Gabriel (craftsman)

Gabriel was a craftsman from Verden who has the distinction of being the inventor of miniature crossbows, possibly wrist-mounted. Gabriels were named after their inventor and marketed as ideal weapons for personal defense from bandits. They became very popular and naturally, also with the bandits. One can only assume that Gabriel died quite wealthy (or given Sapkowski's sense of humour, a victim of his own invention!).
