Timeline

1978:

Born in Craine, Megalos, to wealthy aristocratic parents who were secretly Assassins descended from Italian Banestorm refugees. Birth name is Gabriel of House Auditore. He is the third son.

1980 (2):

Baby sister, Claudia, is born.

1988 (10):

Participates in his first assassination where he is used as a decoy. At the time, he thinks this is an awesome game cause he isn’t truly aware of what his family does.

1990 (12):

Eldest brother is killed while on a mission. It will later be revealed that said brother was captured and thoroughly interrogated.

1992 (14):

House Auditore is targeted for extermination by some of their victims. Only Gabriel and his father, Claudius, manage to survive and escape, although the elder Auditore is badly injured and will never fully recover. They flee west into Caithness, specifically Durham. The events of Banestorm: Lingering Wounds

1994 (16):

Claudius finally succumbs to his injuries after having extracted from Gabriel a vow to not seek revenge upon the nobles who targeted the Auditores. The events of Banestorm: Widow's Kiss. As soon as his father is laid to rest, Gabriel heads east, vengeance in his heart. For the next four years, he will haunt the western cities of Megalos, targeting select individuals whom he knows to have been part of the grand conspiracy. He uses Caithness as cover and invariably retreats there if the situation becomes too bleak.

1998 (20):

Gabriel returns to Craine on the trail of the last noble family he knows to be involved in his family’s death. He is instantly entranced by the lordling’s new wife and eventually learns that this is an arranged and loveless marriage. After helping him murder the lordling, they consummate an illicity relationship … but come the morning, she raises the armcry with the story that Gabriel (going then by “Julius of House Firenza”) murdered her husband before raping her. Gabriel narrowly escapes capture and flees. He turns to the Church for sanctuary, fully intending upon hiding there for a while before making good his escape.

1999 (21):

Word reaches “Brother Gabriel” (who has become a tolerably decent monk) that the Lady who used him has been put to death on charges of murder; her third husband has died a mysterious death. The bishop of the monastery then reveals to Gabriel that he knew the Auditores and actually enlisted their services a time or two (which sours Gabe on religion somewhat – he’s pious, but has no patience for clergy or the Church as an institution since he believes all priests are corrupt.) That night, fearing that the bishop means to use his skills for dark purposes, he flees into Caithness. Over the few years, he spends a great deal of time living in the mud among the peasantry with only his father’s sword to his name. He gains a great deal of compassion for the down-trodden. The events of Banestorm: Mercy Kill.

2000 (22):

The events of Banestorm: Old Friends. The events of Banestorm: Foul Wretches.

2001 (23):

Narrowly escaped the fall of Blythe when it fell to Saurians. His employer, a merchant he knew as Fat Tom, was not as lucky, and Gabriel lost a fine horse he’d spent a lot of money on. The events of Banestorm: First Impressions.

2002 (24):

Spends about a year in Harkwood. Becomes romantically involved with Miratáriel, an elf lass whose name he can barely pronounce – he calls her Mira because that's at least part of her name – but their relationship ends amicably when she realizes that he's getting restless. It isn't until after he leaves Harkwood that he realizes Mira helped him get past the last of the lingering anger and rage he'd been suffering from since his youth. While in Harkwood, he briefly establishes the identity of Gavriel Costigan, a Megalan dancing master. The events of Banestorm: Three Dances.

2005-2006 (27-28):

2014 to 2016: (36 to 38)

For two years, Gabriel and Merasiel are involved in the abolitionist cause, she because of Intolerance (Slavers) and he because he has nothing better to do. Perhaps she mentions her "list" and they agree to 'speed up the process' for those on it? His own intolerance toward Templars wanes once he discovers they aren't as bad as he thought, but he grows to hate slavers with as much passion as Mera does. (Intolerance is swapped: Templars to Slavers). Together, the two cause a great deal of damage to organized slave-taking (in Arabic and Christian lands alike), generally making considerable effort to remain unknown and make those connected to their targets believe that rival slavers are responsible. They are wildly successful and Gabe realizes he is not as bothered by doing assassiny things when the target is a POS. During this time, they visit some elves in Cardiel and Gabriel is forced to leave Cometes behind as the horse is growing too old. While visiting these elves, Gabriel learns that he is no longer aging like a normal man which disturbs him greatly; none of the elves can tell him why though all agree it seems connected to his tattoos. Based on later campaign developments, the two have a child they name Thorondil and leave with elven foster parents to rear so it is likely that this is when that transpires. In 2016, while being assassiny in al-Wazif, they learn that Gestlin has been identified as a threat and targeted. They travel to Tredroy to deal with this threat and end up having to get the wizard clear of the city. He is only too happy to do so.

2016 to 2020: (38 to 42)

Gabe and Merasiel escort Gestlin to Araterre where they spend some time. In 2020, the "Incident" happens involving their son and, after the roaring rampage of revenge that Gabe and Mera do, she takes the child to Harkwood while Gabe stays with Gestlin and does what he can to attract attention from any potential threats. Banestorm: Taken, Part One and Part Two.

2020 to 2023: (42 to 45)

Gabe finds himself accompanying Gestlin north where they run afoul of Rainald's people. When they reach Sahud, Gabe's fighting style is such that it draws much attention and he learns a great deal as well. It is around Year 9 that Gabe learns Gestlin has also been secretly studying him since, as far as Gestlin can tell, Gabriel is now Unaging (thanks to those damned magical tattoos). The two men have fierce words and Gabriel vanishes in the night, abandoning Gestlin.

2023 to 2024: (45 to 46)

Gabe returns to Megalos and spends some time at that now abandoned fortress where he gained his dragon-mark. He is discomfited when he realizes that it has been empty for decades, probably since he left it, and all of the crazy training rooms ... don't exist. He seeks out Merasiel once more.

2029: (51)

Banestorm: Chance Meetings.
