Gavriel is a Fae and cares for those around him deeply, especially Rowan Whitehorn, his closest and oldest friend, and Rowan's mate and wife Aelin. He cares so much that he has the names of his fallen men tattooed on his skin. Gavriel is described as a tall, broad-shouldered male, well-muscled yet lithe. He has a kind, content-looking face of lovely features with tawny-orange eyes and golden hair cropped just below the neck. He is heavily tattooed encircling his neck and torso's left side, ribs.
