* [[Back From the Dead]]: Danyael

* [[Badass Boast]]:

{{quote|'''Gabriel''': (''to Catherine'') 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. And from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence...is never understanding ''why''.}}

Line 69:

* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: Danyael

* [[I Never Told You My Name]]: When questioned how he knew Thomas's name, Gabriel dismissively tells him "You look like a Thomas."

* [[In Joke]]: There are multiple religious in jokes with varying levels of subtlety. When Simon is told that the girl he's abot to hid Hawthorne's ould inside is named Mary, he whispers "Of course." Then you have slightly less obvious like Thomas, the priest who lost his faith being named after the Apostle who didn't believe Jesus had come back to life, or how in the Bible Gabriel had the power to make people fall down in shock with his mere presence, and also helped the prophet ''Daniel'' with his visions of apocalypse.
