User blog comment:ImperiexSeed/Gabriel vs Raphael?/@comment-75.1.182.210-20150506033601

I heard people say Raphael's older but realistically Gabriel likely is. The facts are he was trained- at least to a degree- by Lucifier which is how he can make allusions. He also seems to have suffered the most from the infighting as if he knew the brothers more before the war. Although this could just mean he's more sensitive likely it's because Raphael never really knew Lucifier being too young. Going on Supernatural's established angel rank it's more likely Gabriel would win. The fact that Raphael couldn't find him on Earth lends crendience to this belief.
