Formerly a member of Luna's faction of Ascendants until his betrayal and then assassination by Alpha, Gabriel was originally a corrupted pure machine that was able to connect to the Ascension Network. He offered cult-like devotion to the advancement of the Ascension Network's goals in exchange for his ascension. His research eventually led to the creation of the Red Tide, a pseudobiological adaptation of the Punishing Virus capable of mocking human life.
