Archengels

Azrael is seen by the public as a stand up and legendary hero. According to Adam, women love him and men want to be him. To a certain degree, some of what they say is true, but for incorrect reasons. When Azrael appears, he is calm, charismatic, and intelligent, to the point where angels and Winners practically bow to him. In truth, Azrael is cold and emotionless, with pretty much no care for his supporters, all due to his obsession with nihilism and death.

Despite his hatred for them, Azrael is capable of manipulating his followers however he sees fit. When Adam first appeared in Heaven, Azrael immediately recognized his value as the "spokesman" of Azrael's beliefs, and formed a friendship with him, albeit a one-sided one. Azrael hides his true feelings through a charismatic facade, to the point where Sera couldn’t recognize his true self once revealed. Additionally, Azrael seemingly despises demons and even fellow angels as well. The reason he tricked Adam into kickstarting the exterminations in the first place was to prove to his siblings that neither side was capable of redemption or mercy, while simultaneously ensuring that peace between the two sides was almost guaranteed to fail.

Despite his nihilism, Azrael is capable of forming some sort of bond with others. In flashbacks to when he was young, it’s shown that prior to the Root of Evil's creation, Azrael did respect and look up to his siblings, and even in present day, he seems to hold them to a high regard, even if said regard is more so him trying to comprehend their personalities. Additionally, Azrael seems to revel in people who have caused suffering and/or death before, admitting privately at Adam's funeral that that was his greatest quality. This is also the core of his relationship with Odin. Azrael is almost obsessed with Odin and desires to be his greatest enemy with the goal of making Odin succumb to his beliefs. Almost every interaction with the two is Azrael trying to get Odin to fight him. When Luis kills him, Azrael admits that he wished Odin had killed him.

Azrael seemingly treats the Exorcits as his toys, seeing them as a means to drive his nihilistic point of views to the point that if he does bond with any of them, he will have them executed to avoid growing soft. When Uriel questions him, Azrael describes the Extermination as a whole being a game of chess, with the death of anyone being something Azrael will either brush off or outright forget.

Despite Azrael's hammy and exaggerated demeanor, his most chilling characteristic lies in his complete lack of empathy and the immense, sadistic glee he derives in the genocide and demise of demons. He gleefully revels in a twisted, bloodthirsty, childlike joy during the cleansing, having Adam sing rock songs and pose for selfies with the corpses of the slain demons as his legions ruthlessly massacre millions of Hellspawn, going so far as to blame them for their own deaths rather than him. He nonchalantly treats and dubs the Extermination as nothing more than his concert, and goofs around a lot during the cleanse, emphasizing his sense of nihilism as well as how insignificant the genocide of demons is to him.

Similar to the majority of angels, Azrael is very passionate about music, displaying an affinity for rock 'n' roll. Sure enough, when given the opportunity, Azrael shows that he is a skilled musician and songwriter. Within the confines of his palace, the resounding presence of hard and glam rock music permeates the surroundings, establishing an atmosphere that mirrors his preferences and persona. Despite this, he rarely actually plays, thanks in part because when he does, he winds up smashing his guitar in excitement. Michael claims that his smashing of guitars started when he was three.

Azrael believes that, as Heaven's greatest defender, he is entitled to have the complete loyalty and subservience of everyone in Heaven, becoming incensed and easily offended when faced with any sort of insubordination and "disloyalty". He genuinely desires both recognition and love, even if he has never done anything to deserve either. While fine with simply banishing angels for their dissension, he prefers to wipe their memories clean and essentially brainwash them so that they will be forced to love and worship him. He seems unable to actually comprehend the feelings and desires of others, with his mind twisting even people who did what he asks as being annoying.

He loves using his influence to lord over others, especially the lower angels of Heaven. Due to his very delusional nature, he often exploits his lower angels if he needs to accomplish something he himself doesn’t want to do.

