Raziel

Raziel is a powerful Archangel whose name means 'Secrets of God.' It is a name he lives up to, for Raziel is renowned as a seeker of the unknown and keeper of secrets. Raziel is every bit the warrior so many of his fellow Angels are, but he is a warrior of knowledge who seeks understanding in all things. 
Honorific: Angel of Mystery. 
Legion: Arcanus. 
== Facts: ==
-Raziel is a sly one who uses cunning and misdirection as often as he does force. Raziel's followers tend to be the 'brains over brawn' type, the same as he is. Raziel is an expert in Celestial Magicks. 
-Raziel moves in the world of the occult, seeking out dark and forbidden knowledge. He values information above all else and those who follow him consider knowledge more valuable than any currency. If you want to win a favor from Raziel or one of his own, give them something esoteric and you'll win a prize. 
-Raziel is highly active in the world paranormal investigations. He often takes human form and masquerades as an expert in the supernatural, trading favors or just helping humanity accumulate occult lore.
-Because of his dealings with dark and unknown powers, Raziel is seen as something of a wildcard. While accepted by other Celestials, he is clearly kept at arm's length and the same can be said of his Legion. What's worse, however, are rumors that he is willing to deal with anyone for the chance at more knowledge, even going so far as to traffic with certain Infernals. 
-According to Jewish myth, Raziel penned a work called the Book of Secrets and gifted it to Adam. However, other Angels, fearing what Adam might do with such knowledge, absconded with the book and buried deep in the lightless depths of the sea. 
-Raziel has been very involved in human history, rubbing elbows with some of the greatest illuminaries produced by mankind. Adam, Enoch, Abraham and Solomon supposedly knew him by his real name. 
-Surprisingly, in this technological age Raziel has taken on a new aspect. Raziel has always been a firm believer in the dissemination of knowledge. Today, that same attitude is championed by believers in free-press, open internet, and white-hat hacker types. Raziel now moves among their circles as well, seeking to help arm those who champion revealing the truth to the masses.
