—Hawk Moth, "Animan" |
Gabriel Agreste (born Gabi Grassette) was the main antagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, serving as the main antagonist of the first five seasons and the posthumous overarching antagonist of Season 6. He was also one of the two main antagonists (alongside Techno-Pirate) of Miraculous World: New York - United Heroez, the central antagonist of Miraculous World: Shanghai - The Legend of Ladydragon, the secondary antagonist of Miraculous World: Paris - Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir, and the posthumous overarching antagonist of Miraculous World: London - At the Edge of Time.
He was a famous fashion designer across Paris and the world who created and owned the fashion brand Gabriel. He was also the husband of the late Emilie Agreste and the father of Adrien Agreste, who quit modeling for him in Season 5.[36]
With the Butterfly Miraculous, when inhabited by Nooroo, Gabriel transformed into Hawk Moth (Le Papillon in the French version, which translates to "The Butterfly"), a butterfly-themed supervillain with the power of Transmission, who was the main villain of the first three seasons. He wanted Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses for himself in order to obtain the Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power and reshape reality to bring back his wife after she used the damaged Peacock Miraculous. To achieve his goal, he used the Butterfly Miraculous' power: Akumatization. This allowed him to create and control akumas, regular butterflies, imbued with the power of the Butterfly Miraculous that can transform normal people with negative emotions into akumatized supervillains.[37][38]
In "The Collector", in order to divert suspicion of being Hawk Moth because of him possessing the Grimoire, he akumatized himself into the Collector, a supervillain who had the power to imprison any person or object within his magical notebook as his weapon. In "Gabriel Agreste", his sentimonster in the episode of the same name used a tablet as a weapon.
In "Catalyst", which is part of the Heroes' Day special, Hawk Moth was enhanced by the titular akumatized supervillain into Scarlet Moth as part of his plan to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses.
In "Truth" and throughout season 4, Gabriel unified the Butterfly Miraculous with the Peacock Miraculous after fixing it to become Shadow Moth (Papillombre in the French version, which is a portmaneau of "papillon" and "ombre", that latter of which translates to shadow.) to be a stronger opponent for his nemeses.
In "Dearest Family", facing the obstacle that Ladybug's Magical Charms represent to prevent his plans, Shadow Moth was able to create an improved version of his akumas, called megakumas, that are able to break through the defenses of the Magical Charms and destroy them. During his successful experiment, Gabriel briefly reakumatized himself into the Collector.
In "Ephemeral", Shadow Moth acquired the Cat Miraculous from Adrien and unified it with his other Miraculouses to become Shadow Noir (Chatpillon in the French version, which is a portmaneau of "chat", which translates to cat, and "papillon".) [39]. He was also able to get the Ladybug Miraculous from Marinette and achieve his long goal to make his wish come true. Fortunately, after Sass rewound time, Shadow Noir was erased from the reality.
In "Shadow Moth's Final Attack", Shadow Moth amokized himself to create Strikeback. After a bargain with his nephew Félix, who was able to steal Ladybug's yo-yo as Flairmidable, Gabriel renounced the Peacock Miraculous, trading it for all the Miraculous in the Chinese Miracle Box, the ring Félix had previously stolen from him, and the Dog Miraculous. Later, he unified the Butterfly Miraculous with the Fox and Turtle Miraculouses to become Monarch and boast his victory over Ladybug to all of Paris.[40]
In "Evolution", Monarch used the Rabbit Miraculous to go to the past to discover Ladybug and Cat Noir's secret identities and to prevent his wife's coma. Later, he unified them with the Turtle, Fox, Bee, Dragon and Dog Miraculouses to prevent Ladybug and Cat Noir from stopping him. He ended up losing the Rabbit Miraculous in the end, and Nathalie decided to stop helping Gabriel after he chose to go after Ladybug and Cat Noir instead of saving her and Emilie.
In "Multiplication", he began working with Tomoe Tsurugi to create the Alliance rings. To test their ability to receive Miraculous superpowers, he akumatized Tomoe and transferred her the power of the Mouse Miraculous. Upon her defeat, the Miraculous superpower disappeared and the kwami returned to her cage in Monarch's lair, removing the need to give and take the Miraculouses as Ladybug once did.
In "Destruction", while trying to discover the address of Ladybug's alter ego, Monarch got caught by Ladybug and Cat Noir and left completely subjugated by them. In a desperate move, Monarch forced Cat Noir to use his Cataclysm on the former's left forearm, using the shock of his enemies to unify the Butterfly and Horse Miraculouses to escape them. Later on, in order to prevent himself from falling in any more traps set by Ladybug and Cat Noir and risk losing any more Miraculouses, all while still making use of their powers, Gabriel melted all the Miraculous in his possession with the exception of the Butterfly and reforged them into rings, all while adopting a brand-new form as Monarch.
In "Deflagration", after finding out the identities of Scarabella and Kitty Noire, Gabriel was able to come up with a plan where he was able to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses from Alya and Zoé respectively. When he tried to unify the two Miraculous with the Butterfly Miraculous, Plagg used his Cataclysm on his Miraculous, destroying it. However, after Marinette disguised as Ladybug told him the Miraculous Ladybug was the only thing capable of bringing Plagg and the Cat Miraculous back, he unified the Butterfly Miraculous with the Ladybug Miraculous, becoming Monarch Bug[41]. He tried to use Miraculous Monarch Bug to fix everything, but was duped by Marinette's fake Lucky Charm and ended up losing both the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses because of this.
In the events of "Multiplication" through "Intuition", Gabriel, unbeknownst to others, was using Second Chance to rewind to the time when his akumatized villains were about to be defeated, thus giving them one more chance. However, this only accelerated the effect of the Cataclysm and made him even weaker, at the risk of his life. In his last attempt, he used this power again to sabotage the test on Tsurugi Industries's space jet, to separate Ladybug and Cat Noir, furthermore, he used the powers of Migration, Passion, Illusion, Protection and Action as part of the plan. But as Ladybug and Cat Noir are always unpredictable in battle, he abused the use of Second Chance, and became even weaker. With that, Gabriel no longer uses the Snake Miraculous.