Despite his emotionless demeanor, Azrael is more than capable of being deeply insidious and calculatingly cruel, and nowhere is that shown better than his treatment of his own army and friends, Exorcists. Azrael has no emotional attachment whatsoever to the Exorcists, even his "besties" Adam and Lute, and views them as tools to be used for his crusade and pleasure. He evidently doesn't care about any emotional anguish Exterminators might experience while killing demons, insisting that they not think about their atrocities and obey him like the weapons he likens them to. He goes as far as to punish his soldiers for showing mercy to any demons, even something such as sparing defenseless Hellborn children, subjecting his soldiers to public humiliation for their missteps. He is also very psychologically abusive and disparaging to the Exorcists; he shames, catcalls, and humiliates them on a regular basis, uses them as footstools and living bridges, forces them to shine his horns, and carefully reduces their schedules to nothing outside of killing and training so that they eventually start to believe that they are little more than weapons whose purpose is to kill whenever Azrael demands it. He tries to make the Exterminators think that they have no self-worth and forces them to brutally murder sinners so that it gradually breaks down their mental health until they become shells who will never even think to rebel against him, and it mostly works. In the occasion that an Exorcist does manage to rebel against Azrael, he will either brainwash or mind control them using their LED masks, or happily discard them like trash by banishing them to Hell, as was the case of Vaggie (who nearly became a victim in the malevolent archangel's brainwashing ability).

Despite his cruelty, when alone or determined, Azrael becomes outright overexcited and goofy. He and Adam often pulled pranks and practiced music (which led to the aforementioned guitar smashing). His behavior gets to where Emily considers him less scary when emotionless, as that is when he’s less psychotic and more reserved as such. When fully unhinged, Azrael is borderline insane, cutting heads off of demons, throwing people off buildings, and even kidnapping Odin's daughter just force him into confrontation.

Azrael's unempathetic behavior stems from (at least as flashbacks show,) from Roo. After witnessing the carnage of the wars when he witnessed the carnage of angels and Roo's cruelty, alongside the introduction of death itself, he was granted the status of the Archangel of Death, causing him to do nothing but watch as countless people murdered, tortured, and even rape each other and get sent to Hell, where the angels refused to do anything to stop them. This culminated in Azrael's hatred for all sides and to develop a twisted sense of nihilism and psychotic delusions to explain what he had to witness. When Charlie ponders Azrael being redeemed, Azrael refuses to acknowledge the possibility, believing that redemption is nothing but a word people use to excuse their actions. When asked if he could be redeemed, Azrael boasted that he can’t and even he admits that he’s too far gone. He views the angels of Heaven only as devoted worshippers whose purpose is to falsely praise him for his leadership until they are banished or memory-wiped for seeing his true ways, and the angels under his command as disposable objects who are forced to worship him and is all too happy to psychologically torment and discard them for any defiance. Additionally, he is willing to lie and kill to keep his position of power, regardless of the casualties and ruined lives made along the way. Despite this, Michael attempts one last time to get him to redeem himself, with his siblings begging him to turn over a new light, although Azrael refuses, believing he was "always meant to be killed, just as all of you."

Micheal: Regarded as the most powerful angel and humanity's ultimate protector, Michael is the chief archangel of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, the archangel of Humility, and the archangel with the closest divine connection to God, serving as the Most High's sword and shield. He is also the adoptive father figure of Joan of ArMichael is a confident, compassionate, and virtuous archangel, embodying the qualities of a valiant crusader. His unwavering commitment to his beliefs and decisions, along with his cunning, charismatic, and self-assured nature, makes him a natural leader revered by the angels and feared by wrongdoers. He cherishes humanity and will go to any lengths to protect the angels and winners of Heaven, showing a compassionate side to the ones under his protection.

However, while Michael is kind to angels and deeply loyal to his kingdom and family, he is utterly ruthless towards demons, refusing to see any nuance in them besides being beasts of evil, and reveling in their extermination. Despite his formidable presence, Michael is more lighthearted and compassionate off-battle, but becomes serious and dogmatic during conflicts, displaying cold resolve and commanding presence.

In contrast to most of the archangels, Michael finds joy in combat and appears to relish the ongoing conflict against demons. However, unlike the sadistic tendencies of Adam, he does not derive pleasure from inflicting suffering. Instead, Michael's enjoyment stems from the excitement and challenge of battle and the thrill of the hunt, rather than causing intentional torment to his adversaries.

Michael exudes an aura of majesty, responsibility, and steadfast dedication to maintaining the divine order and the principles of the angels' goodwill. He speaks confidently and has a deep understanding of his duty as a guardian of humanity. His demeanor can appear confrontational to outsiders and especially to demons, showing his unwavering commitment to his role as protector. Trust is something that is not easily granted by Michael, reserved primarily for God, the good of humanity, and fellow angels, reflecting his loyalties and the seriousness with which he regards his responsibilities.

