Yes, but when was the last time Gabriel gave a shit about what anyone else said?

Quite frankly, if anyone could evade the Council and lead them on a merry goose chase, it's Gabriel.

And Kami and the Purge will most definitely be making a grand appearance. I'm thinking of making one, final attempt at getting SOLDIER to cooperate now that the vampires are literally raping and pillaging in the countryside, and then have the Purge move in. Got some new anti-vamp tactics I'd like to try out.
