Gabriel Benardin¶
Gabriel Benardin is a "renowned relic hunter and witch slayer" of the Brotherhood of the Sun in the Fifth Age (S319), a woman of thirty-one (S152). She is one of the order's members likely to be met in the field rather than at its headquarters in Ozaustein.
Relic hunter¶
"She is a renown witch slayer and often joins up as a mercenary when relics may be involved. She will take what she can and buy (or steal) the rest" (S152). The Brotherhood keeps the Kalari relics it recovers in its own stores, but Gabriel no longer trusts them with hers: "She has been hoarding objects herself ever since discovering one of the relics she recovered went missing. A particularly strong piece" (S152).
Suspicion of the Lantern¶
The stores are the charge of the Mistress of the Lantern, Amfrie Rahal. "Amfrie told her it had been transferred to a different location, but she checked there too and it was gone. Gabriel has requested Gerart investigate Amfrie and Gerart is considering the matter" (S152), Gerart being the Grand Master of the Sun, Gerart Hyacynthe. Gabriel is right to be suspicious: Amfrie is an agent of the Eldritch Allannia Vaj'zaelin, and the order is infiltrated by Eldritch agents hunting soul anchors (S147, S152).
Gap
The sources give nothing of Gabriel's origin, appearance, or the relics she holds.
