I agree. God is beyond such things as having a need to "manipulate" others. He is an outside observor that has absolute presience and I see the mirror of fate at it's core, as nothing more than a representatation of God's knowledge of everyone and everything.

Gabriel didn't see the bigger picture of his fate. Marrie offers some dialogue in the game that shows she is aware of the larger role his destiny has yet to play, saying something to the extent of, "This all had to happen for a reason." The cost was great though. Especially when you think of all the fallen members of the brotherhood that died in vain going up against Dracula over the centuries. It's literally impossible to vanquish someone who God won't allow to die.(because it's Gabriel's fate that has chosen him to be the eventual destruction of evil). One of my favorite scenes in the game is when Dracula uses the Paladin's prayer against him and the Brotherhood. Here's the thing though about the Brotherhood. Their faith is so absolute that they would of gone willingly to their deaths knowing that it all had to happen this way.
