Archangel

The messenger. The angel who explains Daniel's visions, announces two births in Luke, and in Islam delivers the entire Qur'an.

The warring archangel: prince of Israel in Daniel, captain of the host in Revelation, and the only angel the New Testament calls an archangel outright.

The healer, whose name means 'God heals'. He spends the Book of Tobit disguised as a human travelling companion, which makes it the longest sustained portrait of an angel anywhere in the biblical corpus.

'Fire of God' — the archangel of the fourth seat, never named in the canonical Bible, and formally struck from the approved list by a Roman synod in 745.

The archangel who takes vengeance on the world of the lights — and one of those condemned by name at the Roman synod of 745.

Set over those who rise — the archangel of the resurrection and of true visions.

One of the seven archangels of 1 Enoch, set over the spirits who sin against the spirit. Canonical scripture never names him.

The angel of death, who separates the soul from the body. Named as an office in the Qur'an and by personal name only in later tradition.

The angel of the trumpet, who will sound the blast that ends the world and the second that raises the dead.

Named in later Christian devotion rather than in scripture — traditionally the angel with the flaming sword at the gate of Eden.

Keeper of divine secrets. The book of all knowledge he is said to have given Adam is the archetype every later grimoire is imitating.

Angel of the sefirah of severity, whose name is close enough to Samael's that the two are repeatedly confused in the sources.