In "Representation", after Adrien disobeyed him and ran away from London to be with Marinette again, Gabriel akumatized himself into Nightormentor, a supervillain who could shoot magic dust from his blowpipe which made his victims mentally experience their worst nightmare. Additionally, he granted himself the superpower of the Horse Miraculous, Voyage.
In "The Final Day", Gabriel reakumatized himself into Nightormentor, and, with the essences of the Miraculouses of the Mouse, the Rooster and the Horse, he spread the nightmare dust across the world. Later, Gabriel transferred the powers of the Miraculouses to people via the Alliance rings and they transformed into Miraculized, a group of people chasing after Ladybug and Cat Noir, after they had "kidnapped" his son Adrien Agreste (who is actually Cat Noir) and Kagami Tsurugi. At the end, he lost the Butterfly Miraculous, acquired the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses and brought his assistant Nathalie back to life; resulting in the universe being re-created and Gabriel sacrificing his life and joining his wife Emilie in the afterlife.
Appearance
Physical appearance
Gabriel was a very tall man with a fair but rosy-tinted skin tone and a pointy chin. He had pale, light grayish cerulean eyes and combed-back light blond (or grey hair, depending on the episode). In a desperate move, to escape a trap set by Ladybug and Cat Noir, he forced Cat Noir to Cataclysm him in "Destruction". Gabriel gained a hand-shaped burn-like mark on his left forearm. In "Passion", "Elation", and "Protection", the damage was revealed to be expanding, covering his whole forearm.
"Intuition" demonstrates Gabriel's damaged heart. To make matters worse, as shown in "Pretension", the injury extended up his arm and covered most of his chest.
In "Re-creation", he was seen coughing up black dust, indicating that his internal systems were succumbing. Before he made his wish, the injury had reached his chin, and small parts of his fingers were seen crumbling to dust.
Civilian attire
In Seasons 1-4, Gabriel wore black-framed silver glasses. He had a white high collar dress shirt underneath a medium gray striped vest with red buttons and a cream-colored dress jacket without buttons, along with a red and white-striped ascot tie. Underneath the tie, he had the Butterfly Miraculous pinned on his shirt. He also wore red dress pants and a pair of white dress shoes, with black soles, and red shoelaces. On the middle finger of his left hand, he had a silver band ring, which was sometimes depicted on his right hand.
In Season 5, Gabriel wore a white high collar dress shirt underneath a white vest with a white zipper and a white dress jacket, without buttons, along with a white tie. Underneath the tie, he had the Butterfly Miraculous pinned on his shirt. He also wore white dress pants and a pair of white dress shoes with black soles and no shoelaces. He also wore white gloves on his hands that covered the reforged Miraculouses that took the form of rings. His new glasses had rectangular lenses with a white frame. His hair was whiter and slightly flatter.
As Hawk Moth
Hawk Moth wore a high dark purple dress shirt without a collar, over which he wore a darker purple jacket with a black butterfly-shaped lapel. The Butterfly Miraculous was placed on the center of his chest. He also wore dress pants, in the same shade of the jacket, and black gloves and dress shoes without laces. He also wore a silver (or dark gray, depending on the episode) cowl with a butterfly-shaped outline over the majority of his face and neck. Whenever he was communicating with his akumatized supervillains, a bright magenta or purple butterfly-shaped outline appeared above his face and around his eyes. He was armed with a dark purple cane with a purple gemstone on top of it.
As the Collector
The Collector's skin was magentaish gray. His hair stuck up in a point and was white with black vertical stripes, along the back of his head and his neck being black. He wore a black pointed shouldered dress suit with a white lapel and black and red downward-bent stripes on the front. Each lower sleeve had a white stripe, and his hands had white gloves. He also wore black dress pants with high heel boots connected to them. Those heels of them were cone-shaped with white downward bent stripes.
As Scarlet Moth
Scarlet Moth's outfit was the same as Hawk Moth's except it was colored various shades of red due to the enhancement from Catalyst, with most of his suit being dark red. His cowl, cane, and the Butterfly Miraculous were colored bright red.
As Shadow Moth
Shadow Moth's suit was similar to that of Hawk Moth. He sported a bright purple tailcoat with the tail possessing a number of rounded points that with black spots that have pink centers, resembling a peacock's tail feathers. The lapel of that tailcoat made a large collar that was wider at the back, and he wore the same cowl as Hawk Moth, but with the addition of a bluish-purple and black monocle with a translucent purple eyehole over his right eye. He also had dark purple pants and the Butterfly Miraculous was placed on Shadow Moth's chest with the Peacock Miraculous placed below it.
As Shadow Noir
Shadow Noir possessed a muscular built black skin tight outfit, with grey accents that covered his entire body, including his head, except for a small area around his mouth. His eyes had purple sclerae and with darker purple irises. His face had the outline of his butterfly cowl and cat ear-like appendices at the top. He also had peacock feather-like ornaments on his chest, the back of his hands and forehead that were dark purple with a bright pink center. From the ornament on his chest, there was two grey collar-like appendices. From the back side of his waist, he had a long cat tail with the tip looking like a peacock feather with a purple center with a gray outline. On the center of his cowl, there was a dark purple peacock feather-shaped symbol with the center of that being white. He had the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses at the same place he had them when he was Shadow Moth and the Cat Miraculous on his right ring finger.
