Verchiel, Angel of Death

Verchiel is one of the supernatural entities responsible for transferring the soul of a dead person to the spirit world. Her origin is not very clear, while some say she is a forgotten angel of the Catholic faith, others such as witches believe she is the creation of the mother goddess of darkness responsible for seeking the souls of the dead to bring them to her astral judgment. Some say that Verchiel is a daughter of Saint Appius who was transformed into a spiritual being in charge of death.
In some cases, Verchiel is able to actually kill the victim, leading to tales where she can be bribed or cheated in order to keep their life, there are also those who beg her to let them stay on earth as in the case of Lacey Vatore. Verchiel's function is just to sever the last ties between soul and body and to guide the dead into the other world without having any control over the fact of the victim's death.
== Powers ==
Verchiel is one of the entities responsible for the transition between the physical world and the spiritual world, she is not a deity, a goddess, but a subordinate entity of other superior beings, whose function is to seek them to lead them to life after the death. Not being a goddess, Verchiel has limited powers, is not able to bring back someone who has already made the definitive passage to the afterlife, but she does manage, in some cases when allowed, to spare someone's soul and not take it in that day.
Verchiel is one of the gates of the immaterial world, able to open or close the doors to spirits and ghosts, thus allowing or blocking their access between the two worlds. She could not resurrect Lacey as her body was damaged by a stake driven into her chest, however, allowed her spirit to remain on earth and live normally.
