. He finds Gabriel, brings him into Dragon’s Nest, and transforms him into a ninth-class dragon before killing God. The new record severs the premise that Gabriel must die simply because God once named and empowered him. Gabriel survives to see a future his own plan could begin but not fully predict. (Chapters 346–348)

A future he chooses to live

After the war, Gabriel remains with YeSeul and no longer needs to divide family life from faction leadership. He also finally accepts Uriel, the companion who loved him across the ages of Heaven and repeatedly endured his departures. His relationship with YeSeul gave him a human understanding of affection that helps him recognize what he had previously avoided with Uriel. (Extra Chapters 1–3; Chapters 359, 377)

Gabriel and Uriel later have a daughter, Yu Isu. The development matters because the prophet who once shaped his first child around a cosmic confrontation can now raise another after that ordained future has ended. His latest life is not free of the history he manipulated, but it is no longer organized solely around preventing a predicted catastrophe. (Chapter 359)

Appearance and personality

Gabriel’s angelic form has three pairs of feathered wings and an immense amount of mana that he normally hides. Suppressing that form, he appears as a human man in roughly his mid-thirties. On Earth his face and presence are easy to overlook, an outward joke that conceals one of the setting’s most advanced powers. (Chapters 318–320, 375–377)

He is reserved, patient, and self-effacing to the point of frustration. Gabriel carries plans alone, apologizes without defending himself, and often treats personal hurt as an acceptable cost if it prevents a death he has seen. That endurance supports long strategy, but it also makes him paternalistic: he can confuse protecting another person with deciding what they must endure. (Chapters 318–320, 376–377)

His romantic awareness is similarly delayed. He can read catastrophic futures but struggles to recognize or answer affection in the present, especially Uriel’s. YeSeul’s insistence on ordinary meals, conversation, and honest choice teaches him that prediction does not replace attention. (Chapters 320, 377)

Abilities and classes

Gabriel is a born prophet who advances into a Great Archangel, secretly governs the Garden of Sunset, and ultimately becomes a ninth-class dragon of Dragon’s Nest. His major abilities—foreknowledge and concealment—are unusual even among faction leaders and work together: one identifies a future position, while the other removes people and records from observation until they can reach it. Both are powerful but incomplete, and IlHan repeatedly demonstrates outcomes beyond their scope. (Chapters 316–320, 328–348)

Foreknowledge

Gabriel acquires foreknowledge naturally while still a lower existence; it is not a gift God grants after naming him. The ability presents future events and possible trajectories, allowing him to identify dangers hidden from ordinary perception, choose favorable timing, and recognize individuals central to later change. It is the foundation of both rebellions: first he locates the opening in which the five angels can attack God, then he sees Earth and IlHan as the route to a permanent confrontation. (Chapters 318, 344, 375–377)

The gift is not omniscience. Gabriel can receive vague anxiety without understanding it, and a future may become clear only when evidence or another power removes interference. God hides his destructive intention until Lucifer creates a gray space and supplies mana-negating proof. Later, IlHan’s unprecedented choices move beyond the endpoint Gabriel can observe. The prophet can plan toward a vision, but cannot guarantee every intermediate event or explain the ultimate result. (Chapters 318–320, 375–376)

Foreknowledge also creates an ethical limitation. Gabriel is tempted to treat a seen outcome as the future others should be guided into, leading him to expose his family to ordeals they never chose. YeSeul’s influence and IlHan’s anger force him to recognize that correct prediction does not make every method correct. By the final war, his most mature use is not control but trust in a son whose destination he can no longer see. (Chapters 318–320, 377)

Concealment and hidden records

Gabriel’s concealment suppresses presence, identity, mana, affiliation, and records. He can appear as the ordinary Yu YongHan, hide leadership of a higher-existence faction while serving Heaven, and remove himself or allies from observation at decisive moments. Uriel’s search and IlHan’s own experience show that this is more than visual invisibility; ordinary record-based tracking cannot simply recover what he has concealed. (Chapters 257, 318–320)

In combat, he uses concealment to approach God unnoticed and bind his limbs at the first rebellion’s decisive instant. During Harmageddon, it hides his supposedly dead body from God after the duel with Satan. It also supports the Garden of Sunset as an organization whose ruler and purpose remain unreadable to rival factions. (Chapters 332, 344, 376)

The power has limits and counters. IlHan develops a realm of concealment that can expose falsehood and eventually finds Gabriel; powerful record interactions can also reveal that something is missing even when they cannot locate it. Concealment prevents observation, not consequences: the Garden’s interventions still create traces in worlds and lives, and hiding the truth from YeSeul does not remove her anger when it is disclosed. (Chapters 318–320)

Garden of Sunset authority

As the Garden’s founder, Gabriel hides records inherited from God and creates a separate higher-existence organization. Its worlds and members provide factional mana and reach, while the Crevasse Garden functions as the main stronghold. He can coordinate distant agents, isolate battlefields, and erase or restrain forces below his league through the Garden’s accumulated power. (Chapters 318–321, 328–332)

Like other faction lords, he depends on territory and records rather than possessing an entirely self-contained reserve. Closed worlds and altered time let him prolong defense, but peers such as Satan can meet him at record level. The Garden’s greatest advantage is secrecy, not guaranteed superiority. (Chapters 328–333)

Angelic combat and binding

Gabriel is described as less physically dominant than Lucifer or Michael, but he is still one of the original Great Archangels. He releases enough energy to erase groups of Legnae and can form magical nails that pierce and bind the limbs of a weakened transcender. His combat method favors timing: conceal the attack, wait for allies to exhaust resistance, and apply restraint at the moment it changes the entire battle. (Chapters 332, 344, 376)

At faction-leader level he can stake records on attacks, creating wounds normal healing cannot resolve. This raises his effective threat but also the risk to himself; his duel with Satan leaves both damaged, and the announced victory is staged rather than evidence that Gabriel can freely defeat his former ally. (Chapter 332)

Ninth-class dragon

IlHan’s late transformation rebirths Gabriel within Dragon’s Nest as a ninth-class dragon. The change replaces the divine affiliation that connected him to God and allows him to survive the final execution. It also represents an enormous class state: Gabriel remains one of the strongest surviving beings after the old factions collapse. (Chapters 346–348)

The corpus does not provide a detailed list of new dragon skills or demonstrate that rebirth removes the limitations of foreknowledge. His latest established state combines the new dragon record with the prophet and concealment abilities he developed before it. (Chapter 348; Chapter 359)

Power progression

Relationships

• Yu IlHan: Gabriel’s son and the transcender around whom his longest plan is built. He loves IlHan, but his attempt to shape the predicted path creates suffering and a confrontation over whether protection permits manipulation.
• Kim YeSeul: His first wife and the human relationship that teaches him to live in the present. He conceals his identity and plan from her for too long, making their reunion loving but furious.
• Uriel: His ancient ally and eventual wife. Gabriel relies on her through the first rebellion but spends ages failing to answer her affection until the postwar world.
• Satan: Fellow original rebel, friend, and staged enemy. Satan creates the first opening for Gabriel’s prophecy and later helps hide his survival from God.
• God: Former master whose hidden future Gabriel exposes. God’s named record remains attached to Gabriel until Dragon’s Nest replaces it.

Items

Gabriel has no separately catalogued signature item. Lucifer’s mana-repelling fragment helps him perceive God’s concealed plan during the first rebellion, but it is temporary evidence rather than Gabriel’s equipment. His defining resources are foreknowledge, concealment, the Crevasse Garden, and finally his Dragon’s Nest body. (Chapters 375–376)