As Monarch
In his first transformation, Monarch possessed a purple turtleneck shirt with purple pants and black shoes. Over the shirt, he had a purple sleeveless tailcoat with a black butterfly-shaped lapel with a decoration similar to that of a stained glass with the respective colors of each Miraculous he used and pockets with black edging. The colors would glow depending on the respective Miraculous he currently was using, as shown in "Miraculous Paris". Over the upper half of his face, he used a black butterfly-shaped mask with the Horse Miraculous, with his skin being lilac and the eyes having a brilliant mulberry colored-sclera and brilliant cyan irises. He wore the Monkey Miraculous around his head and the Ox Miraculous on his nose. His hair was white and decorated with the Goat Miraculous over his temples and the Bee Miraculous at the back of his head. The Butterfly Miraculous was located serving as a button uniting the two halves of the lapel at the center of his body, while he wore the Dog, Dragon, Mouse and Fox Miraculouses around his neck. The Snake Miraculous was on his left wrist, the Tiger Miraculous on his left hand, the Turtle Miraculous on his right wrist, the Rooster Miraculous on his right thumb and the Pig Miraculous on his left ankle. The Rabbit Miraculous was located in the right pocket of his tailcoat. Also in "Miraculous Paris", the Miraculouses that he did not activate appeared in camouflaged mode instead of activated mode.
In his second transformation, Monarch only used his Butterfly Miraculous, which was located on his chest. His suit changed regarding the last one. It was similar to the one he had as Hawk Moth, but had a dark purple tailcoat over its jacket with a big black butterfly-shaped lapel. On his head, he had a dark purple cowl covering the upper half of his face, with the front being shaped as a butterfly. He had lilac skin and the brilliant purple sclerae he had in Monarch's unified form with vivid cyan irises. On his fingers, he had a set of rings, the other Miraculous in their reforged form, each of them having a symbol of the Miraculous they represent. Pressing them either let him use the Miraculous superpowers or transfer the Miraculous superpowers to his akumatized supervillains, with the rings being positioned as follows: Mouse on his left thumb, Dragon on his left index finger, Bee and Goat on his left middle finger, Dog on his left ring finger, Tiger on his left pinky finger, Ox on his right thumb, Horse and Monkey on his right index finger, Fox and Snake on his right middle finger, Turtle and Rooster on his right ring finger and Pig on his right pinky finger. He also wore a regular Alliance ring on his left index finger.
As Monarch Bug
Monarch Bug's outfit had the same design as Monarch, except it changed from purple to red with black polka-dot patterns, but he kept the black butterfly-shaped lapel. His irises' color changed from vivid cyan to vivid red, and his cowl and gloves also changed from purple to black. The Butterfly Miraculous was still on his chest and he wore the Ladybug Miraculous on his ears. His skin, however, remained lilac.
As Nightormentor
Nightormentor had the same appearance as the Collector, though the color scheme of his suit changed from black, red and white to dark purple, blue, and with glowing pink sections, in addition to having glowing glitter everywhere on his suit. Also, he wore a striped magenta tie, and his skin tone became a slightly darker shade of lilac, except his hands, which were glowing pink. His visor faded from dark blue to magenta at the top to bottom, and his hair was also blue with glowing pink stripes. He wielded a long, glowing pink flute.

Personality
Gabriel came off as a cold, harsh, and very strict man. He was extremely protective of his son Adrien, having kept him home for most of his life. He had a possessive and distant relationship with him. He made executive decisions about how to keep his son safe without considering how he may feel, such as unjustly deeming Nino a bad influence for Adrien and forbidding him from coming to his home ever again. Gabriel missed his wife greatly and sometimes had to be reminded that his son was also grieving as well, making him oblivious to the feelings of others. According to Adrien in "Adrien's Double Life", ever since the "disappearance" of his wife, Gabriel was a changed man; one that strongly disliked taking orders from anyone, even if they were from people who were trying to help and protect him, such as Ladybug and Cat Noir. Despite this, he could be respectful and kind at times, especially when needing to act professionally.
In his supervillain identities, he was cold and determined. After one of his akumatized supervillain's defeat, he determinedly vowed revenge and wasted little time waiting to try again. His goal was to claim the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses and to gain their absolute power necessary to achieve his secret wish, not caring if he caused people harm in the process, even to his own son. He was aware of the equivalent exchange drawback of making a wish with the Miraculouses, every wish having a reaction to maintain balance in the universe, but it did not appear to bother him, leading to him being very ignorant, cocky, and reckless about the magic he wielded or wished to obtain on several occasions.[42] Meaning that he didn't always think things through, such as him being unaware of the after-effects of using such magic, not recalling his akuma back before he lost it in "Startrain" or when he praised Chloé for using the Miraculouses against Ladybug and Cat Noir, apparently unaware that she could have severely injured herself by doing so, painfully learning this himself the hard way in "Evolution".
He was also very stubborn as he refused to listen to Nooroo about how the Butterfly Miraculous should be used, showing no remorse about all the damage and chaos he caused in Paris and was also very desperate to save his wife, initially anyway. At that point, he was completely obsessed with Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Saving his wife was merely a justification for his obsession, though this was also part of the obsession to a degree. It was the consumption of said obsessive feelings that twisted his heart so much that in the alternate future of "Cat Blanc" and "Miraculous Shanghai", it led to his own demise. However, as the battle went on to save her, he was wracked with guilt and worry for Nathalie as she used the damaged Peacock Miraculous before it was fixed. This is seen expressively in "Nathalie as seen by Gabriel".
