Raguel Saklas

**Raguel Saklas**, also sometimes known as **Akrasiel** or **the Angel of Judgement**, is one of the three archangels born to God and Asherah. As the youngest, he is the weakest, but as the third born son of God he is still one of the most powerful and high beings in existence. His judgement is free of bias, and as such he often resolved arguments in heaven mainly between Lucifer and Michael.

After billions of years humans eventually evolved on Earth, which Raguel did promise to bow to. When Lucifer was cast out of heaven for refusing to do so, Raguel left shortly after taking his sons Judex and Regnell. This was possibly because without Lucifer, his reason for being in heaven was no longer valid. Not much has been seen of him since, however whenever great peril comes across the humans he takes the form of a thunder bird called Groază and soars across the skies warning them of the challenges to come.

It is said that despite being missing and a fallen angel he still answers many human prayers.

## History

Raguel was born after Michael and Lucifer before the universe was created to God and Asherah. In the days after Raguel's birth, he would constantly need to be with his father or he would become upset. Because of this, he was named Raguel of "Friend of God". Eventually God slayed the rest of the gods or submitted other gods to his will and crowned himself "The One True God". This resulted in Asherah leaving him, and Raguel losing a great deal of respect for him.

Some time after his birth, Raguel and his brothers were ordered by God to do battle with the high deity, Asag. A being who would constantly destroy and eat things that God and his brothers created. The other deities, despite also being affected by Asag's terror, refused to help defeat him for a whole year, before finally helping them. This resulted in Asag being defeated and cast into The Empty.

God then tasked Lucifer and Michael with creating a solar system that could sustain life. He told the three sons to guard the planet that Michael would create and mysteriously disappeared.

Eventually Lucifer and Michael created a solar system capable of sustaining life. As life grew, so did a new power Raguel noticed within himself. This was the power to manipulate time. As time passed, Raguel started to notice a trend in the creatures on Earth. With his power to see into the future, he noticed that the current creatures known as the Dinosaurs would not allow God's next creations, the humans, to flourish on Michael's world. Raguel told Lucifer this, who wiped out the dinosaurs with an asteroid.

At some point after this, the three of them began to breed with the lower Gods. Raguel's breeding with Neith led to the creation of the Cherubim. Michael and Lucifer also bred with other deities weaker than them, and because of this the resulting breeds of Angels were weaker than the three brothers. Soon after, Raguel bred with an Angel to create his son Judex, and then soon after that inseminated the water Nu and created the half angel Regnell.

God then returned to anoint the animals that had evolved from what he had created millions of years ago, the first humans, Adam and Eve, as his master works. Upon doing so, God ordered all the angels in heaven to swear allegiance to these new beings and to protect them from future threats. Raguel, Michael, and all the rest of the angels all bow, all except Lucifer. Lucifer, having his pride wounded, argued with their father about the true value of these new humans, saying that they did not deserve to be loved more than him and his brothers. As his punishment, God banished Lucifer from heaven. Upon Lucifer's leave from heaven, Raguel took his children, Judex and Regnell, and left as well. While he was not banished, he chose to leave behind heaven, possibly because without Lucifer, Raguel didn't see a place for himself in heaven. Afterwards, when Lucifer did battle with Michael, Raguel could be seen in a new form flying across the skies in heaven. A form completely made of lightning called Groază.

Raguel goes missing for a very long time. He adopts a new appearance and wanders the many stars and lands the universe now how to offer. Only to be seen every time catastrophe came across humans, in his Groază form. While completely missing from heaven, his son Judex did breed with humans at some point, leading to the Finches, a human bloodline with the blood of Raguel. Even while missing, he continued to answer the prayers of the humans who prayed to him, all the way until modern day times.

## Personality

Raguel is stern and unbiased. He was born with the gifted ability to judge anything completely free of bias and without missing any details. He grew up a bit more separated from his brethren, fearing his judgement of them to be a bad thing, but ultimately did get along with his brothers, Michael and Lucifer. He also has a strong connection with his two sons, Judex and Regnell.
