Gabriel (The Prophecy)

"I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls. From now 'til Kingdom Come, the only thing you can count on in your entire existence is never understanding why."

- Gabriel

Gabriel is the main antagonist of the first two films of The Prophecy series. He is the angel of death, vengeance and revelation, as well as one of heaven's elite archangels. Gabriel was a fallen angel who resented humanity for being the object of God's love.

He was portrayed by Christopher Walken.
