As to "why" the factions are going after Gabriel, I believe that is the best idea that I have heard in a long while. This gives a main reason to the Fear's movitation.

Aligning himself with a specific fear to achieve freedom from every fear is something that is extremely unconventional. It allows for a much more expansive and complex story while at the same time keeping Gabriel's integrity.

I also had another idea,

Not ALL fears are going to want Gabriel to get The Gate open. Some want him gone or out of the picture completely. This could bring in fears that want him dead or "controlled" bringing in the possibility of EAT and The Choir (who have already appeared in TMT) and other beings to go after him.

Thoughts?
