Gabriel

Gabriel is a neopagan tourist from the Mantically Aware United States in the town of Wunderberg during the events of King in the Mountain.

Traits
Gabriel is a tall Latino-American university student from San Francisco. He is a worshipper of the Horned One and has made a pilgrimage to spend the winter solstice on the Wunderberg with five of his neopagan friends. He is cute enough for Charlotte to remember his name over those of his other friends.

Chronology
Gabriel is one of the college students that Charlotte socialises with during the calm before the storm in King in the Mountain. He seems to share the opinions of his companions that the Mantically Aware United States is "‘pretty cool, when it isn’t too busy absolutely sucking", and that the current President is "real stuffy and way too committed to the status quo but surprisingly OK for an old white dude" adding that he's "definitely way better than your guy, no offence".

Gabriel is next seen hiding from the Krampus attack in the local church alongside most of the Wunderberg townsfolk. Charlotte remembers his name because he is cute enough for it to lodge in her brain after a single meeting. He explains that Niki Hacklebaron, the town's resident researcher and mountain expert, had sent messages to everyone in town to get to the church for safety but adds that he doesn't know her current whereabouts. When Mediochre mentions that he is going to try to reach to Niki's lab, Gabriel is doubtful that a fifteen-year-old kid could pull it off, and Mediochre is a bit put out that none of the neopagan students have heard of him. Gabriel and his companions explain that the only other missing townsperson is their companion Maggie.

After the Krampus fight, Gabriel decides to stay in Wunderberg, alongside the rest of the students, until after the winter solstice, sticking to their original travel plans in order to "reassure the Horned One" that some of his worshipers "know how to do a pagan ritual without ending up trying to murder anyone."

Trivia

 * Gabriel appears in the spinoff King in the Mountain, which is set during Krampusnacht and therefore, advent. This is also when the angel Gabriel supposedly appeared to Mary in the Bible. This does not seem thematically relevant.

Fan Theories

 * In Sent Into Mediochre-Drive, Charlotte mentions that she has a habit of dating characters that turn out to be evil. She never dates Gabriel, but she does find him cute enough to remember his name after a single meeting, leading some fans to speculate that Gabriel might be secretly evil.
