Raphael

Raphael was the third of the four archangels created by God. He was older than Gabriel but younger than Michael and Lucifer. After Lucifer's rebellion and banishment, Raphael stood by Michael in taking over the Universe.
== Personality ==
Raphael is a stern, serious, and traditionally-minded angel who has lost faith in God and is weary of his duties. He believed that God was dead and that they are living in a godless universe, though he seems to have changed this view. He supports Michael's plan to bring about paradise on Earth. He has little patience with humans, and virtually no respect or consideration for human life. Raphael is also incredibly arrogant, and appointed himself as the distributor of God's will. When asked how he knew that the Apocalypse was what God wanted, he simply replied "because that's what I want." He is also quite ruthless.
Despite this, Raphael was not entirely without forgiveness or mercy, at least when dealing with his siblings.
When backed into a corner or faced with a more powerful being, Raphael can behave cowardly and resort to begging.
== Lore ==
His name means "God Heals". In multiple interpretations, including the Book of Enoch, Raphael was responsible for binding Azazel to a clear, deserted landscape. He was also mentioned in the Book of Tobit, although the Book isn't found in Protestant Holy Bibles. In the Book of Tobit, Raphael healed Tobit of his blindness and delivered Tobit's daughter, Sarah, from Asmodeus.
In Islam, Raphael, under the name Israfel, is the Archangel who sounds the start of Judgment Day. To Roman Catholics, Raphael (venerated as Saint Raphael) is the patron saint of doctors, medical workers and travelers.
He is also said to be the one to slay the Leviathan.
