He worked hard with his Sire and became centered and followed the life of a Medjai Warrior. Soon after, he became the Lead Hunter for the Vampire Council. He had sought\u00a0Marcus Antonius\u00a0out when the General had come to the Council with his Mate\u00a0Alexander\u00a0seeking his forgiveness. The two men had locked themselves away for a few hours, bringing worry to both Alexander and Imenand. They have never spoken about what they discussed, but the two have been friends since that moment.<\/p>\n<p>The lines of friendship\/forgiveness were also sent to\u00a0Lucius Vorenus\u00a0who was once Julius Caesar\u2019s bodyguard. Though the two respect each other\u2019s positions, they are not friendly with each other.<\/p>\n<p>Cassius had found solace in the arms of\u00a0Nicolaus Valerius Meridius, as the two had a deep relationship that lasted well over a century. Even after the affair had ended, they remained friends for all time. The Hunter had always made sure that Nico was safe in his journeys, and if he were to hear of any actions taken against the Medjai Council Member, he would personally see to his protection.<\/p>\n<p>He had taken the name Gabriel in the 1100\u2019s, out of admiration and respect for the Christian Archangels. Though he had still followed the ways of his gods, he respected the Christian Church.<\/p>\n<p>He had found his Mate in the late 1500\u2019s only to have him ripped form his arms and killed by his mortal enemy Brutus, who had taken the name Vladimir Dracula. Devastated by the loss, he fled for the Medjai only to learn that his friend Nico had felt a similar pain in the loss of one\u2019s Mate. He arrived at St. Michael\u2019s Mount and offered Nico the very thing he wanted himself. Revenge. They were soon met up with Shepsit and the four (since Thomas, Nico\u2019s manservant had refused to be left behind) set out to Hunt down Dracula.<\/p>\n<p>To this day only those four know what happened during that Hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Not soon after he had met a Priest\u00a0Andrew Kiernan\u00a0and learned of a way to earn his Absolution for his crimes and sins from Rome. He had finally found his peace, and only hoped one day for his Mate to return.<\/p>\n<p>In 1754 he was asked by his Sire to travel to the New World to become Nick\u2019s Lead Hunter. He transferred his current position to\u00a0Maximus Decimus Meridius, and moved to New Orleans. He has never regretted his choice for a moment, though Maximus has cursed his name repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>As Lead Hunter he\u2019s been quite busy protecting Nico and his children. Recently he had been working overtime. Between protecting the Manor from\u00a0Richelieu\u00a0and\u00a0Lucius Aurelius Commodus\u00a0he\u2019s found his wife in\u00a0John Constantine\u00a0and the return of Dracula in\u00a0Balthazar.<\/p>\n<p>Not a year later he was facing off with Balthazar again, saving Dean Winchester, which lead him to finding his Mate in the most unlikely of people, John Winchester.<\/p>\n<p>Just when things started to quiet down, Nico was kidnapped by\u00a0Meela Nais\u00a0and a war broke out in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Nico is back in New Orleans, Gabriel has plans to make sure his Clan Leader never leaves the Manor without guards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lead Hunter: Sylum Shepsit Hemet Amun-Ra had seen the two men and their hatred\/love for each other.
