Michael

**Michael** is the leader of the Angels and Seraphs. He is one of the God of the Bible's creations, who took his place as leader after he died in the Great War. His current goals are to recreate the lost members of Heaven (mainly the Seraphim) and guide the Church with God's teachings. Upon the implementation of the Brave Saints system, he became King of the Suit of Spades ♠.

## **Appearance**

Michael has the appearance of a handsome-looking man with long blond hair and green eyes. Like Azazel, he has twelve wings growing from his back, and unlike other Angels whose wings are white, his wings are colored gold, further symbolizing his position as the former leader. He wears a red robe with a gold cross on the front of his white alb. He has golden shoulder plates with a white sash and a golden halo set above his head

In the anime, his eyes are shaped in a perpetually sad manner even when genuinely angered or happy.

## **Personality**

As leader of the Angels, Michael in his few appearances has shown to be extremely kind and compassionate. However, he will put the good of the many above the good of the few, as shown when he allowed **Asia** to be banished in order to preserve the religious faith of the Christian people and not risk the safety of Heaven. Michael is extremely loyal to his creator the God of the Bible. After his death, Michael did everything he could to maintain the religion of Christianity, leading the Angels and guiding the Church. He is even willing to be allied with the Angel's former enemies of Fallen Angels and Devils to ensure the Angels survival as a species.

Despite being an Angel, Michael lacks any of the prejudice and bigotry that a lot of Angels bear towards Devils and Fallen Angels due to his immense kindness, and is perfectly willing to show kindness to or even befriend them. This is shown in his first interaction with Sasuke, where he showed courtesy and politeness.

Despite his kindness, Michael can be merciless towards evil people like Rizevim as shown when Michael outright stated to Rizevim he will show no mercy.

## **History**

One of the first creation and right-hand man of the Biblical God, Michael served as the leader of the Angels and assisted the Biblical God in the Great War against the Devils and Fallen Angels. After God died in the Great War, the Angels were forced to retreat as Michael and the other Seraphs try to activate the Heavens' system and were successful in activating it with Michael as the center as he takes over the place of his Creator as the supervisor of the Heavens' system.

## **Powers & Abilities**

**Immense Light Power:** As an Angel, Michael has the ability to use light to create various effects. As one of the Four Great Seraph, more so the Archangel, his light powers are superior to that of others, even among the Seraph.

* **Light-Based Weapons:** Being an Angel, Michael is able to form various weapons and attacks from light. Michael's ability in creating and using weapons of light is vastly superior to regular Angels, able to quickly create a gigantic spear of light as shown when he attacked Rizevim.

**Immense Strength:** As the former leader of the Seraphs and Angels, and the only Archangel along with being the only Angel with twelve golden wings, Michael is the strongest Angel and likely wields power equivalent to a Satan-Class Devil.

**Master Magician:** Michael has expert knowledge when it comes to various kind of magic spells common to those of holy and angelic magics and rune symbols.

* **Defensive Magic:** Michael can create very powerful barriers that protect Team DxD from his own light attacks directed at Rizevim.

**Holy System Control:** Michael's true power, however, comes from the fact that he is now the one in control of the system created by God in the distant past, which is what causes harm to Devils who come into contact with blessed objects, provides miracles, and determines who can be saved. Unfortunately, with Michael in charge, the system is vastly inferior to how it was with God running it.

**Flight:** Being an Angel, Michael can use his twelve golden wings to fly.

## **Trivia**

* Michael's name means "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God.
