*"I believe that something new is happening out there,"*
―Samael
**Samael** is the Fallen Archangel of Death, Toxins, Poisons, Justice, and Destruction, the incarnation of the Venom of Anu, the 2nd Angel of Death, and the only True Archangel to have been created alone. Formerly the known as the Seducer, he fell from grace after causing the Fall of Mankind and became a tempter of sorts towards humanity, corrupting many of them to the point that they were sentenced to Hell after they died.

Samael was responsible for the Demon Incursions alongside his wife Lilith. Because of his transgressions, he was imprisoned within Hell for all time.

## Early History

### Childhood

Samael was created shortly after Raguel and Remiel, making him the middle born of the True Archangels. Unlike the rest of his siblings, he was born alone, which would have a profound impact on him.

Raised by the first 5 True Archangels, Samael proved to be the worst fighter among his siblings. However, he possessed an innate charm and powers over death to make up for his lack of skill. He would eventually be sent to the Veil alongside Azrael and Sariel to learn how to master his death powers.

### The Heavenly Host

After many years, the rest of the angels were created and Samael was tasked to train them. Despite being a competent leader in his own right, he preferred to have fun and instead left most of the leadership and training duties with his older sister Jophiel. He also formed the Heavenly Host along with his fellow True Archangels, although he was less active than them.

### The Eternal Conflict

Eventually, Samael and his siblings would notice the arrival of the demons, who were lead by the Archdemons and Shedim. Along with Azrael and Sariel, he induced death into the demonic ranks and defeated Azmodan, the greatest warrior among the Archdemons.

When the conflict drew to an end, it was Samael who came up with the idea of imprisoning the Archdemons' souls in order to prevent them from causing chaos in the world ever again.

### The Dark War

Despite their initial victory, the True Archangels soon discovered the existence of the Outer Gods, who were so terrifying that even Samael was genuinely scared of them.

When the Dark War started, Samael was sent after Magnum Innominadum and his creations along with Azrael, Sariel, Jophiel, and many Angels of Death and Cherubim. Despite their victory, they lost many of their siblings and Samael was corrupted, which made him even more reckless than before.

### War in Heaven

Tensions between the True Archangels started rising when humans were created and Anu ordered them to guide them with Samael being in charge of seeing if they were able to resist temptation. Although he was interested in humans, he merely saw them as things he could play with and made it clear in front of his siblings. This resulted in several heated arguments between him and Michael. Their relationship only became more strained after Samael took his job as the Seducer too seriously and caused the Fall of Mankind.

After the incident, Samael was approached by Lucifer, who convinced him to join his rebellion. Even though their side seemed to be gaining the upper hand at first, the True Archangels managed to trick them, defeated the rebels, and casted them out of Heaven, including Samael.

### Meeting Lilith

While in Hell, Samael met Lilith and immediately started courting her due to her beauty. To his surprise, she outright rejected him. Still, he kept on trying until he finally got her to go on a date with him. Soon after, the two became lovers.

Together, the couple took over Hell, forced the demons to bow down to them, and went around siring thousands of children. Samael was having so much fun to the point that he hardly participated in helping Amenadiel and the fallen angels resurrect Lucifer. When Amenadiel confronted and accused him about not caring about anyone except himself, Samael took the words harshly and the brothers became estranged.

### Demon Incursions

Samael and Lilith travelled to Earth and allowed their children to roam free on it. He also started to corrupt every human he could see, driving humanity down a path of chaos and corruption. 200 other fallen angels followed his actions; they became known as the Watchers. These events became known as the Demon Incursions, with thousands of demonic hybrids invading the world and terrorizing humans.

The Demon Incursions prompted the True Archangels to take action with Uriel helping the non-corrupted humans building boats, Gabriel killing the Nephilim, Raphael subduing Azazel, the leader of the Watchers, and the rest of the True Archangels arresting the rest of the Watchers.

Samael was also confronted by Michael with his sword, Glorious, and the two of them started to duel. When Lilith attempted to help her lover, she was confronted by Gabriel. Despite putting up a good fight, Samael was defeated and he was taken to Heaven alongside Lilith, where the couple was cursed by Michael to be infertile and never be able to leave Hell.

## Personality

Samael is described as a handsome yet cocky man who rarely takes anything seriously and often jokes around. Michael stated, though not innacurately, that he is irresponsible. This was seen when he hardly participated in reaping human souls and left the task of leading the Cherubim with Jophiel. However, he is a very fun person to be around and knows how to make someone feel better. This should not be mistaken for genuine care, as he views most beings as his play things and will not hesitate to throw them away once he's done.

