- Father Davis about **Michael**

Michael is the first and oldest of the four Archangels created by God, making him the very first Angel ever created, as well as one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the universe. During the War in Heaven in the distant past, Michael banished Lucifer from Heaven on God's command, later restricting him to a cage bound by a magical lock, that's only capable of being unlocked if someone on earth breaks the "Seals". He’s the Viceroy of Heaven in God's absence and commands the Heavenly Host. As the highest-ranking Archangel, he issues the commands, which went to the higher-ranking angels to disperse the orders down across the angelic chain.

## History

### Early Life

Michael was one of the four Archangels created by God eons ago, before God created the universe. Michael, Lucifer, and Gabriel all directly described Michael as being older than Lucifer and therefore the first archangel (one such example was when Michael and Lucifer were addressing each-other).  Michael stated to Jacob Nelson that he "practically raised" Lucifer, taking care of him "in a way most people could never understand", and implying that it was very similar to how Jacob dutifully obeyed his frequently absent father while taking care of Alvin. Michael also mentioned that he and his family were happy and together, until the dawn of humankind sparked Lucifer's rebellion after the latter refused God's command that the angels bow to and love humanity more than God. Michael’s stated that he was actually the first Angel to bow before humanity. As Lucifer's rebelliousness continued due to his jealousy of God's love for humans, he went to Michael asking the latter to stand with him, but Michael refused and, according to Lucifer, "called [him] a freak, a monster." Michael was also responsible for casting Lucifer into Hell on God's orders.

### The Flood

The Grigori that were assigned to watch over earth & humanity began to sleep with the women & taught the men sacred knowledge forbidden by God. The Grigori then became fathers, creating Nephilim. God ordered Raphael to kill the Nephilims, while he ordered Michael to kill the Grigori & the humans. While Raphael went down to Earth and took a vessel to do this, Michael decided to do so without a vessel, and from the Heavens, his Angelic light appeared on earth, so bright that it killed all the humans that witnessed it, their eyes burning out of their skulls, while he set the Grigori on Earth on fire, their screams echoing around.

### Sodom & Gomorrah

Many generations after "the flood", Michael and Gabriel were put in charge of destroying the twin cities, Sodom and Gomorrah. Michael, being the good son, followed his father’s orders without hesitation, and unleashed God’s wrath, while Gabriel was hesitant and was finally pushed and killed his first human.

### Plagues of Egypt

Before this final plague, God commands Moses to tell the Israelites to mark the blood of a Lamb above their doors, so his Angels would know to just simply pass by that house. Then he ordered Michael to go to Earth and kill all of the firstborns. Michael did not take a vessel yet again, and instead, he simply went to Earth and used his power to kill the firstborns, his presence alone caused the deaths of the Egyptian firstborns at the time. It's also been stated that Michael spoke to Moses through the burning bush on God's behalf after Gabriel begged God to help them out.

### Sennacherib

After the Levantine War of 701 BC was made necessary because several Assyrian vassals in the region decided to rebel, either because they were encouraged by Marduk-apla-iddina or because of the ill omens associated with the battlefield death of Sennacherib's father. Though the northern Levant was subdued relatively quickly, the states in the southern Levant, especially the Kingdom of Judah under King Hezekiah, did not submit as easily. The Assyrians thus invaded Judaea. As such, God ordered Michael to come to Earth and put an end to the war. Michael destroyed the Assyrian army, though an outright Assyrian defeat is unlikely as Hezekiah submitted to Sennacherib at the end of the campaign.

### Ruling Heaven

After Lucifer's imprisonment in the Cage and God's later departure from Heaven, the remaining archangels took over command of the angels. Michael believed that the Apocalypse was destined to happen, and that the battle between him and Lucifer was fated to end with him killing Lucifer. He also expected it to lead to God's return and the ushering of Paradise. But it’d be awhile until Michael was destined to fight Lucifer, as their true vessels wouldn’t be born for a long time.

