Shemhazai

Shemhazai, also known as Samyaza and Ouza, is a legendary Fallen Angel and the Vice-Governor General of Grigori. He is a close friend with his fellow Cadres, Azazel and Baraqiel.
He is the Fallen Angel of Names, especially Secret Names, of which are under his protection.
==Overview==
Samyaza, also known as Shemhaza or Samyaza, is a fallen angel in Jewish and Christian apocrypha whose name means "infamous rebellion." 
He is the leader of a group of angels called Watchers (also known as the Grigori) who abandoned Heaven to mate with human women and gave birth to the Nephilim. He taught humans various creative arts.
==Appearance==
Shemhazai appears as a tall, fair-skinned man in his early 20s. He has short, slightly-tousled light-lilac hair with bangs covering his right eye, leaving his magenta-colored left eye exposed.
He has circuit-like black tattoos across his body and around his wrists and biceps, as well as a vertical scar running across his left eye and a large scar around his neck. On his back is a stylized black tattoo of the Kabbalistic Qliphoth.
Like all angelic entities in their physical form, he has a total of twelve feathered-wings, with each wing having a wingspan of roughly 13-feet, to demonstrate his former position as a Seraph. In his case, particularly, he possesses a total of twelve owl-like wings, which are a deep-purple in color with the names of each and every single living human written on every feather in gold letters. Brightly-glowed eyes scattered across his wings, placed near the tips of each feather, though they are usually hidden using illusions.
He wears a purple tiger-printed shirt and a black leather jacket with neon-purple lines and rolled-up sleeves, black ripped jeans and an ornate belt attached to many dangling silver accessories and silver-tipped leather stripes, black leather shoes, and a pair of leather gloves. He also wears a black fur coat with white trimmings over his shoulders.
When he first appeared, he was wearing an outfit consisting of a purple beret hat, purple trench coat over a black vest, white pants and black boots.

==History==
Like the rest of the leaders of the Grigori, Shemhazai lost his place as a Watcher and a Seraph of the Fifth Heaven after siring half-Angel offsprings with Edenim called the Nephilim, in addition to teaching humans forbidden knowledge that indirectly caused the destruction of the Edenith civilization and Tellus Mahte, the primordial planet created by the Abrahamic God.
He then joined the Grigori, an organization created by Samael mainly for Fallen Angel, and together with the other Cadres, manipulated the behind-the-scene due to the Archangel's own disinterest in ruling. He officially became the organization's sub-leader after Samael's banishment in the aftermath of the Celestial War.
Several centuries after he became the Vice-Governor General, he met Naamah, the infamous Devil who served as Lilith's retainer, and the two began a on-again, off-again fling despite the hostility between their respective Faction. From their union came the Naamah Clan of the Extra Demons, though the fact one of the head Fallen Angels was their forefather was kept hidden to anyone outside the clan.
Shemhazai is one of the survivors of the Great War and has since assisted Azazel in reforming Grigori and his Sacred Gear research. He also took on the position of Head of the Department of Domestic Affairs, mainly because he was tricked by his boss.
At some point in history, he and Naamah sired three Nephalem named Manāt, al-ʻUzzā, and al-Lāt. All of them would later be worshipped as high goddesses of the pre-Islamic Arabic religion in the Arabian Peninsula prior to the birth of the prophet Muhammad and the creation of the Quran.
Sometimes in the early 1900s, they officially married, with Naamah faking her death and becoming only known as a Low-class Devil that Shemhazai had fallen in love with and married to the supernatural world.

===Harming, Trapping, & Banishing===
*Witchcraft: As witchcraft is a form of magic wielded by witches to oppose beings who are angelic and divine in nature, especially powerful Seraphim such as Shemhazai. There are witchery spells and rituals that can be used to trap, weaken, and possibly hurt him, with some ritual even rumored to be capable of banishing him back to Limbo for an extended amount of time.
*Enochian Magick: As Enochian Magick can affect all angelic beings, regardless of their alignments, it is one of the few Ancient Magick capable of affecting a powerful Cadre such as Shemhazai.
*Brain Penetration: Fallen Angels like Shemhazai can be stunned and immobilized for several centuries by placing large metal spikes blessed in holy rituals inside of their head, as a means of temporarily sealing them.
*Powerful Waves of Energy: Shemhazai, like many other angelic beings, can be hurt by powerful waves of energy. However, for an Fallen Angel of his ranking to receive serious damage from the attack, it will require what can only be described as 10,000 suns going supernova simultaneously in order to generate an energy wave of such proportion.
*Divine Weapons: The divine weapons of the immortal gods, which are crafted from sacred metals and are imbued with their wielder's divinity, can be used to harm angelic beings like Shemhazai. However, for a high-ranked Fallen Angel such as him to be harmed by attacks formed of divine weapons, it will require the usage of the principal gods' Symbols of Power.
===Killing===
*Enochian Weapons: Shemhazai can be hurt and killed using the heavenly weapons made out of Enochian metals. When his physical body is destroyed with an Enochian weapon, his angelic essence will be instantaneously transferred to the Empty until his physical body can be reformed, either by God's divine light or on its own, which will take him a rough estimation of around 1,2 billions years.
**Angel Blade: Like other Angels, Shemhazai can be killed if the killer used his own Angel Blade as the weapon, incinerating his physical body and leaving a burned imprint of his wings on the floor where his body lies. Afterward, his angelic essence will be instantaneously transferred to the Empty until his physical body can be reformed, either by God's divine light or on its own, which will take him a rough estimation of around 1,2 billions years.
**Original Longinus: As the original Longinus are the first Sacred Gears, created from the highest-ranked Enochian metals produced in the Fourth Heaven and forged by the greatest blacksmiths using top-tier Enochian technology, in addition to being imbued with God's divine light, users of the original 13 Longinus can possibly kill a Fallen Seraph such as Shemhazai if they have enough skills and experience. When his physical body is destroyed, his angelic essence will be instantaneously transferred to the Empty until his physical body can be reformed, either by God's divine light or on its own, which will take him a rough estimation of around 1,2 billions years.
*Faustian Weapons: Shemhazai can be hurt and killed using the infernal weapons made out of Faustian metals. When his physical body is destroyed with a Faustian weapon, his angelic essence will be instantaneously transferred to the Empty until his physical body can be reformed, either by God's divine light or on its own, which will take him a rough estimation of around 1,2 billions years.
*Primordials' Weapons: The weapons created and wielded by Primordial Entities can be used to seriously harm and even kill Shemhazai. When his physical body is destroyed with these weapons, there is a high chance that even his soul won't survive the attack and be absolutely destroyed beyond any salvation or resurrection, to the point where only the Omnipotent powers of God can possibly save him.
