Azrael (/æzriˈəl/; Hebrew: עֲזַרְאֵל, romanized: ʿǍzarʾēl, 'God has helped'; Arabic: عزرائيل, romanized: ʿAzrāʾīl or ʿIzrāʾīl) is the angel of death in some Abrahamic religions, namely Islam and Christian popular culture.
These angels (mal'akh) are also variously referred to as memitim (מְמִיתִים, 'executioners, slayers') executioner angels are associated with Samael main angel of death and head of all angels above and below, or Angel of the Lord.
In his second role, he is the angel of death, carrying the souls of Christians to heaven. In this role he descends at the hour of death, and gives each soul the chance to redeem itself before passing; thus consternating the devil and his minions. Catholic prayers often refer to this role of Michael.
Azrael, angel of death is prevalent in a few religions. Depending on the religion, Azrael is either portrayed as a servant of God or as a fallen angel that serves Satan.
Azrael is the name given to the Angel of Death. The Angel of Death appears in numerous religious texts. In the Quran, he is referred to as Malak al-Maut, and in the Zohar, he is called Azriel.
The name Azrael is both a boy's name and a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "help of God". This is the name of Angel of Death in Jewish and Muslim tradition, not a great start for an innocent child -- or a great role model for a teenager.
The four most often depicted in art are: Gabriel, the messenger of God who brought the announcement of Christ's birth to the Virgin Mary; Michael, the dispenser of justice; Raphael, the healer and protector of travellers; and Uriel, the angel of prophecy and wisdom.
Azrael is an Angel and one of Lucifer Morningstar's younger siblings. She served as the Angel of Death and was responsible for collecting Human souls from the dead, to bring them to either Heaven or Hell. She was granted her own unique blade that eradicated anyone killed with it.
According to the Book of Enoch, Azazel (here spelled 'ăzā'zyēl) was one of the chief Grigori, a group of fallen angels who married women.
Michael and Gabriel are recognized as archangels in Judaism, Islam, and by most Christians. Raphael—mentioned in the deuterocanonical/apocryphal Book of Tobit—is also recognized as a chief angel in the Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches.
This time is slightly different, as the chaos comes in the form of Lucifer's family—his cunning twin brother, archangel Michael (also portrayed by Tom Ellis).
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel (Salathiel), Jegudiel (Jehudiel), Barachiel, and the eighth, Jerahmeel (Jeremiel) (The Synaxis of the Chief of the Heavenly Hosts, Archangel Michael and the Other Heavenly Bodiless Powers: Feast Day: November 8).
Each of these angels has different responsibilities: Michael is a warrior, Raphael is a guardian, and Gabriel is a messenger. But they share a common purpose: they act on behalf of God, helping His people and bringing Him glory.
The name is derived from Azazel, a fallen angel in the Apocalypse of Abraham. Here, Azazel is said to have lost his former glory as a servant of God to humans. Islamic philologists construct his name to the words aziz and il (God's dear), depicting him as God's once favorite angel.
Phanuel's duties include bearing up God's throne, ministering Truth, and serving as an angel of judgement. According to The Book of Enoch, Phanuel is the fourth angel "set over repentance and those who hope to inherit eternal life" [Enoch, Chapter 40:9].
Aurora Morningstar, commonly known as Rory, is a central character in Lucifer. She is the Nephilim daughter of Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker. She was raised solely by her mother after Lucifer seemingly abandoned them before she was born, resulting in her resenting her absent father.
However, Lucifer decides that he must return to Hell to keep the demons in line, recognizing that Chloe was his true love, even if Eve was his first. After a tearful goodbye and last kiss with Chloe, Lucifer uses his wings, angelic white once again, to return to his throne in Hell.
Mazikeen is Lucifer's closest friend and perhaps the most lethal demon that currently walks the Earth. While there aren't all that many demons who manage to get out of Hell, Maze accompanied Lucifer on his journey to Earth and has been at his side (more often than not) ever since.
Lilith as Lucifer's Mother
Lilith is a figure from Hebrew mythology who is often associated with demons and other evil beings. She is sometimes described as having wings, and she is said to be the first woman.
Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) has been cast as Lucifer's mom, Charlotte. Like her son, she's gorgeous and quite a handful. Helfer will recur for all of Lucifer Season 2 and the mother/son storyline is expected to be the central storyline of the season.
Therefore, the first creation by God was the supreme archangel followed by other archangels, who are identified with lower Intellects. From these Intellects again, emanated lower angels or "moving spheres", from which in turn, emanated other Intellects until it reaches the Intellect, which reigns over the souls.
In Hermetic Qabalah, Uriel's name is commonly spelled Auriel. He is regarded as the archangel of the North, and of the element of Earth. According to the teaching of the modern Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Uriel is the archangel of North and of Earth, and is thus associated with the vegetation of the Earth.
Saint Michael the Archangel isn't a saint, but rather he is an angel, and the leader of all angels and of the army of God. This is what the title "Archangel" means, that he is above all the others in rank. St. Michael has four main responsibilities or offices, as we know from scripture and Christian tradition.
