*"There was a time when I too thought I knew everything. This was...this was back when I was an angel and spent all my time looking down on the world. But you see, I've found it takes looking up to gain perspective. It's a great reminder of just how much there is that we don't know."*

**-Amenadiel to Lucifer**

Amenadiel is the one of the eldest of all God's angels, and thus the older brother of all the other angels, with only Lucifer, Gabriel, and Michael being his older brothers. He was created by his father, God and his mother Goddess literally seconds after the Big Bang, making him around 13.8 billion years old, and he is among the strongest and most powerful angels ever created by God. Amenadiel came to Earth countless times to convince Lucifer to return to Hell, Lucifer grew bored of being the Lord of the underworld. After abdicating the throne, Lucifer retired to Los Angeles for several years. in which Amenadiel tried convincing Lucifer to return to Hell under God’s orders.

## History

Before existence was created, all that existed was the void, the infinite expanse of nothingness and emptiness. But within, this expanse walked a being with the power to both create, and exist by himself- this entity would be known as 'God', the creator himself. As he wandered creation forever alone, though equipped with unlimited true power, he was still alone. Until, he met another being like himself, 'The Divine Goddess'. They both instantly fell in love with each other, but both did not want to continue wandering the void aimlessly, in response, God created creation- a creation within the nothingness where they could finally call home.

Although they could bring creation into existence, they needed help in finishing it, giving it a true shape. So, God created three brothers, he fused with unlimited power: Micheal Demiurge, Gabriel Hornblower, and Samael (who would later be known as, 'Lucifer Morningstar'), after they were given their powers, God guided them into how to use their new powers over creation- and with that, they helped to form the Omniverse, Heaven and Hell- and all of creation.

## History

### **Early History**

Before existence was created, all that existed was the void, the infinite expanse of nothingness and emptiness. But within, this expanse walked a being with the power to both create, and exist by himself- this entity would be known as 'God', the creator himself. As he wandered creation forever alone, though equipped with unlimited true power, he was still alone. Until, he met another being like himself, 'The Divine Goddess'. They both instantly fell in love with each- other, but both did not want to continue wandering the void aimlessly, in response, God created creation- a creation within the nothingness where they could finally call home.

Although they could bring creation into existence, they needed help in finishing it, giving it a true shape. So, God created three brothers, he fused with unlimited power: Micheal Demiurge, Gabriel Hornblower, and Samael (who would later be known as, 'Lucifer Morningstar'), after they were given their powers, God guided them into how to use their new powers over creation- and with that, they helped to form the Omniverse, Heaven and Hell- and all of creation.

Amenadiel is one of the eldest children of God and Goddess- being the fourth child born after, Gabriel, Lucifer, and Michael. As an angel child, he played with his siblings, however, he and the other older children often excluded Uriel from their activities. All of his siblings admired and looked up to him. Like his siblings, Amenadiel loyally serves God. Sometime after Lucifer's rebellion. Amenadiel took his mother to Hell under his father's orders. Amenadiel was also the one that gave Cain his mark. This was also the time, in Lucifer's reign that war broke out in Hell between Weldrok and Lucifer over the thrown- Amenadiel aided his brother in defeating the demon and storming Hell banishing Weldrok from Creation. However, in 1981, for unknown reasons, God asked something of Amenadiel that he never asked before; to go down to Earth and bless a couple who were unable to have a child of their own. That couple was John and Penelope Decker, who would then give birth to Chloe Decker. That was the first and only time God had ever asked Amenadiel to do anything in the same manner.

### **Arrival on Earth**

After Lucifer arrived on Earth, Amenadiel comes to Lux and asks Lucifer to return to the underworld and resume his role as the ruler of Hell. Amenadiel eventually persuades Mazikeen to help him return Lucifer to hell for his good. Soon an ancient Sumerian text claims that the key for the Flaming Sword was given to God's favorite son. The key is revealed to be Amenadiel's necklace strongly implying that he is God's favorite. Amenadiel soon thanked Charlotte for her help in successfully preventing Chloe and Pierce from getting married, but Charlotte's discussion about her still feeling the weight of her guilt has made Amenadiel wonder about if angels were also their judges. Leaving the police station after getting the evidence from Charlotte's old firm, Amenadiel comes across a sobbing Maze who appears to be in distress for driving everyone away. Before Maze was going to tranquilize Amenadiel and bring him to Pierce to be killed, Maze changed her mind once Amenadiel said that he would always be there for her while hugging. Later after Charlotte helped to put away a killer, Amenadiel congratulated her for her deeds. While the two were talking on a bench, Marcus Pierce was hiding in the bushes and attempting to kill Amenadiel. Hearing something in the bushes, Charlotte pushes Amenadiel out of the way and saves his life.

Breaking down, Amenadiel speaks with Charlotte who succumbs to her wounds and dies. As he cradles her body, Amenadiel then regains his wings and flies off to Heaven with Charlotte's soul. Lucifer and Chloe find Charlotte's body and Lucifer realizes his brother has gone home.

