01Basic information
02Appearance
Agent Gabriel is a large man with a robust physique reminiscent of an NFL player. He has white skin and blue eyes. His bulging muscles are concealed by a high-quality suit. Gabriel's expression is often stone-faced and Rohan perceives him as being someone that can overshadow even the largest of boulders.↗↗
03Personality
Gabriel is a polite, quiet man whose calm presence could make one feel like they are being safeguarded against some unseen danger. Rohan initially considers him strange due to his secrecy and bizarre behavior of traveling all the way from America to Japan for commissioning an expensive sketch. He appears stoic and speaks monotonously; his expression rarely changes aside from when he shows surprise upon seeing Rohan's spaghettified pen. He is patient and doesn't feel intimidated from Rohan piercingly looking at him.↗
Gabriel is trustworthy and has a strong desire to protect others from supernatural creatures. He is truly concerned for Rohan's safety after failing to protect others from Spaghetti Man and advises him not to be reckless.↗↗
04Story
SPOILERS
Background
Agent Gabriel is a member of the Speedwagon Foundation 's Paranormal Investigations Department. He and his coworkers leak details they discovered about the Spaghetti Man on Chan 's forum so that users on the forum could be of assistance with their investigation. The Foundation receives intelligence of Rohan Kishibe becoming Spaghetti Man's next target, so they prepare a task force to protect him. When Rohan encounters Spaghetti Man, Gabriel continuously calls his phone with no caller ID.↗
After Rohan successfully manages to escape from Spaghetti Man's attack, Gabriel calls him once more before Rohan loses consciousness. The Speedwagon Foundation's task force presumably takes him to a hospital for his injuries.↗
Later, Gabriel manages to contact Rohan for a commission and they meet at a café a week after that to discuss the terms.↗↗
Blackstar.
Sitting at the café, Rohan draws meaningless lines in his sketchbook with Gabriel watching. Rohan describes how humans have a psychological tendency to find something meaningful in an irregular pattern of dots and lines. Whenever Rohan draws manga, he always questions if his lines have any meaning because things without meaning have no reality. Gabriel acknowledges Rohan's claim but rebuts that this rule doesn't apply in all cases, and sometimes people see things that they shouldn't.↗
Rohan acknowledges Gabriel's guts for coming all the way from America to Japan for a simple commission, but remarks that it wasn't a compliment after Gabriel thanks him. Apologizing, Gabriel deeply bows his head. Rohan is suspicious of the extraordinarily high commission fee, but Gabriel claims that the Foundation determined that Rohan's sketch is worth exactly $500,000, because he is the only person in the world who can draw a portrait of Spaghetti Man.↗
After hearing the story, Gabriel divulges his true identity to Rohan, showing him another business card with the Speedwagon Foundation's exact name and the division he works for. Rohan is not interested in the money and asks for their information in exchange. Gabriel asks Rohan if he's familiar with the superstring theory in astrophysics. The theory concludes that spacetime has ten dimensions.↗
Gabriel warns Rohan not to make his next story about the Spaghetti Man since he already escaped its pursuit once and shouldn't attract its attention again. Rohan declares that he's still a manga artist and would draw what he wants. He draws a new image of Spaghetti Man in his sketchbook, tears out the page, and gives it to Gabriel before leaving.↗↗