Those said feelings are what deeply affected his moral compass, as he used them to encourage his minions to do the same. As seen in "Truth", "Lies", "Gang of Secrets", as well as most episodes, he was fine with helping others expose the secrets of those close to them by any means necessary, but for himself, he hid the biggest secret of them all. On occasion, he misused the power of good emotions through his akumatized supervillains to do his bidding by force seen in "The Bubbler" and "Zombizou". He manipulated his victims into thinking he was their supporter who could help them achieve their goals if they helped him achieve his. Even though he convinced himself he did all this destruction for his family, Gabriel really did it for himself and his pride; as no one in their right mind would ask for this, let alone thank him for ignoring the consequences of his actions.[43] He also claimed that the outside world was dangerous, but he was responsible for everything and by using the Miraculouses irresponsibly, he made himself a danger to his own son. The akumatized villains he made were his most powerful known weapon, so he tried to choose his victims carefully. Despite this, in several episodes such as "Psycomedian" and "Crocoduel", he missed out on a great akumatization opportunity just to akumatize his original target first. If things weren't going his way, he easily became impatient, threatening to harm almost anyone who stood in his way, be they heroes, civilians, or even the akumatized supervillains he created. He sometimes used puns, such as telling the akuma to draw Nathaniel into their evil web in "The Evillustrator".
Despite these traits, Gabriel could be merciful with those he cared about, such as when he ordered the akumatized supervillain to drop Ladybug in order to save Adrien, in "Gorizilla". While he was obsessed with finding a way to save his wife, he was willing to give up his evil ways to protect Adrien from being caught in the crossfire or being targeted by the akumatized supervillains he created. This situation, along with his frustration that even Audrey, who he believed was his greatest masterpiece, made him temporarily renounce his role as a villain. However, he decided to continue to be Hawk Moth after Audrey's daughter Chloé used the Bee Miraculous Ladybug lost during her battle with Style Queen to become Queen Bee, viewing the opportunity to akumatize a Miraculous holder as too good to pass up. Though his goal was specifically getting Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, Gabriel also planned to seize all of the Miraculouses so he could have unlimited powers at his disposal which he somewhat succeeded in as he possessed fifteen Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box, including the Butterfly Miraculous. It is implied that he became power-hungry due to being a villain for a long time and was addicted to yearning power to an extreme degree that he would grasp every opportunity to seize power in order to steal the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses. Even though he didn't know it yet, by creating situations that put the heroes in said positions, Gabriel fed his greed, such as when Alya played his greed against him in "Sentibubbler".
It is also implied in "Evolution" that using so many Miraculouses at once was affecting his sanity, such as how he eagerly used the Rabbit Miraculous out of greed and impatience which caused him to lose it, though he probably would have acted the same way without his insanity. He also made a point of using the kwamis as a constant reminder of Ladybug's mistake. He also called the kwamis useless, though it was his own choice and fault for overtaxing them. More proof of his insanity is when he forced Cat Noir to use his Cataclysm on his forearm so he could escape a trap that Ladybug and Cat Noir prepared which left him completely at their mercy. Without a way to escape, he risked his own life to make a way to get away and took Ladybug's Lucky Charm with him, the only thing capable of healing him.
Even more so in "Intuition", when he used Second Chance while in his condition, making it worse and by not fully understanding the Snake Miraculous power, he foolishly used it in a situation he couldn't win to the point where Nathalie harshly reprimanded him about it.
One of his greatest weaknesses was that he seemed to underestimate people as he taunted Ladybug and Cat Noir for being young, but the heroes have proven their worth by beating his akumatized supervillains almost every single time. He also had a habit of celebrating too soon when the heroes were weakened by his many akumatized supervillains, thinking it would get him closer to the heroes' Miraculouses. In "Cat Blanc", he said that if Ladybug truly loved Adrien, she would let him save his mother, suspecting that they would use the same tactics. As seen in "Gang of Secrets", he was shocked that Alya broke his hold, calling it impossible, believing that his link couldn't be broken. This was quite foolish since in "Miraculer", Chloé resisted him.
This also showed his lack of trust and belief in people as of various episodes as no one asked why he wanted the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses nor he didn't say, always believing his ways were right and others were wrong, without even thinking his ways could have been wrong. He continuously withheld the truth out of fear of believing no one could or would help him if it were exposed, especially with the Snake Miraculous.
Leading to his limited perspective on the Butterfly Miraculous' true meaning; as he said in "Stormy Weather 2", "People don't change, they grow". However, Gabriel failed to realize with change comes growth, and growth comes change. As Master Fu believed in the events of "The Battle of the Miraculous", he talked too much for someone who hadn't achieved much so far, meaning he did so much to change himself and others on the outside he neglected inner changes, and by letting his negative feelings run wild for too long, Gabriel wasn't only in denial or angry about the past; but afraid of it, which could also explain why he hid like a caterpillar that is afraid to come out of his cocoon and why he didn't trust Adrien with the truth.
This is held true in "Revelation", as Gabriel kept secrets about his past hidden in a safe. Even though they both were affected by the loss of Emilie, Gabriel should've taken solace that his son has found someone to love but instead of being happy and proud for him, he was disgusted and jealous towards him, not only for Adrien falling in love with someone who wasn't apart of his class, but their happiness reminded him of what he no longer had.
His distaste for the lower-class and people who "don't know their place" may have stemmed from his in-laws as they probably shamed him for his common background. According to Félix's play in "Representation", Gabriel was a "humble tailor". Despite his extraordinary talent in fashion design, he didn't have much to his name, nor was he too proud or self-confident as he was when he was alive. His parents-in-laws, the Graham de Vanilys, were gobsmacked at Emilie's relationship with Gabriel as they didn't believe he wasn't good enough for their daughter as he had no money or status. Colt Fathom, his brother-in-law, called him an "inferior tailor", meaning to Colt, Gabriel was nothing more than just a menial servant and didn't believe at all that he and Emilie should have a child. Once he became rich and powerful himself, he changed his name to sound more upper-class, preferred to surround himself with higher class people, and developed an elitist and classist attitude, not just towards Adrien's friends and Marinette in particular, but to the world.
