His first great test came when he met Claudia, an innocent young psychic and her enchanted guardian, the Black Knight Golem, who briefly aided him in his journey. Both Pan and Zobek desired an end to their tyrannical rule, but for very different reasons. Next, he met a supposed comrade of the order, Zobek, who instructed Gabriel to destroy the Lords of Shadow, the rulers of the demonic forces now driving mankind into extinction. He met an old god, Pan, who allowed him to communicate with Marie who, throughout his journey, aided Gabriel in times of peril. Taking up the weapon forged by Rinaldo Gandolfi for him, the first and greatest Combat Cross that would later be known as the Vampire Killer and an amulet connected to the old gods, Gabriel begins his journey. After receiving a message from the three founders of their order in heaven, the Brotherhood sent Gabriel to contact the dead and ask Marie if she knew of any means to save the world. Sometime after Marie's death, the heavens were cut off from the earthly plane, thus leading the people to believe that God had abandoned them. While Gabriel was on this mission for the Brotherhood, Marie gave birth to his son named Trevor, but knowing of Gabriel's eventual descent into darkness, decided to leave the child in the hands of the Brotherhood and to hide the birth from Gabriel. Injured by the beast, he used his blood and a magical device to lock it away.


In 1046, Gabriel was sent by the order to capture a dangerous creature called the Daemon Lord. Gabriel took the surname of Belmont, after his love of mountains and the high places of the World.

The two youngsters were made for one another they grew together and soon started to make promises of their future, promises that were always kept. However, he was also prone to dark moods and moments of brooding that only his beloved childhood sweetheart, Marie, could pacify. The precocious child quickly proved to be extremely talented, developing a mastery of the fighting arts unprecedented in the Brotherhood. The order gave the nameless boy the Christian name of one of the blessed archangels, Gabriel, and raised him as one of its own members. It is not known who his original parents were though some suspected he was an unwanted bastard from a local wealthy landowner, most likely the Cronqvist family, though this has never been proven.

Some years ago, a child was found on the door of one of the Brotherhood of Light convents.
