Gabriel Agreste is a fashion mogul who wields the Moth Miraculous. After his wife Emilie went missing, he used the Moth Miraculous to turn people into villains. He is set on stealing the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses in order to obtain absolute power and his "secret wish." In pursuing this, however, he turned his back on his son, Adrien.

Before Season 1

Gabriel lived in the Agreste mansion with his wife and son. At some point of his life, he went on a trip with his wife where they found the Moth Miraculous, Peacock Miraculous, and the Miraculous spellbook. The book was the last thing Mrs. Agreste gave Gabriel. She went missing within nine months before Adrien was allowed to go to school in Season 1.

Season 1

OR1-(36)

In "Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", he forced Nooroo to explain how the Miraculouses worked and how he could transform using the Moth Miraculous. Nooroo tried to convince Gabriel that the Miraculouses were supposed to be used for good in the world, but Gabriel ignored him and forced the transformation anyway. Hand on his cane, Hawk Moth waited in his lair for the perfect person to akumatize. Sensing Ivan Bruel's anger, he sent an akuma to him and transformed him into Stoneheart. Stoneheart went on a rampage against the city of Paris. Gabriel didn't stay to watch; Adrien disobeyed his orders to stay home and not go to public school. Gabriel went upstairs to the dining hall where Adrien was being homeschooled by Nathalie Sancoeur. He reprimanded Adrien, telling him that he was safe in the house where he had everything he would ever want. Gabriel and Adrien have had this conversation several times.

Satisfied that he properly disciplined his son, Gabriel went back into his lair and transformed back into Hawk Moth. Stoneheart fought against Paris' two new heroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir, but did not succeed in capturing either of their Miraculouses. When Ivan was freed, the akuma returned to Hawk Moth and stayed in the jewel in his cane. Hawk Moth wasn't disappointed though; the akuma multiplied and created more Stonehearts. Laughing, he stood in wait for the next opportunity to akumatize Ivan, pleased that the two people he wanted the most showed up like he predicted.

In "Stoneheart (Origins - Part 2)", Gabriel demanded that Nathalie and Adrien's bodyguard find Adrien, who escaped the house. Gabriel then went to his lair, transformed, and waited for Ivan to lose his temper. Ivan tried telling Mylène Haprèle that he was in love with her through a song, but she rejected him. This led to Hawk Moth re-releasing the akuma to Ivan. When Stoneheart made it to the Eiffel Tower, Hawk Moth made him cough up hundreds of akuma so that he could tell Paris to give him Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. When Ladybug captured the akumas that created his face, he grew angry. He convinced Stoneheart that Ladybug and Cat Noir were trying to take Mylène away from him, bringing Stoneheart back into the fight. However, Ladybug captured Stoneheart's akuma. Angrier, Hawk Moth soliloquized that he would defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir and achieve his secret dream. The next day, Gabriel relented with Adrien and let him attend public school on the condition that his bodyguard drive him to school every day and that he follow Nathalie's updated schedule.

TB Gabriel Refuse 2

In "the Bubbler", Gabriel did not allow Adrien to have a birthday party. When Marinette dropped off a present for Adrien, Gabriel yelled at Nathalie for forgetting to get Adrien a gift from himself. He was visited by Nino Lahiffe in an attempt to change his mind about the birthday party, but he decided Nino was a poor influence on Adrien and banned him from the Agreste mansion. After Nino left, Gabriel transformed into Hawk Moth and sensed Nino's frustration over adults not listening to their children, akumatizing him into the Bubbler. He became angry when Bubbler captured Ladybug and Cat Noir and sent them into the sky instead of stealing their Miraculouses. When Bubbler was defeated, Hawk Moth vowed to catch and crush Ladybug and Cat Noir. Later that day, he received a message from Nathalie that Adrien liked his present.

Once Rogercop is defeated, Hawk Moth declares he'll be ruling the world one day and that Ladybug and Cat Noir wouldn't be apart of it.

He also asked Adrien how he will be able to trust him again and then banned him from going to public school anymore.

In "Prime Queen", Gabriel watched Nadja Chamack’s live interview show with Ladybug and Cat Noir. When her show is canceled, Hawk Moth akumatizes her into Prime Queen. However, she is eventually defeated. Hawk Moth says that Prime Queen was bad news, but next time he would succeed and he would broadcast the heroes defeat.

