Gabriele = male, Gabrielle = female, no?

don't know or care, I have 7 people in my life with these names, 
including Gabreal  (m) , Gabriela (f), Gab (m), Gabby (f),  Gabriel 
(m), Gabriele (m), etc.

The archangel uses the e-less form

Gabreal
 -> "Gabrael"

I think the Archangel uses a bastardized version of koptic greek 
or aramaic, which both don't really even have vowels...

(per se)

Great remake an old NES game:
