Fate is decided by God, in this series, it is technically the greatest form of manipulation, which would make God the real, true and final antagonist of this series... especially when in the Mirror of Fate Trevor states that it was wrong of Gabriel to simply accept his Fate (which is dictated by God and is God's Will, this is mentioned in the series, for example by Pan). Of course Fate isn't necessarily an evil thing, but it certainly binds and limits the will of all creatures.

Also, the God in this series, might be closer to the Forgotten One and the Old Gods, since seemingly he originally didn't have control over Fate to such extend. The Old Gods lost most of their power because people (or all creatures) stopped prying and worshiping them, instead turning all of their attention towards the One God, which would explain how he rose so much in power. If the Forgotten One is similar, then his claim that his power is unlimited, wouldn't be so far fetched, if it was also depended on faith and believe of other creatures (thus him being forgotten would have greatly weakened him).

It is also suspicious how Gabriel was able to change the color of the crystals, that were powering up the Paladin's Cross and the Mechanical Titan, since seemingly those were for "holy" purposes and origin, so for them to be so easily altered, would suggest that a similar power, but from a different source, was used... in a way, Richter's and Dracula's conversation in the prologue of SotN alluded to something similar...

Also, at the end of the LOS2, Gabriel mentions something about Fate being uncertain, even though right before he said that he had looked into the Mirror of Fate (which Alucard said to Simon that it was especially binding and manipulating one's will)... this would be only possible if Gabriel and all other creatures were released from the bounds of Fate (or they had become capable of dictating their own Fate), but for that to happen, he would need to take care of the one responsible for it... probably in the second or third DLC if that was the case :P.
