The Authority

==Summary==
The Authority was the first angel to condense out of Dust. He falsely declared to the angels who were born after him that he was God, and was worshiped as such. His domain would then spread across many worlds throughout the multiverse, and in each of them, he was believed to be the creator of the Universe. As time passed The Authority eventually began to age and weaken, and so he ceased to make direct contact with the other angels and his mortal subjects, instead selecting the human Enoch and transforming him into the Archangel Metatron, to act as his Regent.
However, as he aged still, The Ancient of Days was betrayed by Metatron, who stole all his remaining power and imprisoned him in a crystal sphere where he could never truly die. For thousands of years, he remained trapped, aging but never truly dying. He would eventually be granted death when William Parry cut his crystal prison open with the Subtle Blade Æsahættr.

Attack Potency: Mountain level (Created the Clouded Mountain, a large floating mountain surrounded by thick storm clouds that are miles high and span the entire horizon) | Below Average Human level (Is a decrepit old man in a state of near-death, where he is almost completely incapable of moving or exerting strength)
Speed: Unknown possibly Omnipresent (with his mind) | Immobile (Incapable of movement on his own), with Below Average Human attack speed (Can still move his arms, albeit, very slowly. He has reached out for Will's hand)

Striking Strength: Unknown | Below Average Human level
Durability: Unknown | Unknown for his crystal prison (Supposedly no being in the multiverse could break it, and Will required the Æsahættr, a blade that can slice through the fabric of reality itself, to shatter it), Below Average Human level for Himself (An extremely old and frail man kept in a state of near-death for millennia. Though his body did survive being gently held and carried by Lyra and Will.)
Stamina: Superhuman possibly Infinite via flight (Angels are tireless) | Below Average (Virtually none; he can't move on his own and is extremely frail and weak. However, he could exert enough energy to take Will's hand when he offered it to him)
Range: Kilometers with most abilities, Multiversal+ for Soul Manipulation, Telepathy, Mind Manipulation, Teleportation / Portal Creation & Illusions | Standard melee range

Note: The Authority turning to dust in the wind is not a demonstration of his lack of durability, as all angels turn to dust in the wind after they become too old
Key: Prime | Current
