Before Gabriel disappears, Zobek tells him he will free him of his immortality if he helps him. Zobek mentions the acolytes of Satan are preparing for his return and that they must stop him, before he takes revenge on both of them. Zobek asks him why he has been hiding all this time, but he angrily retorts that he is no longer called Gabriel and says "Eu sunt Dracul!" (Romanian for "I am the Dragon/Devil"). Yet, I cannot live." - Gabriel to Zobek after his transformationĪfter the ending credits, Zobek is seen alive centuries later during modern times, and has uncovered Gabriel living out an immortal life as a vampire while hiding in a church. Zobek also used the mask on Gabriel to kill his wife Marie, orchestrating the events of the story. Gabriel says he will not let him stand in his way, but Zobek mentions he used the Devil Mask on Gabriel to have him kill Claudia so he could take the Black Knight's gauntlet, which allowed Zobek to control Gabriel if he ever became a threat to him. Zobek says according to the prophecy, all he needed was for Gabriel to restore the power of the Spirits, while using him to avoid suspicion from them. Desiring this power, he searched Hell to acquire it, until an evil force entered him and expanded his knowledge of the dark arts. Zobek states he did this because he grew tired of the Lords of Shadow diverting the power amongst the three of them and not seeing the potential they had in combining it. He knew this would persuade the Order's founders in Heaven to contact the Brotherhood of Light. Zobek then appears before Gabriel with the Devil Mask, who wears it over his face and discloses that he is in fact the Lord of the Necromancers, and the one who cast the spell that separated the Earth from the Heavens.