Amenadiel came back from Silver City and confronted Lucifer. He told him about Charlotte, who is now resting peacefully in Heaven, which they both agreed that she deserved it. Later, he shows up at Linda's office, where he is surprised to see Linda punching Maze. The three of them made up and became friends again. Amenadiel then tells Linda about how his feelings changed while he was staying at Silver City. Amenadiel also found out that Linda was pregnant with their child. Following a visit from Remiel, he planned to bring his son and raise him in the Silver City but changed his mind when he saw how connected Linda was to Charlie.

### **Life on Earth**

Soon after Amenadiel, continued to stay with Linda, and look after his son Charlie- trying to stay away from the things in Creation, until Weldrok was released-and he was forced to help defend Creation from him. He reluctantly left his family to keep them safe, and aided Lucifer on his journey, along with helping to defend Heaven from the hellhound's attacks. Once the threat had passed, he quickly returned to his family and continue looking after them. Since then, he has been more cautious around Lucifer, especially now the Council and Weldrok are with Lucifer on Earth, he has been more distant with the rest of his family- such as when Zuriel came, and he showed little concern for his brother's happenings.

But he did become involved, when he discovered his mother had returned- showing he showed great happiness and gratitude she returned, but at the same time defended Linda and Charlie from her as he didn't fully feel safe with her around them. He later discovered about the events with Lucifer and Weldrok, about the death of his mother, Lucifer leaving Creation, return of Michael, and Weldrok becoming the new king of Hell. Since then he mostly stays around Linda and Charlie becoming more and more involved with them, trying to prepare and protect them from a changing Creation.

## Personality

Amenadiel is very head-strong, loyal, determined, disciplined, honorable, and righteous. Lucifer 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. Like his brother Lucifer, Amenadiel is physically beautiful, handsome, and incredibly muscular, and has a powerfully built physique. Amenadiel 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 and manipulated Dr. Linda Martin. He also resurrected Malcolm Graham from Hell for Malcolm to kill Lucifer. Goddess noted 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, 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 from using his pain to ignite the Flaming Sword, he stopped Goddess from forcing him to keep trying when it failed to stay lit. When discussing names for their child with Linda, most of the names Amenadiel suggested ended in "iel". He also showed an aversion to the name Michael, thereby indicating that the two have a strained relationship.

## Powers & Abilities

**Archangel Physiology:** As an archangel, Amenadiel has their physiology such as immortality, flight via wings, superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, and intelligence. As one of the oldest Angel, and more specifically the fourth highest-ranking Angel, he is extremely powerful, among the most powerful angels ever created by God. Amenadiel is probably the only angel powerful enough to rival bot Michael and Lucifer in physical strength. Additionally, Amenadiel's incredible powers far exceed that of Uriel's. Furthermore, when Amenadiel was weakened and his wings are damaged, he was still stronger than humans, as shown when he easily held off three hospital security guards. After Charlotte Richards died to save Amenadiel, his angelic superpowers were restored and he was able to take her soul to Heaven.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Being the highest-ranking Angel and eldest angel, Amenadiel is one of the strongest angels ever created by God, having extraordinary levels of superhuman strength, being able to even rival Lucifer and Michael in combat and far exceed the strength of all other Angels. Even after being weakened, he was still far stronger than humanly possible. Amenadiel has the strength to effortlessly overpower and defeat 20 large men in combat, instantly knock a huge man unconscious with just a light mere jab, and effortlessly lift large men up very high off of the ground by the neck with only one hand and choke them unconscious in literally two to three seconds. Even without his celestial powers and angelic super strength Amenadiel still maintained a high degree of superhuman physical force, specifically when he was able to very easily break a large man's hand with a light squeeze and was strong enough to throw and send another large man flying over 100 feet in the air with incredible ease and force. Amenadiel was even strong enough without his angelic powers and celestial strength to (eventually) defeat Cain in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts. With his celestial powers, he also easily overpowered Cain and threw him over 50 feet in the air with great force and killed him dozens of times with his bear hands (Who is a very large man, who is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant and has been alive for thousands of years). It is shown throughout the show that Amenadiel is one of the strongest and most powerful Angel ever created by God and Goddess. It is also shown that he is far more powerful than most Angels.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Like all Angels, Amenadiel can appear and disappear faster than a blink of an eye, and they can run, move, react, and fly at immense superhuman speeds. He can fly faster than the speed of light.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Like all Angels, Amenadiel is very hard to tire, though without his power he had a human-like level of stamina.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Like all Angels, Amenadiel is nearly indestructible, and has a highly durable body, which can withstand a vast amount of physical damage. Bullets and knives bounce harmlessly off of his body. The only known thing that can harm him is the Flaming Sword and Demon Daggers Forged In Hell.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Like all Angels, Amenadiel possesses far greater agility than humans and demons. He has remarkable balance, coordination, equilibrium, reflexes, flexibility, and agility, which allow him to quickly and easily move, dodge, duck, or catch anything thrown at him, such as speeding bullets, knives, arrows, daggers, etc. He can catch and dodge punches with extreme ease and is fast enough to dodge and catch speeding bullets.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Like all Angels, Amenadiel possesses remarkable reflexes and reactions, and he is effortlessly able to duck, dodge, and catch speeding bullets, daggers, arrows, and knives. His reflexes and reactions are so great that he can either dodge or catch multiple speeding bullets flying at him. His reflexes are far better than demons and humans.
* **Superhuman Intelligence:** Like all Angels, Amenadiel possesses a higher intelligence than humans. As noted by Lucifer, Amenadiel is also very studious, thus possesses vast knowledge, including (but not limited to) many dead languages.
* **Immortality:** being the first-born angel and one of the eldest angels, Amenadiel has been alive for untold eons, predating mankind and any of his angelic siblings. He can live forever, and also cannot be killed by conventional means. He was created by God and Goddess just seconds after the Big Bang, making him around 13.8 billion years old.
* **Resurrection:** When a dying Malcolm was taken off the machine, Amenadiel brought him back to life from his ward window. He does this by taking a soul and placing it in a recently deceased body. Without his wings as a fallen angel, Amenadiel would be unable to travel to Heaven or Hell to retrieve a soul to revive someone. This power was presumably restored when his powers returned as he took Charlotte Richards to Heaven.
* **Healing:** When resurrecting Malcolm Graham, Amenadiel healed the gunshot wound that originally killed him.
* **Flight:**Like all Angels, Amenadiel has enormous, beautiful, dark wings that enable him to fly as long as he wants where ever he wants. His wings are extremely powerful, massive, and razor-sharp and can be used as a deadly weapon. His immense angelic wings can also be used to generate vast gusts of wind to create enough concussive force to many humans flying across the air. He can fly faster than the speed of light.
* **Dimensional Travel:** When Amenadiel possessed his wings, he was able to travel between Heaven, Hell, and Earth. He lost this ability when his wings were damaged and his powers weakened. Upon regaining his wings, Amenadiel regained the ability to travel back to the Realm of Heaven. His first act upon regaining his angelic wings was to travel to Heaven with Charlotte's soul so that Charlotte can finally be at blissful peace in the afterlife.
* **Chronokinesis**: Amenadiel's greatest power, is his ability to fully manipulate time all across Creation. However, after committing several sins he started deeming himself unworthy of his powers, and he began to lose them, with his chronokinetic ability being the first one to fail. Amenadiel was able to considerably slow time to allow Maze to save Linda. However, this took intense concentration and left him exhausted afterward. Amenadiel tells Lucifer that this appears to have been "a one-time thing" as he has since been unable to replicate the effect or use any of his other powers. This power was revealed to not have been restored with his full angelic form after meeting Remiel, possibly because of his newfound beliefs of connecting with humanity and his views of his powers.