In specific ways, he was a hypocrite. He stated to be worried about Adrien's safety but often put him in danger. He laughed at Ladybug and Cat Noir for caring about Senti-Ladybug when his son is a senti-human. He had a problem with Adrien starting a romantic relationship with Marinette, due to him thinking she's not good enough for his son as she's just "the daughter of local bakers" when Gabriel himself came from identical, if not lower origins, than her; his in-laws didn't accept his relationship with Emilie and thought she was too good for him, resulting in Emilie giving up everything for Gabriel. He mocked Marinette when she said that fashion was a form of self-expression; to make people happy and help make their dreams come true when he himself used to make clothes to make people happy himself and have their dreams come true. He established that he cared for Adrien's happiness and was doing all this for him when he not only isolated Adrien from the world while pushing him away but repeatedly hurt him and took away what made his son happy. Nathalie pointed out Gabriel placed his ideas of happiness onto Adrien's and even Bug Noire later bluntly told him that Adrien not only made peace with Emilie's passing but he meant nothing to him anymore and was now just using his son as a justification for his madness.
Despite his strategic brilliance, Gabriel seemed to overlook easier solutions when fixing a problem, such as when Emilie got put into a coma as a result of overusing the damaged Peacock Miraculous. He needed a cure which he thought could only be done by using the Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power. He was quick to use force to get what he wanted as well as impatient, leading him to doubt the use of other options but also the help and support of others. His plans were often frustrated, as he was prone to mistakes as he had an extremely limited perspective. For example, in "Miracle Queen", he had every Miraculous in his possession, but he gave them to Chloé. It is implied that Nathalie came up with most of his ideas, though he generally only used her ideas once. For example, he only once used Optigami. Like Ladybug, Gabriel too came under the stress of living a double life, not finding it easy to be himself and his alter ego mentioned in "Nathalie as seen by Gabriel".
Gabriel's true intentions were laid bare after his confrontation with Bug Noire. He was willing to cause a high level of collateral damage akin to terrorism and showed no qualms about sacrificing anyone, like Marinette or even the world, to achieve his goals. However, after losing his powers and being reminded the hard truths of his actions for the past season, Emilie's final wishes for him and Adrien, Gabriel experienced a profound change. He broke down in tears, acknowledging Emilie's wisdom and deeply regretting the harm his actions had caused his son and were continuing to inflict on his and Nathalie's lives. Despite managing to disarm Marinette and obtain her Miraculouses, he found redemption in his final act. He made his wish, sacrificing himself in the process, with his wish being revealed as the wellbeing of his family.
As the Collector, due to akumatizing himself, his personality was virtually unaffected. He was obsessed with collecting everything he liked to replace the Grimoire but was still determined to take Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. He also knew that he had to protect his secret identity, referring to himself in third person by telling the none the wiser heroes that he would "give" their Miraculouses to Hawk Moth in order to throw them off his trail.
As Nightormentor, due to akumatizing himself, his personality was virtually unaffected. He was obsessed with finding his son after he fled his London flat, even going after his girlfriend to force her to tell him where he hid. He was also not very determined or focused on wanting to get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses but decided to change his mind when he saw that Cat Noir was teaching him how to be a good father and preventing him from completing his quest. He was even portrayed as a "coward" from Cat Noir's point of view.
Abilities
General skills
Gabriel was an expert at fashion design, be it clothes, accessories, or jewelry. According to Audrey, a fashion critic known for being harsh in her evaluations, she hasn't seen talent as great as Marinette's since Gabriel. Additionally, owning the Gabriel brand, Gabriel was well-versed at running a business, including solving problems by phone concerning design issues and presenting himself professionally when around others.
Gabriel had good hindsight and suspicions about things, revealing he had suspected that there are more Miraculouses in the city and a guardian after Rena Rouge's appearance. In "Syren", he revealed that he'd suspected that Miraculouses had hidden powers after seeing Ladybug and Cat Noir in their aqua forms. He also believed that Adrien could be Cat Noir until he indirectly tricked him that he wasn't. According to Miraculous Secrets, he caused chaos in Paris in the first place, not only to find superheroes, but a guardian in the city to decipher the Grimoire.
He later noticed Ladybug's disappearances in the middle of battles to bring allies, suspecting that she went to the Guardian of the Miraculouses.
Despite being often outsmarted by Ladybug and Cat Noir, Gabriel proved to be a brilliant strategist and tactician. He was cautious and careful like his superheroine nemesis. An example of this is when he was under the suspicion of being Hawk Moth, he akumatized himself to fly under the radar. This showed that he was willing to use dirty or unfair tactics such as using sheer numbers to wear the superheroes down and resorting to surprise attacks, as seen in "Heroes' Day". He also noticed that both Lila and Chloé had great potential and unfinished business with Ladybug, planning to use this to his advantage not only to akumatize them, but also form alliances with them.
Since Nathalie stole Fu's tablet with the deciphered Grimoire pages, Gabriel had knowledge about the process to repair Miraculouses, several spells such as the incantation needed for the wish-granting power of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses, and the recipes for the potions which grant more powers to the holders. However, just like Master Fu and Marinette, the former master was only able to partially decode the Grimoire, so it was likely Gabriel's understanding was more limited than theirs.
Gabriel had many talents, which his son later learned as well: he was very skilled at fencing, knew how to play the piano and perform a duet, and was able to speak Japanese and other languages fluently. Furthermore, Gabriel was able to grow and harvest butterflies.
As Hawk Moth
Hawk Moth had enhanced skills such as speed, agility, strength, and near-invulnerability. Despite the fact that he didn't often fight directly, Hawk Moth was a capable sword fighter, being able to defend himself and destroy miniature missiles from his own lair's defense protocol with his swordstick. His prowess was enough to overpower younger combatants like Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Even without being transformed, Hawk Moth's Miraculous allowed him to feel emotions, whether positive or negative, so he could precisely pinpoint his victims, their emotions, and the reason why they have them. Hawk Moth could control many akumas to form a swarm that made a large version of his head, which he could speak through, shown in "Stoneheart".