In "Despair Bear", Hawk Moth heard that Chloé was throwing a party. Knowing of her spiteful nature, he saw it as the perfect place to find a prey for an akuma and sent one to the party.

But when she finally loses her temper and fires her butler, he is delighted by her giving him another victim and akumatized Butler Jean into Despair Bear. After the villain jumped into multiple party guests and eventually Cat Noir, Hawk Moth commanded him to take Ladybug's earrings. But when Ladybug received help from Chloé, that led to another defeat.

He was horribly shocked but decides to go along with it. However, Hawk Moth has a hard time explaining everything to August and yet akumatizes him into Gigantitan. Despite akumatizing the young child, when it came to fighting Ladybug and Cat Noir, he found it difficult to control him with constant distractions such as him playing with the Agreste car and mistaking a traffic sign for a lollipop.

In "Glaciator",

In "Sapotis", after sensing Ella and Etta Césaire's sadness about losing their opportunity to go the amusement park, he sends an akuma to them. Upon the akuma entering the hat the twins were arguing over, he gave them the power to create as much mischief as they want. Seeing Ella and Etta's immense eagerness, he calmed them down and said they won't get punished in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Ella and Etta agree and are akumatized into the Sapotis. Once Ladybug and Cat Noir show up, he commanded the Sapotis' to seize the Miraculous.

After he saw Ladybug and Cat Noir with their new ally Rena Rouge, he reveals his suspicions that there were other Miraculouses in Paris. Hawk Moth remained unfazed as he still had the advantage and told the Sapotis' to ban together and defeat the heroes or else he would take away their powers. When he saw the little monsters following Ladybug to Rena Rouge’s amusement park illusion, seeing right through it, he told them not to go but the Sapotis didn’t listen. Upon the Sapotis' defeat, Hawk Moth proclaimed that he now knows of other Miraculous in the city and maybe a guardian.

In "Gorizilla", he was designing a bag of sorts when Adrien came to ask him for a few minutes of his time. Gabriel accepted his request, much to his surprise and delight. But when he responded, that he'd have Nathalie let him know when he could, his son responded in a dismayed manner that it would be too late. When Gabriel saw Adrien fidgeting with his ring, he sent him back upstairs to practice. After Adrien left, Gabriel pulled up a video from the Ladyblog of Cat Noir running away before he detransforms. He zoomed in on the ring and made the window smaller. How took a picture of Adrien running and did the same. Surprised and disbelieving that his son was the Cat Noir, he marched up to Adrien's room. When he found that he had escaped his room, he chastised Nathalie and Adrien's bodyguard and ordered they find him. Later in the episode, Wayhem tried call Adrien on Adrien's bodyguard's phone, thinking Adrien would respond. Instead, an angry Gabriel responded and demanded he tell him where his son was and return the phone immediately (or face persecution). Wayhem hastily dropped the phone. Gabriel then activated the secret mechanism that led into his lair. When Nooroo asked if he really thought that Adrien is Cat Noir, Gabriel responded by saying he isn't sure, but he knows he's hiding something. He transforms and provokes Adrien's bodyguard to anger and frustration so he can akumatize him. Once he senses his negative emotions, he corrupts an akuma and sends it on its way to evillize the bodyguard. Gabriel akumatizes the bodyguard and sends him after Adrien.

However, when Miss Bustier saw the akuma and tried to defend Marinette, Hawk Moth sensed the teacher's fear of what would happen to her student and commanded it to infect her instead. When the akuma infects her lip balm, Hawk Moth convinces Miss Bustier that he wants to help her spread love and compassion in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir’s Miraculouses. Upon her defeat, Hawk Moth declared that if Zombizou was right about love conquering all, then his most cherished would come true.

In "Syren", sensing Ondine’s sadness over not being able to tell Kim how she feels, he sent an akuma to her. Once Ondine's bracelet was infected, he akumatized her into Syren, a mermaid-like villain that floods all of Paris with her tears.

But when he saw Ladybug and Cat Noir in their new "Aqua Mode", he knew the Miraculouses had hidden powers.
