The Sentimonster Gabriel Agreste is the titular secondary antagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir’s episode Gabriel Agreste. He is a Sentimonster clone of Gabriel Agreste/Shadow Moth, created by him to provoke his nephew, Félix Fathom, into being Akumatized, while also preventing him from finding out his secret identity. After this attempt fails, Shadow Moth Akumatizes the Sentimonster into The Collector, sending him to find out Félix's secrets.
Like the original Gabriel Agreste, he was voiced by Antoine Tomé in the French dub (who also voiced Mizo in Jak X and Gleeman Vox in Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked) and by Keith Silverstein in English (who also voiced Captain Gantu in the Stitch! anime, Hammerhead in Marvel's Spider-Man, Dr. Wily in Mega Man 11, Hisoka Morow in Hunter X Hunter, Masayoshi Shido in Persona 5, HUNK in the Resident Evil series, Chairman Rose in Pokémon: Twilight Wings, and the Cat Mask Seller in A Whisker Away).
Biography[]
In "Gabriel Agreste", Gabriel lures his nephew Félix back to Paris in an attempt to reclaim his wedding ring (which Félix had previously stolen in "Félix"), and becomes enraged when Félix attempts to fool him with a fake ring. Gabriel laments on being unable to Akumatize Félix and reclaim the ring without exposing his secret identity; however, Nathalie reminds him that he can appear to be in two places with his new powers. Inspired, Gabriel transforms into Shadow Moth and uses the Peacock Miraculous to create a Sentimonster duplicate of himself to fool Felix.
The Sentimonster Gabriel catches Félix as he is snooping around his atelier, and demands to know where the real ring is. Félix refuses to reveal its location, and accuses Gabriel of being Shadow Moth. Gabriel denies this and threatens to destroy Félix's life, making him feel distressed. Sensing this, Shadow Moth attempts to Akumatize Félix, offering him the power to escape Gabriel, and proclaiming that he and Gabriel have no connection. Félix resists the offer and runs away, making a tear on Gabriel's pants as he escapes. Advised by Nathalie, Gabriel seizes the opportunity to akumatize the Sentimonster into The Collector, with the new ability to capture people in his tablet and force them to reveal their secrets.
Collector emerges from the atelier and immediately begins his rampage by attacking Chloé Bourgeois, Bob Roth and Marinette. It captures Chloé and Roth—forcing them to reveal their respective secrets of being a mean person and a plagiarist—while Marinette escapes. Kagami, Sarah and Adrien's bodyguard attempt to fend Collector off, but he easily captures them as well and pursues Félix outside. Marinette and Adrien transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir to battle Collector, and move Félix to safety. Collector quickly redirects its attention to the heroes and attacks them, absorbing statues and buildings into his tablet.
Despite this, Ladybug and Cat Noir are able to distract Collector by flinging plates at him, and use Ladybug's Lucy Charm, a trampoline, and Cat Noir's staff to force the tablet out of his hands. Ladybug destroys the tablet and de-Akumatizes the Sentimonster, returning him to normal. Shadow Moth begins speaking through the Sentimonster Gabriel and apologizes to the heroes, claiming that he was made vulnerable by the memory of his wife. Ladybug then gives Gabriel a Magical Charm to prevent him from being akumatized, which he delightedly accepts.
Afterwards, the Sentimonster Gabriel returns to Shadow Moth and gives him the Magical Charm. Seeing that the Sentimonster no longer serves a purpose, Shadow Moth releases it from existence, and schemes to develop new abilities the same way that Ladybug had. As Félix begins to leave the Agreste mansion, he notices that Gabriel doesn't have the tear he made on Sentimonster Gabriel's pants, reigniting his suspicions about Gabriel being Shadow Moth.
In "Dearest Family", although Sentimonster Gabriel doesn't appear, the effects of his actions are felt as Gabriel begins experimenting with his powers, developing more powerful Akumas called "Megakumas" capable of destroying Ladybug's Magical Charms.
Powers and Abilities[]

As a copy of Gabriel Agreste, the Sentimonster Gabriel is able to perfectly imitate his creator, and presumably has the same memories as well. As The Collector, it is incredibly agile, able to keep up with both Ladybug and Cat Noir. Similarly to the original Collector, he can throw his tablet at long distances, after which it will return to his hand—anything touched by the tablet will be absorbed, no matter how large it is. Unlike the original Collector, he has the power to force his victims to reveal their secrets; they will appear as a video on the tablet and immediately tell Collector about their secrets, which he can choose to watch or not.
Trivia[]
- Sentimonster Gabriel is the second Sentimonster to be akumatized, following the Dormant Sentimonster.
- After the Sentimonster Ladybug, he is the second Sentimonster to be based on a person; followed by Senti-Alec, Senti-Nino, and Sentibubbler.
- Although he is destroyed by Shadow Moth, Sentimonster Gabriel's actions have major ramifications for the rest of the series, as him receiving one of Ladybug's Magical Charms would result in Shadow Moth learning how to destroy them. He would also unintentionally help cement Félix's suspicions about Shadow Moth.
