Uriel

Uriel is an Archangel whose nature and powers are associated with light, darkness, and astronomy. Uriel's name means 'Light of God' and he is known for his vibrant energy and optimism. Uriel often appears to lesser races when they are in their darkest hours, offering them hope or illumination when they need it most. 
Honorific: Angel of the Sun. 
Legion: Nova. 
== Facts: ==
-Uriel's primary role seems to be related to the functioning of astronomical bodies, primarily the movement and function of light in space. His Legion takes their name from the collapsed stars, known to mankind as Black Holes, from which they derive some of their eerie powers. 
-Uriel's powers are based primarily around light and the stars. Sunlight energizes him and he is able to use concentrated blasts of light in battle. It is said Uriel is also able to open up new Black Holes should he so choose. As an Angel with mastery over astronomical and physical forces, he also alter the ambient environment to his advantage, often drastically increasing regional gravity to crush opponents, or causing people to explode due to the protons of their bodies accelerating too fast. 
-Uriel is known to spend much time in meditation... while inside the sun. The unbelievable heat does nothing to this powerful Celestial who hails from other Realms entirely. 
-Uriel is more than a inner-planetary tinkerworker, he is also a patron of those who spend much time in thought and reflection. Philosophers, writers, poets, astronomers and physicists frequently find themselves under his protection and guidance. 
-Uriel is not well known today, but in times past his was a household name, especially in the Eastern Roman Empire. Uriel is celebrated on November 8th with the Synaxis of Bodiless Powers, a special feast of many Eastern Christians. It should be noted that during the Dark Ages, while Western Europe was bogged down in the mire of feudal life, the Eastern Byzantine Empire was a stronghold of cultural light and technological progress in comparison. 
-Uriel and his Legion suffer from their Archangel's primordial association with Lucifer. Lucifer, before his fall, was the 'Light-Bringer,' a position of great importance in Heaven. It appears Lucifer and Uriel were what lesser races could describe as friends, and after Lucifer's fall, Uriel's loyalty became suspect.