As the Venom of Anu, Samael possess a good yet cruel sense of humor. He is extremely sadistic, often tormenting condemned souls and toying with his victims. Like his older brother Lucifer, he believes that humans are unworthy of divine assistance and constantly seeks to tempt more humans down the wrong path.

Although originally displaying a cold and uncaring attitude towards his children, this changed after he was castrated by Michael. Not only did the incident caused him to harbor deep and immense hatred towards Heaven, but he came to truly love his children, shown when he protected Varian and raised him with kindness.

Despite his sense of humor, Samael is not immune to fear as he was worried about the existence of the Outer Gods. Furthermore, when he heard about Sargeros, he was scared enough to send Varian after him. When he learned that the Nephalem was actually Lucifer's son, he did his best to avoid his older brother, worried about his reaction upon discovering that he sent an Arch-Nephilim after his only son.

## Physical Appearance

As the Seducer, Samael is an incredibly handsome man with dark brown hair and hazel eyes but with the mysterious aura typical among Angels of Death. He is often seen wearing black and gray colors since those are commonly associated with death. Samael always looks neat, clean, well put together, and fashionable, no matter the time period.

In his true form, his turn dark green like poison, six dark gray wings appear, and his body emits smoke that is extremely toxic for living beings.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Lower Tier Omnipotence (2nd Strongest Abstract Identity):** Samael is described as a very powerful being and the most powerful angel Anu has ever created, surpassed only by Michael and Lucifer. His status as the Seducer and an Angel of Death combined with his impressive strength enables him to defeat several True Archangels during the War in Heaven. After falling from grace, he became even stronger due to his newfound position as the King of Hell, although he was still unable to defeat Michael.
	+ **Nigh Omniscence -** As an Archangel, Samael holds a vast amount of knowledge about the universe and there is little that he does not know. Samael knowledge was greatly amplified when he was banished in Hell and he learned everything about Demons and the Primordial Beings conflict that brought the world to become what he now sees.
		- **Omnilingualism -** Samael can speak, read and write in every language in the universe.
		- **Necroscience -** As the Angel of Death, Samael also knows a lot about death and Anu send him to the Veil to learn more about his powers, granting Samael a vast knowledge about death itself and becoming capable to easily see when someone is in danger and when he is dying.

