-
One of the most powerful beings in creation. The powerful archangel Micha’el (The General) is a fearsome force to be reckoned with which no power of darkness can withstand.
-
The archangel Uri’el. The one thought to be the angel of wisdom by men but who’s idea of wisdom runs more along the lines of: “I’m wise enough not to be clever around someone who can pound them into a smooth paste.” Uri’el is the most battle hardened of the archangels, He is a tanned, muscular, brute with short blonde hair. He eschews the hi-tech armour the malakim wear in favour of his ancient leather and bronze armour which is showing its age. His weapons of choice are two one-handed Spirit Axes which are always either hung at his sides or embedded in the skulls of the Lord’s enemies. He is never seen with the metal wings that most archangels have on their armour. He possesses consummate skill in orbing and de-orbing out of the spiritual realm in order to ‘fly’. A skill known only to a elite few. There are doubtless many warriors even the most skilled Fallen would not want to face in battle, but at the very top of the list of them sits Uri’el.
