Gabriel Archer

"You may be older than me but I am stronger than you."

- Gabriel to Caesar in book one Nexus

Gabriel is the youngest of all of Magnus' children, he is a kruv vampire and holds a seat at the high table for The Oracle Company.

Early Life
After Valentine's mass event that wiped out almost an entire town, Lamia took a sudden interest in Magnus' children. She was too late to interfere with his other four but she was able to track down Gabriel when he was still inside of his mother's womb. Upon finding her Lamia then realised that this child was a carrier of her old dormant heron gene, a gene that she thought had been completely wiped out of the population. So as Gabriel was growing up, Lamia kept a close eye on him to make sure that this child made it into adulthood. Upon Gabriel turning 21 she forced him to consume human blood and then knocked him out while she burnt him and his adoptive family in a house fire triggering his change into a kruv vampire.

When he finally died in his bed she took him away into the cold sea and tossed him into the English Channel while he completed his transition. Magnus had been made aware of what Lamia was doing through Valentine who was in contact with Svala and she was very nearly successful in taking him and making him into one of her disciples.

Magnus and his two older children Valentine and Cecile stopped that from happening, ever since then they have been lacing Gabriel with spells that hide him from her, to keep him from her grasp. Magnus and his other sons do not know what Lamia's fascination with Gabriel is but they still maintain a constant watch and vigilance over him.
