Zekiael

Goofy, playful, and irreverent — often calls Vatican authority “tight collars”

Sarcastic, prone to one-liners, yet hauntingly insightful

Quiet when not directly engaged; often found listening to obscure religious hymns remixed into techno

Deep loyalty to Alexander and, unexpectedly, to humanity

Shows signs of knowing far more than he lets on — especially concerning divine structure.

Appearance: Zekiael is a man of average build and pale complexion. He has short black hair which frays slightly at its ends, and dead-looking black eyes adorned with heavy eye-bags underneath.

Underneath his coat is the regular long-sleeved white shirt and red tie, and then a black vest, both of which are tucked into his belt. Written on the left breast of his coat is 'NO.O5' and 'ZEKIAEL' on the side. Always has wireless earbuds in.
