Archangels

**Archangels** are primordial angels that existed long before the creation of the Big Bang, being looked at as Heaven's most fearsome wrath. They are the first and strongest class of angels to be created, making them one of God's first creations. They were created in this order: Michael, Lucifer, Ariel, Raphael, and Gabriel.

## Biography

As the first, eldest and strongest class of God's angels, The Archangels are God's eldest children and creation, as well as God's first and only primordial creations. God created Michael, Lucifer, Ariel, Raphael and Gabriel in this order, these five angels are supreme generals of God's armies. Each archangel are very stronger than normal angels and other supernatural creatures. For example, even though Gabriel is the fifth and youngest of the five Archangels, Gabriel could smite the oldest and strongest demons with ease. When God ask the angels to bow to humans, God's most beloved and cherished son, Lucifer betrayed God and his archangel siblings by corrupting humans and turning them into demons, then God ordered his eldest and strongest son, Michael to cast his brother Lucifer and the demons to a realm known as Hell.

## Characteristics

According to Castiel, they are known in Heaven as absolute, precise and wrathful creatures, as he has called them, "*The most fearsome wrath of Heaven*". Like all angels, their true forms are very intense, and have proven not only harmful but also fatal to humans, though Castiel also claimed that special humans can see their true forms. Their presence on Earth outside a vessel is often visualized as a blinding, pure white light, and their arrival can cause minor tremors, as shown by Lucifer when the Chapel shook as he escaped the Cage, and by Raphael while intervening to protect the prophet Chuck Shurley from Lilith. Their true voice also emits a piercing sound, which has proven to be excruciatingly painful to humans. During a subsequent appearance, Raphael caused the entire Eastern Sea Board to experience a black out and generated strong winds and heavy rainstorms. Shortly before his defeat, Lucifer's presence caused the temperature to drop drastically in Detroit.
It has been stated that Archangels are tethered to prophets. Raphael seemed to be the one who monitored and protected prophet Chuck Shurley. Before his fall, Lucifer was God's most beloved angel; he was considered beautiful, and was well respected in Heaven. Ariel is known as the most compassionate of the Archangels, Gabriel is known as God's greatest messenger of Heaven, Raphael is known as God's strongest healer of Heaven, and Michael is known as the greatest of all angels, as well as God's strongest and eldest angel.

## Powers and Abilities

Archangels are the highest type of celestial being, possessing an immense amount of supernatural power that makes them among the oldest and most powerful beings in the Universe. All five Archangels together are powerful enough to weaken some of the Primordial Entities, the most powerful entity in existence, albeit assisted by God. They possess the powers and abilities that are inherent in all angels, but due to being "the stuff of primordial creation" they are more powerful than any other angel with their power just under that of God himself. Despite their tremendous power, Lucifer himself was afraid of the Shedim, creatures he would not allow to roam free after God locked them in Hell. The Archangels are held in extremely high esteem by angels, being looked upon as "fierce" and "absolute" in power and capability. Archangels have a vast supply of power and can create most things out of thin air. Archangels are shown to be considerably more powerful than the Princes of Hell. While at full power, Lucifer was greatly feared by Asmodeus and Dagon and the weakest archangel, Gabriel, was more than a match for Asmodeus in combat and easily killed him. They are also far more powerful than White-eyed Demons, as Lilith immediately fled in face of the Archangel Raphael's wrath and Michael killed her effortlessly in a single blast. The archangels appear not to have been affected by the Expelling Angels spell as Michael, Lucifer and Gabriel are known to have retained their wings.