Hawk Moth's main superpower was akumatization, the ability to charge butterflies with dark energy, transforming them into akumas and then sending them out to possess an object of someone vulnerable. He could also keep his butterflies in his cane if he needed to use an akuma in another location other than his lair. If his targets agreed to serve him, he transformed them into supervillains by corrupting their personalities and granting them a wide variety of superpowers or special abilities. He could also telepathically communicate with his akumatized supervillains through a pink or purple butterfly-shaped outline that appeared in front of his and the akumatized supervillains' faces when he does so.
However, he was only able to create one akumatized villain at a time over the course of an indeterminate amount of time. He needed to convince his victims to accept the powers that he granted, and the akumatized supervillains that he created still had a will of their own and could either disobey him or carry out his orders incompetently. Still, if an akumatized supervillain didn't go and retrieve the Miraculous like they agreed to, Hawk Moth could control their bodies for a brief amount of time in order to inflict pain onto them until they agreed to do so again. He was also capable of purifying an akuma himself.
When an akuma isn't purified by Ladybug, it will multiply and turn other people into frozen copies of the original akumatized supervillain. Hawk Moth could recall and keep the original akuma in the top of his cane in order to release it again when the victim got sad or angry once more. This turned the victim into the same akumatized villain, but it also unfroze the copies of them, which the original villain could command and control. However, once the original akuma is de-evilized, its copies vanish, reverting the duplicates of the villain back to normal. As shown in Miraculous Shanghai, Hawk Moth could reuse a released akuma instead of multiplying it, akumatizing another person when in need. Hawk Moth was capable of akumatizing any kind of being, not only humans, as long as they are capable of feeling emotions. He was able to akumatize Markov, an AI with real emotions, Master Fu's dormant sentimonster, and Mei Shi, a lion spirit.
As the Collector
As the Collector, he was quick and agile. His main ability was to trap objects and people in the form of drawings inside his book. He threw the book like a boomerang and was capable of going very far distances, once it captured something or someone by hitting them, it returned to him wherever he was.
He could also summon his weapon to himself at will, and utilize the book as a shield against projectiles by either opening it, holding it sturdily or waving it around, so it trapped the object being thrown towards him. Anything it encountered was trapped, no matter how big it was. However, there was a limit to how much could be absorbed, as shown when Ladybug used a makeshift conveyor belt to launch a barrage of Adrien's CDs at him and he used his book to absorb them, it was full when he tried to absorb Ladybug.
The abilities might possibly be different, unlike the original book, his tablet might implied to have infinite storage like SentiGabriel when it was his akumatized object.
As Scarlet Moth
In "Catalyst" and "Ladybug", Hawk Moth akumatized Nathalie into a villain called Catalyst, granting her the ability to enhance other individual's powers. Under Catalyst's influence, Hawk Moth became Scarlet Moth, which greatly augmented his akumatization capabilities. He could create as many akumas and akumatized villains as he wished, without the need to ask for their permission before akumatizing them or the risk of them disobeying him.
As Shadow Moth
As Shadow Moth, Gabriel possessed the abilities of both the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculouses, having the ability to create akumatized champions along with sentimonsters as their allies. He also possessed both the Butterfly Miraculous' cane and the Peacock Miraculous' hand fan as a weapon, using the feathers of the latter to create his amoks. Shadow Moth could either revive dormant sentimonsters or destroy them through releasing their amoks, even if he wasn't the one who created them.
As Shadow Noir
As Shadow Noir, he possessed the abilities of both the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses in addition to the Cat Miraculous, having the ability to create akumatized supervillains along with sentimonsters as their allies, as well as being able to use Cataclysm. He also possessed the Butterfly Miraculous' cane, the Peacock Miraculous' hand fan and the Cat Miraculous' staff as his weapons.
As Monarch
Due to possessing all of the Chinese Miracle Box's Miraculouses save for the Ladybug, Cat, Peacock and as of "Evolution", the Rabbit Miraculous, Monarch was immensely powerful and could wield the Miraculous superpowers of each Miraculous. In this form, he could use, in addition to his powers as a Butterfly Miraculous user:
- Mirage to cast and communicate through hyper-realistic illusions.
- Venom to paralyze anyone he touched with his stinger hand.
- Shell-ter to create a nigh-unbreakable force field.
- Multitude to split himself into any amount of smaller clones.
- Resistance to gain immunity to other superpowers and attacks.
- Clout to gain an energy boost and release it as a punch that overwhelmed anything it encountered.
- Wind Dragon, Water Dragon, and Lightning Dragon to transform into and manipulate the elements of wind, water, and lightning.
- Second Chance to rewind time to a previously marked moment, allowing him to correct any issues or mistakes that occurred in the original timeline.
- Voyage to open a portal to anywhere in the universe.
- Genesis to create any object he desired, but the object was mundane and lacked any superpower, magic, or mythical properties.
- Uproar to manifest a toy that chaotically disrupts an opponent's superpowers when touched.
- Sublimation to grant himself a super ability of his choosing.
- Fetch to retrieve a previously marked item, no matter where it is, except Burrow's pocket dimension if no portals to it are open.
- Gift to manifest an image of a person's happiest desire, placating them and driving away negative forces.
Prior to losing the Rabbit Miraculous, Monarch was formerly also able to use Burrow to travel through time.
After coming across the drawback of wearing too many Miraculouses at the same time, which took a huge toll on his body, and the loss of the Rabbit Miraculous and almost losing completely after falling for a trap prepared by Ladybug, Monarch decided to use the Miraculouses he had stolen from Ladybug in a way that doesn't cause him to be negatively affected or at the risk of losing any more Miraculouses. With the help of technology developed by Tomoe and her company, Monarch melted all the Miraculouses in his possession except for the Butterfly Miraculous and reforged them into technologized rings that allowed him to use or transfer up to five Miraculous superpowers to his akumatized supervillains without the need to transform or unify any of them with the Butterfly Miraculous. He could only transfer powers as long the recipient was in possession of an Alliance, or anything designed with the rings' capability to hold the Miraculous superpowers[44]. Any Alliance could hold one Miraculous superpower at a time, but the recipient could receive multiple powers if they had more than one.