### Season One

After centuries of remaining in Heaven and never taking a vessel upon coming to Earth, Michael decided to come to Earth and personally ensure that his and Lucifer’s true vessels would be born, by taking their future father, Connor Nelson, as a vessel, but before doing so, Michael decided he needed to “blow off a little steam” and joined the military under Connor’s name. He quickly rose through the ranks and after only a short period of time, he became a lieutenant. During his first mission after being promoted to lieutenant, Michael and his squad go to an abandoned warehouse in Afghanistan to take out a small group of terrorists, with Michael insisting that he goes in alone while his team covers each exit and kills any stragglers, which they agree to. Michael enters the building and kills each and every terrorist there in various different ways, and although despite seeing them as sinners, he still felt bad for doing so, seeing himself as a merciful angelic protector. After he finished his tour, he met up with his brothers, Raphael and Gabriel, who made him aware of the Demons' plans to let Lucifer out of his cage, which worries Michael, who decides to shop them, not wanting the Apocalypse or their destined fight to happen yet, since their True Vessels, Jacob and Alvin Nelson, are yet to be born. At some point, Michael and his brothers were invited to a party by a young, 23 year-old, woman named Emily Watson, an invitation which Gabriel happily accepted, while Michael and Raphael only pretended to happily accept. Before the party though, Michael left Connor's vessel to temporally return to Heaven, for still unknown reasons, leaving Gabriel and Raphael with Connor to attend the party, where Connor and Emily ended up having sex, resulting her getting pregnant with Michael's true vessel, Jacob. After talking with Uriel, Michael allowed Connor to temporarily regain control of his body so that him and Emily could spend more time together and thus grow closer to one another, as well as ensuring that Jacob would be born. Eventually, Michael learned through Connor that Emily's father was dying, and so, with Azrael's permission, Michael used his healing ability to save his life, before teleporting away upon his awakening. After some time, certain Angels became aware of Emily’s soon-to-be born son, and they saw it as a sin, since the parents weren’t married at the time of conception, as well as the Angels know the child is gonna grow up to be Michael’s true vessel, and as such they decide to attempt to do something about it, not wanting the apocalypse to ever occur, considering how much of humanity could be wiped out in the process as a consequence of their battle. So, the Angel, Samael, as well as two other unnamed Angels, come to earth and begin to hunt down Emily, in order to kill Jacob, and as, eventually, Alvin, Lucifer’s true vessel. But Michael manages to stop them, killing the two unnamed Angels, and ripping off Samael’s wings, all in a fit of rage due to their defiance and betrayal. As such, without his wings, Samael becomes a Fallen Angel, no longer able to return to Heaven, nor go to Hell, bound to earth for eternity.

## Characteristics

Like the other Archangels, when without a vessel; Michael manifests on Earth as a blinding, pure-white light large enough to encompass a small building, whilst his true voice is perceived as a high-pitched ringing noise. Michael's natural form is so intense that humans perceiving it is not only damaging to their eyes and ears but is also fatal. Vessels strong enough to contain him such as Connor Nelson are the apparent exception, able to look at his natural form safely. Inside a vessel, Michael, like several other angels, can cause his vessel's eyes to briefly change, gaining a bright-blue color with dots of white light in the center - this happens when he's aggravated, or when he's switching control with his vessel. Michael appears to have adopted the form of his former vessel, Connor, as his preferred appearance, even while not possessing him. When communicating with Connor while Connor is in control of their shared body, Michael manifests in Connor’s perception as a physical duplicate of Connor. He does the same thing when he tries convincing Markus to say yes to possession, and then again when he was shown talking to Jacob, after he possessed him, during a time when he let him take control for a little while, although half way through the conversation, he made himself appear as an older Connor, rather than a younger Connor, and he continued to make himself appear that way every time he would talk to Jacob afterwards.