		- **Destruction -** As the Destroyer, Samael is described as being very powerful and capable to cause the greatest amount of destruction among his siblings, surpassing even Lucifer, since his destructive powers are much greater and far more dangerous. Samael's destructive powers made him the most feared creature in Hell after Lucifer and very few beings dare to importunate him, afraid of how he could react.
	+ **Archangel Smite -** As an Archangel, Samael has a smite that is powerful enough to kill even First Sphere Angels, although not with ease. Samael's smite allows him to kill his opponents by just gesturing toward them, making Samael very deadly and capable to kill even some Primordial Species Level Entities, since he can weaken his opponents with his death aura.
	+ **Energy Manipulation -** Samael is capable to manipulate all the energy around himself and use it for whatever he wants: he can either absorb it and empower himself or use it to form powerful attacks that will put many of his foes on the ground.
		- **Energy Perception -** Samael can detect and perceive all the energy that flows in a universe, even all of creation or existence itself, making him capable to understand if it is safe to use it.
		- **Energy Blast -** When Samael fought against Michael, he could conjure up powerful bluish energy blast to weaponize against Michael. Michael had difficulty blocking the energy projections and another energized blast was sufficient enough to overpower Michael and break through his invulnerability to injure him and cause him to bleed, especially since Samael was using his presence to weaken Michael.
	+ **Immortality** - As the third oldest archangel, Samael has an infinitely long lifespan. He is the third Angel and has existed before the universe itself, making him well over 13.8 billions years old. He does not tire, and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain himself.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability** - Samael cannot be killed by any conventional weapon. Even Holy Fire was only able to banish him for a short time. Samael is resilient to Holy Fire, although he still found it agonizing, damaging and being able to banish him; but unlike other angels, it couldn't kill him.
	+ **Advanced Superhuman Healing: Samael** is able to heal it instantly and completely. For instance, he was set ablaze by Holy Fire, but upon his return minutes later, he didn't have a scratch either on his skin or even his clothing. Micheal cannot however heal if he is injured by someone stronger than him.
	+ **Angelic Manipulation -** As an Archangel, Samael is capable to manipulate the mind and body of almost any Angel, with only Archangels capable to resist his powers: Michael and Lucifer are the only one that are immune to it, while every other Archangel can be at least affected by Michael's powers, although to a smaller degree.
		- **Angelic Banishment -** Samael can easily banish any Angel back to Heaven or Hell, depending on their status.
		- **Angelic Control -** As an Archangel, Samael is capable to take control of weaker Angels, showing a particular affinity into forcing them to tell him the truth or reveal their deepest secrets when he concentrate on them. Archangels are immune to this power.
		- **Angelic Possession -** Samael is capable to posses weaker Angels and speak through them, using their bodies to talk to the others and he is also capable to use their abilities with ease. He has done this in the past and treated his younger siblings like puppets.
	+ **Wings Manifestation -** Samael can project three pairs of wings, since he is an Archangel and he can use them for various capabilities. They carry special powers and they are his main source of strength.
	+ **Angel of Death Magic** - As an Archangel and later the Aspect of Death, Samael is fused with a vast amount of both angelic and death magic that allows him to manipulate the powers of death, making him a dangerous opponent, since his mere presence is enough to weaken his opponents. Samael can also uses his magic to nullify the life in his foes, killing them.
	+ **Healing/Purification -** As an Archangel, Samael has an advanced healing power and he can heal and purify many creatures, however, he cannot purify or heal others from injuries that are above his power. With injuries and curses inflicted by Archdemons, Samael requires the assistance of an other Archangel to heal the injured one.
	+ **Necromancy - A**s the Aspect of Death, Samael can summon and control ghosts and deceased beings, making him extremely dangerous.
	+ **Necrokinesis -** As the Aspect of Death, Samael mere presence is enough to bring his foes near to their death. He can force the dead to fight for him. This power will cause anything equal to him feel like if they are dying, since they will see their life force being absorbed by Samael, like if he is siphoning it.
	+ **Necrogenesis** **-** Samael's presence is strong enough to weaken his foes, allowing him to make them vulnerable to weapons that otherwise would not hurt them, making him extremely dangerous. Michael is very scared of this power, because Samael can make him less powerful while he simply stays around him. Samael's touch is enough to kill an ordinary angel and severely weaken a common Half breed.
	+ **Death Embodiment** **-** Since Samael embodies Death, he cannot be killed in ordinary ways, but he must be killed with the power of death, otherwise any attack will simply go through him like if nothing happened. This makes Samael maybe the most difficult Archangel to kill, showing that not many can actually hope to end him; however this power can only partially protect Samael from those that are more powerful than him
	+ **Elementokinesis -** Samael can control and use some elements to his liking, however, he controls more than other Angels because of his powers as the Aspect of Death.
	+ **Aerokinesis -** As an Archangel, Samael has immense control over the winds and he can easily create powerful storms that he can use to cause vast damage all around himself.
	+ **Electrokinesis -** Samael has control over electricity and he can use it to generate powerful lighting bolts that can cause serious damage to many creatures: when he wants, he can also empower this bolts with death magic, making them far more lethal.
	+ **Toxikinesis -** Samael can manipulate all the poison in the world in every way he wishes, allowing him to use it into his weapons, making them far more deadly. Samael can also create poisonous beings, allowing him to use them as minions to kill his foes: Samael's poison is strong enough to kill even Michael, but it would take a great amount of it before Michael is overwhelmed by it.
		- **Poison Emission -** Samael can also generate poison auras that allows him to kill even Primordial Species beings, however they can resist its lethal effect. Samael can also poison the air around himself with his mere presence, since he is the Aspect of Death.
	+ **Pyrokinesis -** Samael can control fire and use it as a powerful weapon, allowing him to burn his opponents when he wants: Michael usually uses his fire to either cause his enemies to burn or to find a way out from some traps.
		- **Sancti-Ignikinesis -** Despite his falling, Samael can still control Holy Fire and use it to cause extra damage to Demonic beings, allowing him to burn the evil of his opponents and use it to empower his fire. Michael also generates Holy Fire from his personal weapon, Glorious.
	+ **Photokinesis -** Samael is an Archangel and as such he holds the highest level of light concentration and he is capable to manipulate and shape all the light in the Universe, bit to a level that is far inferior to Lucifer and he cannot defeat powerful creatures such as Outer Gods, superior to him.
		- **Holy White Light Manipulation -** Samael can manipulate the white light and use it to generate powerful attacks that can kill even some untrained or young Arch-Nephilims. When Samael empowers himself with his death and angelic magic, he becomes capable to defeat.
