When Gunnery Sergeant Matthew Allen Johnson steped on a land mine on some god forsaken island during the height of the war in the Pacific he knew that he was going to die. Unable to move and unable to feel anything - not even the blood spurting stump that was once his leg - his last hope of ever seeing his pregnant wife again slowedly faded away. But there was someone with him who would not let him give up. In the short moment before blood loss claimed his consciousness Sergeant Johnson saw an angel standinging over him. She whipsered gentle words of reassurance, telling him that he would live to see his family. And she gave him instructions.

Sergeant Johnson awoke to find that he was still alive and that his bloody stump was a leg once again. It was a mangled leg that would never be fully right again but it was functional enough to carry him to safety. He silently thanked God for this miracle and removed the bayonet from his rifle as he remembered what the angel had told him.

Confused, but grateful, Matthew brought the tip of the bayonet to the stock of his rifle and began to carve runes that he did not understand.

Note - The Horn of Gabriel always has a fully magazine and cannot be reloaded. For this reason it cannot accept any ammunition except for its own unique cartridges. These bullets contain True Fire and can be used as alchemical radicals if retrieved. They add +1 to power and count as elemental (fire) weapons against creatures who are vulnerable to them.

The Horn of Gabriel is a vintage M1 Garand from WWII. At first glance it appears unremarkable except for countless scraches and gouges in the wood and the metal of the weapon. Closer inspection will reveal that the marks are some sort of writing but only those fluent in the language of Throal will be able to understand it.

The weapon was originally issued to a United States Marine named Matthew Johnson. When on the verge of death Johnson Awakened and had a vision of a Free Spirit on the astral plane. Following this spirit's instructions Sergeant Johnson enchanted the weapon as a homunculus that the astral bound spirit could use to interact with the material world.

As he hid from Japanese soldiers and tried to make his way back to his camp Sergeant Johnson found that he was protected by a higher power. Enemies who should have been him passed him by for no good reason. A falling tree crushed a sniper that had spoted him. When he did get into a firefight his weapon never ran out ammo and a bright glow seemed to deflect bullets away from him. Most spectaculary, destructive balls of fire and deadly bolts of lightening leap from his weapon on occasion.

When he finally reached safety he could not bear to give up the weapon and took great pains to missapropriate it when the Marine Corps discharged him due to his debilitating. Over the decades the weapon has been passed down within his family.

The Free Spirit currently known as Suu once had an epic love affair with a Dwarven nobelman during the Age of Legend. Their relationship produced several children and Suu worked behind the scenes to ensure that her decendants retained high standing within the court of Throal. Over time, the waning mana level forced her to retreat to the metaplanes. The the waning of magic the Age as Legend slipped from human memory and the ancient kingdoms were reduced to whispered myth.

As the mana level rose during the period leading up to the Awakening Suu ventured out into the world hoping to find that her decendants still prospered. When she tracked down her last blood realitive she found him dying on a South Pacific island and was powerless to help him because she could not materialize. Due to fortutious karma and the small temperory mana spike caused by the lightening elemental's presence the dying soldier awakened and percieved the Astral plane in the seconds before his death, giving Suu the opertunity she needed to stabillize him and treat his wounds. During his brief experience of Astral Perception Suu taught him how to enchant a homunculus for her to reside in untill the world's mana reached a point that coild sustain her matrial form. The soldier enchanted his rifle and Suu entered it, using her magic to protect her decendant and to ensure that the rifle would always be passed on to someone of her blood.

Suu's Wealth power ensures that her rifle will always be fully loaded but she detemines when it can fire. She will rarely allow anyone not of her blood to fire it and she will never allow it to harm her kin.