## Personality

Michael is a rather complicated being, having many sides of his personality. He is a strong and caring, yet still strict leader, having set up a rigid and sturdy hierarchy in Heaven, along with strict rules and punishments. To his father God, however, Michael is fanatically loyal and blindly follows God's orders without question, as sees himself as a "good son", and that is what matters most to him. He loves his father dearly and, despite having not seen him in thousands of years, never lost his faith or his love for him. According to Lucifer, when he puts his mind to something he'll do it no matter how many have to die. This goes along with his intent to let the Apocalypse proceed to fight his brother as his father commanded and bring paradise. He also professes his love for Lucifer, his younger brother, and admits to Jacob that he doesn't want to kill Lucifer any more than Jacob would want to kill Alvin, but accepts he must do it due to his father's orders and the actions of his younger brother. His love for Lucifer is proven true, as seen before the fight where he acts in a polite and genuinely saddened manner, and when Lucifer proposes they "walk off the chessboard," Michael seriously considers it for a moment before ultimately refusing. Despite loving his younger brother, Michael holds great anger for Lucifer, calling him a "monster" and blaming him for all their problems, pointing out they were once "happy together" but Lucifer ruined everything by "betraying them, betraying all of us" and "making [their] father leave".

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* Lower Tier Nigh-Omnipotence: As the oldest Archangel and the first angel in general that God ever created, Michael has a tremendously vast supply of supernatural power, making him the most powerful celestial being that God created. Other angels, even some of the most powerful angels fear Michael's capabilities and powers. Noted to be far superior to the younger Archangels, such as Raphael, he is even ultimately more powerful than Lucifer, having defeated him during the First Heavenly Civil War and then locked him inside the Cage, with all angels being convinced that Michael would eventually kill Lucifer had they fought, it has also been noted that if Michael fights Lucifer, the impact of their battle would destroy much of Earth. He can effortlessly kill and banish lesser angels at whim, as shown by how with a single touch, Michael easily burned Zechariah, a powerful angel, from the inside out to death and sent Uriel back to Heaven with a snap of his fingers. By placing two fingers on Mark’s forehead, Michael brought him back to life while also, at the same time, healing his wounds.
	+ Angelic Possession: Michael requires a vessel to walk the Earth, and he requires the vessel’s permission. His power can only be contained by a descendant of Cain & Abel. Jacob Nelson is his True Vessel.
	+ Healing: Michael can easily heal others of any injury, wound and disease. He’s healed his vessels plenty of times before in the past & present, and he healed his former vessel, Markus, of the injuries he sustained from being Michael’s vessel.
	+ Clairsentience: Michael could easily detect Lilith upon seeing her.
	+ Photokinesis: Michael can easily generate an overwhelming white light that is capable of obliterating other beings while leaving others he chose unaffected, as by simply flashing his eyes, he obliterated a Demon into a pile of ashes while the rest of the diner remained unaffected.
	+ Smiting: By placing his hands on the forehead or neck of a demon, human, or even angel, Michael burn out their eyes, as well as gruesomely melt their flesh.
	+ Precognition: Michael can see into the future, just not the full picture.
	+ Pyrokinesis: Michael can manipulate and generate earthly, and even spiritual fire. He uses this ability on disobedient angels, such as he did when he set Zechariah ablaze, painfully killing him, instead of snapping his fingers like Lucifer.
	+ Regeneration: If his vessel becomes damaged in any way, he is able to heal it instantly and completely.
	+ Resurrection: Michael can resurrect humans with ease. He rose Mark from the dead after he died upon Michael switching vessels.
	+ Supernatural Perception: Michael can sense and see things even if they're naturally invisible.
	+ Super Stamina: As an Archangel, Michael's stamina is incalculable and, even when in a vessel, needs nothing to maintain strength, to strive or operate, as he is self-sufficient.
