Special abilities
Father Gabriel Torres is a vessel for The Choir, an enigmatic entity that bestows upon him a series of supernatural powers rooted in the celestial realm. These abilities are both awe-inspiring and nightmarish, reminiscent of the biblical depictions of angels, which are far from the conventional, comforting images often portrayed.
The most striking of Gabriel's powers is his ability to undergo a grotesque metamorphosis, allowing The Choir to emerge from within him. This transformation is a sight and a terror to behold, as his body contorts and twists into an otherworldly form, with multiple wings of shimmering, iridescent feathers extending from his back. His face takes on an eerie, mask-like quality, and his voice resonates with a haunting, ethereal echo.
One of the angelic aspects of Gabriel's powers is his ability to channel The Choir's divine energy to heal wounds and ailments. He can mend broken bones, cure illnesses, and even soothe the tormented souls of the afflicted. This power is a testament to the angelic aspect of The Choir, offering solace and hope to those in need.
Gabriel possesses a unique affinity for exorcising malevolent entities and demons. With a touch or a spoken prayer, he can banish dark spirits and cast out demonic forces. This power reflects the inherent purity of The Choir and its relentless dedication to combating evil in all its forms.
At times, Gabriel experiences visions and insights into the celestial realm, offering glimpses of otherworldly knowledge and wisdom. These visions often come to him in dreams or moments of deep meditation, providing guidance and understanding of the supernatural threats he faces.
While these powers may seem divine in nature, they come at a cost. The transformation into The Choir's angelic form is not without pain and a lingering sense of otherness. Gabriel grapples with the duality of his existence, torn between his human identity as a priest and the eldritch presence within him.

Personal history
Gabriel Torres was born into a world shrouded in fanaticism and darkness. From a young age, he was entangled in the web of a radical Christian sect known as "The Callers," which believed in summoning angels through a ritualistic human sacrifice. Gabriel's family, devout members of this sect, willingly offered him as a vessel for their twisted beliefs. The ritual, known as "The Calling of the Seraphim," was intended to draw the attention of celestial beings. However, it would yield an outcome that no one could have foreseen.
As Gabriel's young body endured the harrowing ritual, it became a conduit for a mysterious entity that referred to itself as "The Choir." Instead of an angelic savior, The Choir's essence took residence within Gabriel. His physical form contorted and morphed as the entity merged with his being, imbuing him with otherworldly powers. This transformation was both awe-inspiring and grotesque, leaving the members of The Seraphim in shock and terror.
Branded as an abomination by the very sect that had summoned The Choir, Gabriel was exiled from his community. The Seraphim's leaders feared the consequences of their failed ritual and saw Gabriel as a dangerous anomaly. The young man was left to fend for himself, grappling with the haunting presence of The Choir and its unsettling powers.
Desperate to escape the darkness that had consumed his life, Gabriel turned to the Catholic Church for solace and refuge. The rituals, doctrines, and structure of the Church provided a semblance of normalcy and purpose in his turbulent existence. He embarked on a path toward becoming a priest, hoping that the sacred rites and devotion to God would help him control The Choir's influence.
Gabriel's life took an unexpected turn when he crossed paths with a mysterious woman going by the Huntress. She revealed to him a hidden world of supernatural threats and a new purpose for his extraordinary abilities. The Huntress, with her expertise in hunting down supernatural creatures, recognized the potential in Gabriel to be a formidable force against the darkness they both faced.
Embracing this newfound calling, Gabriel joined forces with The Huntress and another powerful ally known as the Cyberwitch. Together, they formed an unlikely team of supernatural protectors. The trio was dedicated to fighting evil, whether it emerged from the depths of the supernatural or the darkness within humanity.
Despite his commitment to his mission, Gabriel's journey is marked by an ongoing struggle. He battles not only external supernatural threats but also the inner demons that have haunted him since that fateful ritual. His powers, while a gift, are a constant reminder of his traumatic past, and he often wrestles with doubt and inner conflict.
