Though in the bible he is refered to as male, Gabriel is often depicted as female or androgynous in art and literature, Gabriel is known as the "messenger" Angel and is one of the four Archangels named in Hebrew tradition and is considered one of the two highest-ranking Angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic religious lore. Apart from Michael, she is the only Angel mentioned by name in the Old Testament. In Abrahamic religions, Gabriel (Bulgarian: Гавраил, Hebrew: גַּבְרִיאֵל, Modern Gavri'el Tiberian Gaḇrîʼēl - the strength of God; Latin: Gabrielus Serbian: Гаврило; Turkish: Cebrail; Greek: Γαβριήλ, Gabriēl; Arabic: جبريل, Jibrīl or جبرائيل Jibrail; Aramaic: Gabri-el, "God is my strong man/hero") is an archangel who serves as a messenger from God.
In Latter-day Saint theology, Gabriel lived in this mortal life as the patriarch Noah, which makes sense as Gabriel is also the Archangel of the magickal element of Water.
Gabriel's powers include all things associated with emotions, including, love, passion, and marriage.