	+ Super Strength: Being the oldest, strongest, and most powerful Archangel, the physical strength that Michael endows his vessel with is immense. Due to his status and power as the oldest angel, Michael is the strongest angel and the only one whose physical strength surpasses Lucifer’s own. Even while restrained by Supernatural Handcuffs, he retained a tremendous amount of superhuman strength that allowed him to effortlessly break the cuffs & kill the people who detained him in the first place.
	+ Telekinesis: Michael is a powerful telekinetic, able to move and control objects with his mind effortlessly; he was even able to move objects in areas where he hadn't fully arrived in.
	+ Telepathy: Michael is able to read the thoughts of humans.
		- Empathy: Michael is able to read the emotions of humans.
		- Mental Manipulation: Michael can erase, restore, alter and fabricate the memories and perception of a human.
		- Sedation: Just like an average angel, Michael can sedate humans by touching their forehead.
	+ Retractable Wings: Michael has a massive pair of retractable angelic wings while in a vessel. In his true form, however, he’s got six wings with all seeing eyes on them, and they’re also not retractable anymore. His wings are also nigh-invulnerable, and can’t be damage by normal means, such as bullets & explosions.
		- Flight: Michael can use his wings to fly, and he fly's at speeds comparable to shooting stars & comets.
		- Teleportation: Michael can also teleport anywhere instantly, although he really only uses this ability while indoors as to not destroy anyone’s property.
			* Apporting: Michael could send angels back to Heaven with a simple snap of his fingers, as he did with the angel Uriel. He can also effortlessly summon heavenly weapons to his side.
	+ Terrakinesis: Michael is able to cause powerful earthquakes by thought or presence alone.
	+ Thermokinesis: Michael was able to cause a doorknob to get extremely hot in order to prevent a pedophile from escaping.
	+ Weather Manipulation: Michael's control over the weather exceeds even his own brothers.
	+ Electrokinesis: Michael can turn off TVs & Radios by waving his hand in front of it. And by simply walking under lightbulbs, he caused them to explode.
	+ Reality Warping: With a snap of his fingers, Michael caused Connor & Emily’s house to return back to normal after a demon blew it up.
	+ Biokinesis: By simply flashing his eyes, Michael destroyed the internal organs of two soldiers, killing them instantly. By clenching his fist, Michael was able to torture several humans at once, although he didn’t kill them.
	+ Forceful Exorcism: Michael sent Lilith back to Hell with a snap of his fingers.
* Nigh-Omniscience: Like his brothers, Michael has a deep understanding of many things, due to him being older than the universe itself, and as the oldest, his knowledge exceeded all his brothers.
* Immortality: As the eldest archangel, Michael has an infinitely long lifespan. He is the first angel and has existed before the universe itself, making him well over 13.8 billion years old. The excessive passing of time does not degrade his vessel, like with all celestial beings. His vessel is unaffected by diseases and toxins. He does not tire, and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain his vessel.
	+ Invulnerability: Michael cannot be killed by any conventional weapon.
	+ Immunity: Michael’s resilient to Holy Fire & Enochian engraved handcuffs.

### Abilities

* Fighting: As a trained warrior of God, Michael is a skilled fighter. He has quick reflexes and a steady hand. He is known for slaughtering mankind almost to extinction during the Great Flood.

## Weaknesses

* Enochian Sigils: Even Michael cannot locate someone if they are warded by Enochian sigils.
* Holy Fire: Several Soldiers were able to trap Michael in a ring of holy fire, so they could ask him some questions, before putting the Supernatural Handcuffs on him.
* Supernatural Handcuffs: Handcuffs with Enochian Sigils engraved on them can hold any Supernatural beings, such as Archangels. However, these handcuffs could only hold Michael temporarily, having eventually broken free of them, and knocked out and erased the memories of the soldiers who placed them on him in the first place.
* Primordial Entities: Primordial entities, such as God, can effortlessly kill Michael. Lucifer, could potentially kill Michael, albeit, not effortlessly as it’d be difficult.
* Lance of Michael: Michael’s own weapon, the Lance of Michael, was designed to kill any Supernatural being, primarily the Archangel Lucifer, so if used against him, it could kill him.
