General Health: Very Healthy, very fit, very active
Deity: Torm
Initial Alignment: Lawful Good
Profession: Paladin of Torm

Gabriel was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a Paladin of Torm. Gabriel's father Uriel had been a paladin from a very young age and he was determined to have his son follow in his footsteps and eventually become a Champion of the church. Gabriel was never as devout as his father would have liked but has served the Church of Torm dutifully and always shown the proper reverance for Torm, and respect for his allied churches.
Gabriel grew up in a good home, but since he was young he was described as a "dark child". He was known for never getting excited beyond a smile which was rare. When training to become a paladin he would often be taunted for his serious disposition, which could cause him to burst into rage; A trait which the trainers and priests were quick to beat out of him. Gabriel learned discipline the hard way; but still when he sees someone slighted, harrassed, bullied, or treated unjustly he gets a glint of anger in his eyes and his hand will instinctively drop to his weapons' hilts or ball up into fists.
He has come to Baldur's Gate to help eradicate the undead which he had heard were plaguing the cemetery.
Goals: To eradicate the undead plague. And find his way in the world. (More to be added as the Character himself develops)
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Gabriel's father died in the service of Torm and while Gabriel has continued to pay the proper reverence to Torm his sees and refers to Torm as "The god of my Father", possibly harboring some disdain over the loss of his admired parent.
Gabriel as developed a reputation for various trysts with the female members of Torm's church during the annual True Resurrection Celebration. Earning him a reputation as a womaniser. His behavior in general has shown him to atleast be a flirt.
Uriel, Gabriel's father had a reputation as an outstanding paladin but also was rumored to have a reputation for 'knowning' many women intimately.
In his home city of Waterdeep Gabriel was member of a cadre of Paladins, Clerics, and Crusaders who hunted down and wiped out Banite cults hiding throughout the city.
Gabriel had joined the Black Carnation Initiative believing they could be a force for good on The Sword Coast. Gabriel realized that the Initiative had a 'human-centric' approach and truly believed that by helping human settlements they could keep the coast safe for all. Gabriel was expelled from the Initiative when the Commissar and leader Evanie Blakes believed him to be comprimised. An investigation is pending but Gabriel has no intention of returning.
Gabriel has begun frequenting taverns, inns, the docks, and other areas looking to establish contacts of both well standing and ill repute. He has let any who inquire to his presence that there is money to be had in brokering information with him...
