They're the main characters of two... particularly infamous reboots of two widely beloved franchises. This is largely due to the myriad of drastic changes made to their respective narratives and the overall personalities of their protagonists. Their origins have been seriously altered, they've been made into more overt anti heroes than their predecessors, and by the time of Lords of Shadow 2, the main settings of their stories take place in massive, dystopian, urban environments ruled by bloodthirsty demons, where most ordinary humans have little chance of surviving on their own. All things considered, they're still firmly on the side of good in the long run, though Gabriel did suffer a major descent into villainy with his transformation into his timeline's Dracula. On the other hand, that would also give them a good reason to fight in-universe.
