## History

Archangel Cassiel once served as a General of the Powers, and was also a lieutenant of Donatello, the commander of The Council of Life's entire military. In fact, Cassiel was one of Donatello's closest Lieutenants. Additionally, Cassiel was also one of the three Breakers, along with Varmiel, Breaker of Stars, and Hamael, Breaker of Skulls. He served as the Breakers' leader.

Occasionally, Cassiel's intent would come under the scrutiny of numerous other angels, due to his rebellious nature and primarily his highly controversial use of Xalnergy.
While Cassiel respects the Ancient Angelic tradition he usually tends to break and bend it to his will and do what he wants.

While Cassiel has one of the most opportunists of chances in becoming one of the High Archangels he decided against it because he didn't saw himself as someone who enjoys politics and leading the future generations of Angels as he himself is like a wild spirit that cannot be contained by rules, laws or chains, as that is his nature and the Grand Seraphim knows very well about his unorthodox nature.

Furthermore, Cassiel is someone that likes to put to practice what he learns, for he has studied under the teachings of how to use Primordial energy at its finest but he wondered why was Xalnergy usage so forbidden, for it held so many opportunities, he thought if someone could wield Xalnergy the world of the Angels would change drastically as that could be passed down from generation to generation, though Cassiel was no fool and he knew about the dangers the Xalnergy had but the temptation was far too great but still Cassiel was not persuaded by the Xalnergy but he sure wanted to make a difference and make it so that it was possible for an Archangel to wield this forbidden power.

## Powers

**Supernatural Condition:** Cassiel's physical and mental abilities are supernaturally superior over other lower races. Even amongst the strongest of Archangels, Cassiel's capabilities exceed far beyond natural levels, making him immensely strong, fast, durable, smarter, etc. He is renowned as being one of the most capable leading Archangels, his most refined feats are standing toe to toe against Archangels such as Michael, Hamael, and Donatello without and with his The Dark Lord form.

**Supernatural Wisdom:** Cassiel is supernaturally wiser than most Angels and Archangels alike. The only other beings wiser than him are The Grand Seraphim and Archangel Auriel herself. His opinion and decision-making skills are regarded as highly. When Donatello turned evil, Cassiel was the only one willing to take up the mantel as Leader of The Council of Life's army. Together with the Five Heavenly Kings and The Grand Seraphim, they granted him the title of leadership.

**Primordial Energy Manipulation:** Cassiel can create, use, shape, and manipulate Primordial Energy.

**Xalnergy Manipulation:** Cassiel is the only Archangel in the entirety of The Council of Life's history that showed the capability of fully controlling Xalnergy without falling into madness. He can create, use, shape, and manipulate Xalnegry just as easily as he can with Primordial Energy.

**Dualism:** Cassiel is the perfect example of a being full of duality. He has been regarded as the perfect embodiment of duality - thus being capable of manipulating Primordial Energy and Xalnergy at his will. Cassiel has stated many times before that there always will be two sides of the same coin. Light and Dark. Order and Chaos. Creation and Destruction. Life and Death. Angel and Demon. He is neither on either side, always in the middle of all things - he is in perfect balance as he always should be.

**Holy Fire Manipulation:** Cassiel can create, use, shape, and manipulate holy flames, which are especially effective against demons and other evil beings and are inextinguishable by normal means. It may also trap and immobilize angels or demons, rather than killing them outright. The color of the flames varies, but usually blue, white, or normal if light shades of fire.

**Hellfire Manipulation:** Cassiel can manipulate the cursed flames of Hell, which can completely destroy anything. The color of the flames varies but may be black, blue, white, or the normal shades of fire, although probably in some way noticeably unusual. Sometimes, the flames are not generated but instead summoned from the depths of Hell itself. Also, it can cause excruciating pain upon contact or instead cause instant death.

**The Violet Flame:** The Violet Flame is the most tangible and most expressive of all the seven Flames in the physical plane. It reflects the quality and relationships that exist between spirit and matter, and due to these properties, the seventh violet Ray is sometimes called ceremonial or magical Ray, a Ray of rhythm, ritual, law, and order, organization, and group consciousness. The rhythm of the violet ray builds, integrates, manifests, and circulates within bodies. The violet ray carries along with the Divine qualities of love, mercy, compassion, spiritual transfiguration and transformation, and freedom.

**Demonic Light Manipulation:** By combining his angelic flames with his hellfire, Cassiel can generate and manipulate the mystical light of hell, which can completely destroy anything. The color of the light varies but may be black, blue, white, or the normal shades of light, etc. Sometimes, the light isn't generated but instead is summoned from the planes of Icelnebratia and The Realm of Life themselves.
