Zauriel (Post-Crisis)

==Summary==
Once a proud member of Heaven's Eagle Host Angel Guard, Zauriel chose to descend to Earth upon falling in love with a mortal he was tasked to watch over. Hunted by his ex-comrades led by Asmodel, as he had also learned of his secret plans to overthrow the Presence, Zauriel was rescued by the Justice League, who he then aided in repelling the angel invasion.
