**Amenadiel** is the eldest of all God's Malakh and serves as a central character in the tv series Lucifer. He embarked on his own journey of growth and ultimately became one of Lucifer's closest allies. As the eldest Malakh in the family, Amenadiel was one of God's main enforcer and messenger for the majority of his lifetime, as he would be involved in fulfilling his Father's most important orders. These acts ranged from overseeing the banishment of Lucifer Morningstar, cursing Cain for killing his brother Abel and traveling to Earth on God's behest in order to send Lucifer Morningstar back to Hell so he could resume his duties as the Sovereign of Hell, as the latter would often become bored and leave his post. He was eventually tasked with blessing a woman who was unable to have a child, resulting in the birth of Charlotte Wright.

However, due to the sins he committed, Amenadiel temporarily loses his powers and also loses his seat on the Celestial Council as punishment, becoming not only human but a fallen angel. Spending over a year as a human, Amenadiel not only eventually regains his powers, but is also promoted to the rank of Seraphim, making him more powerful than before.

## Personality

Amenadiel is very head-strong, loyal, determined, disciplined, honorable, and righteous. Lucifer once described him as a "major power-hungry dick", though he admitted that he and their other siblings all looked up to Amenadiel. He is extremely loyal to his Father, God, and has shown great determination to complete whatever task he believes God wants him to do.

While not initially evident, it becomes clear that Amenadiel is jealous of Lucifer’s place as God’s believed ‘favorite’ son (Helel, which is translated as ‘God’s favorite’). He is thrilled when, having read in an untitled ancient tome that the key to Azrael’s blade, the missing third piece was given to God’s favorite son, and assuming that the piece was in Lucifer’s possession, he realizes that it was given to him - in the form of a necklace he always wears.

Like his brother Lucifer, Amenadiel is physically handsome, well built, and has a powerful physique. Amenadiel initially shows disdain towards Hell and Earth. He rejects becoming the sovereign of Hell nor does he want to live on Earth. He looks down at humans and once called humans who were with Lucifer "poor creatures" who "know not what they do." However, after living on Earth he begins to understand humans more and even falls in love with one.

While generally trying to do "good", Amenadiel has at times deviated. While trying to force Lucifer to go back to Hell, he lied to and manipulated Dr. Linda Martin. He also resurrected Malcolm Graham from Hell for Malcolm to kill Lucifer. Amenadiel sacrifices a lot to be the "good son" but is never rewarded for all he does. However, Amenadiel is not without remorse; when he befriended Linda to manipulate Lucifer, he truly thought of her as a friend. When he realized, his action had led to people being hurt, he felt guilty and sought to make things right.

When Amenadiel fell from grace, he started to become weary of God's choices. He believes God is testing him, but he is confused about what he should do. He had concluded that Lucifer is his test, that God wants him to be there for Lucifer and be his "brother's keeper."

Amenadiel hides the fact he still cares deeply about Lucifer, but still acts in his best interest. When he saw Lucifer was on the verge of crying after using his emotional pain to ignite the Flaming Sword, he stopped The Darkness from forcing him to keep trying when it failed to stay lit. Of all the Angels, Amenadiel was one of the first to back Lucifer to replace the Heavenly Host's second in command, however, Lucifer declined.

During his eulogy at Dan's funeral in, Amenadiel admitted that when he first came to Los Angeles, he was angry and confused about his place in the world; he had always just done what God wished, never really thinking for himself. After he fell and became mortal, he had no idea how to interact with humans; however, Dan helped him learn how. It was this friendship that helped him learn how to be a good man and how to be a good father to Charlie. Because of such, Amenadiel chose to follow Dan's choice of profession of being a detective; both because it was righteous and to help others (by fighting the racism within the system).

## Powers and Abilities

Being the very first Malakh, Amenadiel is, therefore, a very old, very strong, and very powerful celestial being. He possesses many vast supernatural powers and abilities inherent in all Malakh and, as the oldest, he is shown to possesses them at the highest level for a Malakh and is also shown to be more powerful than demons like Maze. However, he is known to be less powerful than higher-ranking angels, such as Lucifer. However, due to his actions he committed on Earth, Amenadiel was punished and became a fallen angel, losing his powers as a result. Furthermore, when Amenadiel was weakened and his wings are damaged, he was still stronger than normal humans, as shown when he held off three hospital security guards.
