Part of the reason Gabriel lost to Alucard and Simon was because he was holding back (he only used the Shadow Whip). And don't forget Gabriel was still winning aginast Victor while his power was repressed by the glyphs in the church.

I think Gabirel's power is a combination of his status as God's chosen one, his vampirism, and the Forgotten One's power. The uber immortality could be from attaining the combeined power of the Lords of Shadow (Zobek was killed by Satan via immolation and still came back). That's actually what caused me to question his immortality. Him holding back while fighting SImon and ALucard does make sense. But then the question is what's the real power behind the immortality? Vampirism can be destroyed with something other than the Vampire Killer, and I would imagine the Forgotten One's power could be taken if Gabriel learned how to expel from him like the demon did. So for me it makes sense that his status as God's chosen one would make that plausible. But the question I'm asking is 'was the chosen because he brought the pieces together' and 'was the power that the dark lords held a hidden power within the mask pieces?', as in if anyone else had done what Gabriel did, would the inherit the same thing?