As Monarch Bug
As Monarch Bug, he possessed both the abilities of the Butterfly and Ladybug Miraculouses, having the ability to create akumatized supervillains, along with the use of Lucky Charm, the ability to de-evilize his own akumas, and use Miraculous Monarch Bug to revert and fix the damage with the Lucky Charm object. He possessed both the cane and the yo-yo as weapons.
In addition, Monarch Bug also possessed the same capability to use or transfer the Miraculous superpowers his rings granted him. He used Venom, Multitude, Sublimation, Resistance, and Voyage to capture Scarabella and Kitty Noire's Miraculouses and in his battle with Ladybug and the Resistance.
As Nightormentor
As Nightormentor, he could make people see their worst nightmare using his pink flute. However, his powers could be nullified by the Eagle Miraculous holder or someone with great willpower, as seen with Jessica Keynes and Knightowl, respectively. He also gave himself the power of Voyage, allowing him to disappear and teleport wherever he wished. He also used the pink flute as a weapon, using it to block Cat Noir's staff from hitting him.
In "Conformation", he had the same powers as last time, but also absorbed and utilized the Miraculous powers of Multitude and Sublimation, allowing him to create clones as well as choosing the power of flight.

Etymology
- Gabriel was named after Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who created the French designer brand Chanel.[45]
- The name "Hawk Moth" is the common name of some moths in the family Sphingidae.
- Hawk Moth is called "Butterfly" in other early sources.[38]
- In the European Spanish version, Hawk Moth's name is Lepidóptero, which comes from the scientific order called Lepidoptera, which contains all butterflies and moths.
- That said, when having his powers enhanced by Catalyst, he is called Escarlóptero (the combination of the words Escarlate, which means "scarlet", and Lepidóptero).
- When fusing the Butterfly Miraculous and the Peacock Miraculous, he is called Sombradóptero (the combination of the words Sombra, which means "shadow", and Lepidóptero).
- In the Italian dub, when fusing the Butterfly Miraculous and the Peacock Miraculous, he is called Falena Oscura, which means "dark moth".
- In the European Spanish version, Hawk Moth's name is Lepidóptero, which comes from the scientific order called Lepidoptera, which contains all butterflies and moths.
- According to Thomas Astruc, Shadow Moth was originally going to be called Peacock Moth (Paonpillon in the French dub) but was scrapped because the name wasn't considered dark enough.[46][47]
- "Peacock Moth" is also the name of a number of species of butterflies.
- In "Lies", Cat Noir stated that he believed Shadow Moth should have been called Peacock Moth when he taunted the titular akumatized supervillain.
- Shadow Moth is also a befitting in many ways too.
- As Gabriel not only hid the shadows physically he was also hiding in the shadows of other people when he akumatized them as well as trying to outrun his own.
- Monarch was also a befitting name for Gabriel in many terms:
- As the word "Monarch" itself means king or queen, like how in various episodes Gabriel referred to Emilie as his queen.
- It also means in the terms of power as Gabriel Agreste was the "King of Fashion" in Paris and he also had the status as one of the richest and most powerful people in the world.
- As his Miraculous alter-ego he nearly had all the power of the Miraculouses.
- But also similar to the Monarch butterfly, Gabriel also picked his own poison as he lied to everyone, even himself and his son about his actions and the false promises he made when he akumatized victims.
- The Miraculouses became his own obsession as Master Fu had mentioned in "Kwamibuster" and seen in other episodes and it led to his mind and everything else spiraling out of control.
- When he was caught in "Destruction", he had a choice to admit defeat and live or escape and suffer the effects of Cataclysm.
- Both options led to his shortened life and death as the lifespan of a Monarch butterfly is under a year.
Trivia
- Hawk Moth's appearance was very different from his appearance in the Ladybug PV. In it, he didn't wear a mask, had white hair and silver eyes, and wore a white dress suit with a pale tan vest and bow.
- The design of Hawk Moth's cowl was a reference to the supervillain Fantômas from the 1964 French film with the same name.[48]
- Gabriel was one of the tallest characters in the series.[49][28]
- In some episodes, such as "Reflekdoll" and "Gabriel Agreste", Hawk Moth and Shadow Moth were depicted as taller, although those were probably animation errors, as every other time Gabriel transformed or detransformed, his height stays the same.
- As seen in "Copycat", "Gorizilla", and "Party Crasher", Gabriel's phone number was +33678424.
- Gabriel's car could show holograms of himself, which he used to be seen outside his mansion when he was actually inside.
- Gabriel had a secret safe behind the painting of Emilie in his atelier. It contained a picture of Emilie, tickets from Gabriel, Emilie, and Nathalie's trip to Tibet, a fake Peacock Miraculous[50], the Grimoire, and Adrien's childhood drawing which Gabriel broke in "The Collector".
- In "Volpina", Adrien took the Grimoire, unbeknownst to Gabriel, which eventually ended up in Marinette's hands. Once he discovered that it is missing in "The Collector", despite having the book's pages saved digitally, he became very angry and punished Adrien, due to the book making him a suspect for being Hawk Moth.
- The painting also concealed another secret: access to the entrance of Hawk Moth's lair and the repository. The passage opened when certain spots of the painting were pressed.
- During season 1, when his secret identity was unknown, there were clues suggesting that Gabriel was Hawk Moth:
- Gabriel and Hawk Moth had the same voice actors in many dubs, including English, French, German, European and Latin American Spanish, Italian, and Korean dubs.