### **Abilities**

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant/Martial Artist**: Amenadiel is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant and is shown on multiple occasions of being able to swiftly gain the upper hand against the demon Maze in a duel, even mocking her at times. Even without his powers, Amenadiel showed exceptional strength and experience in combat, mostly exhibited during his duel with Cain. He was able to hold his own and overpower the latter, who, while human, has been alive for thousands of years and is also a highly skilled combatant. With his full powers, Amenadiel remains as one of the most powerful characters in all of Creation. He is shown to be quite capable of competing with Lucifer and even overpowering him twice when Lucifer was holding back, although Lucifer is proven to be more skilled than him when he was fighting fully, as despite being able to fight against him on a reasonably even footing, Lucifer dealt a more severe beating on him in their third altercation while not at full power.

## Weakness

As an angel, Amenadiel has its weaknesses including the Flaming Sword, demonic weapons, and other supernatural beings.

* **Self-judgment:**Angels are also under the same system of Free will and judgment as humans. Similar to how humans get judged to determine if they are to go to Hell, if an angel feels a sufficient amount of guilt, it could cause an angel to self-judge themselves as sinners and self-punish themselves to fall and become mortal. Because of Amenadiel's guilt and feelings of unworthiness, Amenadiel judged himself to guilty and caused himself to fall and lose his wings. His personal belief in the importance of connecting with humans on Earth and the role his powers over time had on them had caused him to lose access to the ability to manipulate time even after his angelic form was restored. It is implied by a conversation with Remiel that his time manipulation power has not returned because he believes he shouldn't use it.

## Trivia

* There is a strange thing with his name, as any information on him, or memories about angels like Amenadiel that this information disappears without any knowledge why. Most likely, this is due to a type of charm or trick is done by him or God as a way of not revealing the story too much...
* While Chloe was immune to Lucifer's charm, she was affected by Amenadiel's presence. Ella Lopez reacts similarly to Amenadiel, but she is not fully immune to Lucifer's charm.
* Amenadiel was the one who started the association of Lucifer to the figure of a goat, which Lucifer abhors. He spread the rumor a thousand years ago as a prank on Lucifer. Maze was the first person he told about it.
* In the comics, Amenadiel is a supporting antagonist. He is a strong angel who despises Lucifer and is bent on killing him.

* He has had relationships with both Maze and Linda, two of his brother's former lovers.
