The **Four Great Archangels** are the four most powerful archangels of Heaven, formed by the angelic quartet of Joshua, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.

## Overview

These supernatural angels sit at the top of the heavenly domain under God himself and command the entire council of those divine beings. They are the superiors over all angels, but they are also able to deliver powerful messages when directed to do so by God.

## History

After the War in Heaven, due to the pivotal role of Joshua, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel in the expulsion of the Morning Star and Devil from Paradise, God decided to organize the most powerful archangels of the Seven Heavens into a group formed by them. They would now be the patrons of all other angels, including the other true archangels.

During the Great War, the Four Great Archangels led the armies of God to fight against Lucifer and Satan with the Legions of Hell and Satanael and his Grigori, the latter of whom would retreated later. The war ended after the temporary re-awakening of The Beast and all three sides made a cease war after losing many members on all sides, creating a Cold War-like dynamic.

## Myths and Legends

In the Book of Enoch, it is mentioned that after the Watchers corrupted mankind with various sins and created the Nephilim, humans cried out to the God of Gods for mercy, and God sent His four agents: Joshua, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel, each with a mission to fulfill on Earth. Uriel was to announce the Coming of the Great Flood, Raphael was to bind Azazel's hands and feet and cast him into the Darkness. Gabriel was to kill the Nephilim, And Joshua was supposed to announce the Watchers' crimes.

## Members

 Gabriel | Gabriel is God's personal Messenger, known to have announced the birth of the Holy Child and to be the most active angel in the earth sphere. Gabriel was nicknamed the Left Hand of God and sometimes appeared as a female angel, in contrast to Joshua who is the right hand of God and a male angel.
 Raphael | Raphael is Heaven's physician and an expert in the art of healing, yet he is not an angel to be underestimated, as some say he is the most powerful of the archangels. It was he who cured Sarah of her infertility, and it was he who along with Gabriel decimated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah under God's command.
 Uriel | Uriel is the archangel of fire and the sun, known for announcing to patriarch Noah the coming of the Great Flood. He is also the archangel of mathematics and numbers and an inhumanly skilled kabbalist.

### Possible Members

Despite being officially four, some other archangels are eligible to become Grand Archangels in the future, which may increase the number of Celestial Princes, but nothing is confirmed yet.