- In "The Bubbler", it was not actually confirmed that Gabriel had been kidnapped by the bubbles of the titular villain, especially as he was the one who got Nino upset and akumatized.
- In "Mr. Pigeon", Gabriel was imagined in Marinette's mind with a purple tie resembling the Butterfly Miraculous.
- In "Ladybug & Cat Noir", the silhouette of the civilian form of Hawk Moth was very similar to that of Gabriel, and they seemed to have the same clothes, in addition to having a picture of Emilie inside the brooch.
- In "Simon Says", Hawk Moth stated that "it's risky" when he heard Simon Says say he would take Gabriel Agreste when he never showed any concern for anyone else his akumatized villains endangered.
- As soon as Gabriel was left alone, Hawk Moth appeared and iwa seen to walk ahead, and still, in the same scene, he still seemed worried about what Simon Says was doing.
- After Simon Says caught Gabriel and taken him to the TVi studio, he didn't appear to be scared, instead having a neutral expression on his face.
- When Gabriel was hypnotized, Simon Says told him that he was a butterfly.
- Gabriel proved to be interested in Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.
- In both "Rogercop" and "The Mime", Gabriel wasn't available when Hawk Moth is transformed.
- According to Astruc, Hawk Moth's identity was meant to be a big secret only to kids, not the teens and adults watching the show.[51]
- As revealed in "The Dark Owl", Hawk Moth's intentions for getting Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses was to change a past event.
- In "Zombizou", he mentioned that his cherished wish is linked to love.
- In "Queen Wasp" and "Catalyst", it was hinted that Gabriel's intentions for getting the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses were linked to a promise with Emilie.
- In "Party Crasher", Gabriel mentioned that the past event seemed to be a mistake he and Emilie made.
- The mistake was first revealed to be that Emilie used the broken Peacock Miraculous in the webisode "Gabriel" and was later hinted at in episodes such as "Feast" and "Ladybug". It was finally confirmed in "Evolution" when Gabriel traveled to the past and saw his younger self giving Emilie the damaged Peacock Miraculous as a gift.
- Hawk Moth usually revealed his name to his victims when he corrupted them. However, he never gave out his name to The Evillustrator, Lady Wifi, Darkblade, Animaestro, Miraculer, Gamer 2.0, in their titular episodes, Stormy Weather in "Stormy Weather 2", The Puppeteer in "The Puppeteer 2", and the Punishers Trio in "Félix".
- Despite being busy with a job in his atelier, Gabriel was constantly seen in his lair, as he rarely leaved his mansion. He was always seen by the public through video calls, usually through Nathalie's tablet, except for "Queen Wasp", "Miraculous Shanghai", "Backwarder", "Party Crasher", "Miraculous New York", "Ephemeral", and "Multiplication".
- After he decided to be a better father to Adrien, he started leaving his home more often, for example to attend the parent-teacher conference in "Illusion".
- In "Volpina", Adrien confused a previous owner of the Butterfly Miraculous for Hawk Moth upon seeing his picture in the Grimoire.
- Wilfried Pain confirmed that Hawk Moth also had an origin story.[52]
- Thomas Astruc additionally claimed that season 2 would explain how Hawk Moth found the Butterfly Miraculous[53] although this information was ultimately not revealed in season 2. It was later revealed in "Nathalie as seen by Gabriel" that Nathalie found the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses, as well as the Grimoire, during a trip with Gabriel and Emilie to Tibet.
- In some dubs, Gabriel and Hawk Moth had different voice actors. Examples are the Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Hungarian dubs, only in season 1, and the Dutch dubs.[54][55][56]
- Hawk Moth appeared in every episode of the first three seasons. This made him, alongside Marinette and Ladybug, the only forms of any character to appear in all episodes.
- Similarly, Shadow Moth appeared in every episode of season 4.
- However, Monarch appeared in every episode of Season 5, except in "Emotion".
- Gabriel was the first to unify three Miraculouses together in the series, unifying the Butterfly, Peacock and Cat Miraculouses in "Ephemeral" to become Shadow Noir. However, due to Sass using Second Chance, Shadow Noir was erased from existence.
- Gabriel was the only known person, outside of the Order of the Guardians, to have had all nineteen Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box at some point in time, though he never had them all at the same time.
- As of "Deflagration", he was also the first known person to have worn all nineteen Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box at some point in time in a permanent timeline.
- Additionally, he wore a Miraculous from the Native American Miracle Box, the Eagle Miraculous, bringing the total number of Miraculous wore to twenty.
- As of Season 4 and Season 5, Gabriel holds the record for the most used Miraculous superpowers on a single person, with a total of 14 powers, being Akumatization, Amokization, Mirage, Shell-ter, Burrow, Venom, Wind Dragon, Fetch, Voyage, Multitude, Sublimation, Resistance, Second Chance and Genesis (although the latter was only used by him in a Alternative timeline).
- Aside from Liberation, the only other Miraculous superpowers Gabriel didn't use himself were Lucky Charm, Cataclysm, Uproar, Gift and Clout.
- As of "Deflagration", he was also the first known person to have worn all nineteen Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box at some point in time in a permanent timeline.
- As the Collector didn't leave the lair prior to deakumatizing himself in "Dearest Family", he was the second akumatized villain, following Catalyst in both "Heroes' Day" and "Ladybug", whose akumatization Ladybug and Cat Noir were unaware of.
- In all six episodes, Hawk Moth's transformation was seen in "Gorizilla", "Queen Wasp", "Catalyst", "Stormy Weather 2", "Heart Hunter", and "Miraculous Shanghai", the transformation music was different than the music in all other episodes, making it the only transformation to be different in some way, such the music and the holder's facial expression or clothes every time it appears. The music from "Miraculous Shanghai" was later used during Shadow Moth's transformation in both "Truth" and "Queen Banana", although there were slight changes.