While Michael may not boast exceptional intelligence when it comes to non-battle scenarios, he is keenly aware of his limitations and dedicates himself wholeheartedly to defending his beliefs and the things he holds dear, though he remains oblivious to the subtleties of demon intricacies. He is deeply revered by most of his fellow siblings, who follow his orders out of respect and without hesitation. Even Sandalphon, known for her unserious and teasing demeanor and slight resentment towards Michael, follows him in battle.

While he may often exhibit ruthless and inflexible traits with an astounding lack of openness and reason, often keeping his younger siblings out of the loop, Michael still harbors a deep affection for his family and holds humanity dear, considering them an extension of his own kin. Despite the emotional barriers wrought he sets up for good reason, a genuine heart of gold remains buried within him. He made a genuine attempt to apologize to Adam for his harsh treatment, gifting celestial wine to him and Lute to make up for his absence and after Adam's death. and reacting somberly when his brother threw his apology in his face and used it as an opportunity to mock him. His softer side is especially evident in his relationship with Emily, whom he mentors, taught how to read, and cherishes as a daughter figure.

Despite his initially formidable presence, Michael maintains a lighthearted demeanor off-battle and seldom allows himself to be genuinely angered, even in the face of disrespect. Though presumably more merciless in his earlier days, he displayed remarkable tolerance towards Lute's blatant disregard for his archangelic title and held a deep admiration for her fiery nature, though it is likely that he only tolerated her due to her allegiance to Adam, who Michael was attempting to make amends with. He also occasionally indulges in his younger siblings' antics. In moments of conflict or warfare however, Michael seamlessly transitions into a "serious" mode, adopting a demeanor characterized by cold resolve, zero sense of humor, unwavering sternness, and commanding presence, which his siblings enjoy poking fun at, especially Sandalphon. Beneath his facade, Michael's true nature tends to lean more towards childlike immaturity than he's willing to acknowledge, occasionally projecting an excessive intensity that can border on that of an overly intense frat girl.

Although he is rather subtle about it and is not actively violent, Michael is very bloodthirsty and bellicose, living up to being a warrior and archangel. In contrast to Forti, Michael revels in a good fight - whether he's in it or not - and tends to get annoyed when his opponents fail to offer any challenge. Michael indeed relishes the fear he instills in demons, leveraging his control over them to maintain their subjugation within the Shadows of Hell.. Michael is also a ruthless a fighter who will go for the kill even when it is not necessary. He displayed this when he tried to execute Lucifer after brutalizing him during the War in Heaven, even as Lucifer found himself defeated. Though, Michael's fury found its roots in a sense of justification, for Lucifer's heinous actions had entailed the murder of seven of their brethren and had wrought unfathomable devastation throughout the War in Heaven.

Michael deeply lacks an understanding of the intricacies surrounding demons. He holds the belief that Hellborn are incapable of redemption or exhibiting goodness in the manner that a human is capable of. In fact, he laid the foundations of the annual Extermination and played a role in inspiring Adam to implement measures to control their population.

Michael initially harbored a side driven by the pursuit of glory, occasionally leading him to make rash and irresponsible decisions. This was particularly evident when he willingly transferred his role as the commander of the Heavenly Host to the first man, even though Adam was still in his adolescence. Michael's motivation was a desire for personal recognition and the glory of serving God directly, rather than prioritizing the well-being of Heaven as a whole. Initially, Michael displayed indignation when Adam was chosen to serve God alongside his siblings, despite Adam's obvious lack of readiness to command Heaven's entire military. However, as time passed, Michael eventually came to regret his actions, recognizing how he had treated Adam as a mere soldier and burdened him with military responsibilities for selfish reasons.

Michael is quite a showman when not on the battlefield, approaching life with a nonchalant and laid-back attitude. Upon his return to Heaven and his encounter with Adam, Michael displayed an unflinching demeanor, even going so far as to flirtatiously provoke Lute, the most vicious and formidable Exorcist, by gently grabbing her chin. Furthermore, he takes great pride in his accomplishments, often boasting about saving entire timelines as if it were a routine chore. Michael seems at ease in any situation, even when faced with hostility. He enjoys teasing and bantering with Joan, showcasing a sharp wit and a penchant for sarcasm. As the mightiest angel in God's celestial army, he holds the power to mete out righteous retribution to anyone who dares to pose a threat to Heaven and the mortal realm. Michael's unwavering dedication to safeguarding these realms drives him to take bold and decisive action against those who would jeopardize their sanctity.
