Silver is almost like his kryptonite in that it will slowly drain him of his powers if he comes into very close proximity to it. Since his powers stem from the God and the seven virtues, if Gabriel succumbs to one of the seven deadly sins then his powers will become weaker.

Psychological Profile: Gabriel is very honest and well-mannered, humility is among one of his most prominent characteristic. He is very loyal to his faith, friends and church.

Like with many born under the Virgo sign, he is very analytical, thoughtful and very good at observing situations around him. He can seem cold to those who do not know him very well, but he does have a heart and feelings, but chooses to show it those closest to him. He is very kind to those in need and will try to help them as much as he can. His sense of helping those less fortunate became even stronger when his powers began to manifest themselves. Growing up catholic made him have the catholic mentality of not always enjoying the things he is given because of those less fortunate in the world.

Gabriel in his younger years formed a very close bond, and when Caitlin was too sick to leave her bed, he read stories to her to make her happy. The times when she was well enough to be out of bed, they played together for as long as they could. When he was twelve, his sister seemed to be getting better and Gabriel hoped that a miracle had happened giving his sister back her life. But two months later on the Monday after thanksgiving, her health declined, and soon you she was on her deathbed.

When he entered the church, the owner of the voice made himself visible and it was Saint Michael the Archangel. Gabriel fell to his knees in complete shock and sent a prayer to God. Saint Michael told to rise and spoke to Gabriel, telling him why had come to him. He told him that he was chosen by God to become one of guardian saints of the world and take name of the saint to serve as a protector of the people against evil. Gabriel couldn't speak and Saint Michael reached out his hand and placed it on Gabriel's forehead. The angel began to glow and he instructed Gabriel on how to transform into him. Then the archangel disappeared in a flash bright light. Gabriel was shocked for several moments, and he wondered if what he had seen really happened. He spoke the words in Latin and almost immediately he transformed into St Michael and felt the incredible powers that God blessed him with. Gabriel from then on became a fighter for the people against the forces of evil. He then went to Vatican and swore his loyalty to the Catholic Church before the pope.
