*"For Creation, Heaven and all the being within it, I cannot allow any of you to continue to exist"*

-Zuriel speech before he dies by suicide, trying to kill Lucifer and Weldrok

Zuriel was an angle and one of Lucifer's siblings. He was often picked on and watched by his other brothers and sisters, because of his frequent unsanctioned actions and his often-suspected (but rarely proven) undermining some of his siblings, and his father's plans. Despite his millennia of suspicious deeds, Zuriel only ever acted in what he believed was Heaven's best interests. He was appointed the head angel after Weldrok's attack on Heaven. Prior to being inaugurated officially into this post, Zuriel would prepare a creation wide Heaven purifying police but and died in battle against Lucifer in Heaven.

## 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. Soon the four made their home in Heaven, which soon began the family of God and the Goddess, ad their many children- including the angel of harmony, Zuriel.

Born as of the first of the middle-born angels. He was a capable child and always wanted to play with his older siblings. However, he was excluded a lot and became more distant from the rest of his brothers and sisters. Since then, he has grown, but he remained subordinate to his elder siblings- however, he has grown a great admiration and fascination towards Michael's abilities in creating something from nothing and has used his powers to make use of them. Taking up Heaven's more clandestine operations — something that Lucifer noted when he rebelled in Heaven, as he found some of Zuriel's notes on what to do next for creation — he created the Heaven research center, nicknamed Root, with the organization under Zuriel's direct command. Here he could experiment with collected DNA and powers of Michael, in an attempt to replicate them, as a way of securing peace in heaven and the whole of creation.

It was during this time, after Lucifer rebelled and left his position of the king of Hell, that Michael had died (supposedly). During his death, Zuriel had collected several DNA samples from him, in an attempt to gain his dead older brother's power, which led to a promising achievement on his arm but was forced to cover it up- to avoid suspicion. After Weldrok's attack, he ventured to the high angel council to put forth a plan to promote Heaven being more involved with the creation, to avoid another attack- which amazingly found him success. He soon initiated, a more forceful way of achieving harmony through an army of Michael replicated lone angels which were sent out across creation- but his true plan was to destroy the gods, demons, and Hell's across creation, as to him they where the cause of the disharmony and peace. He did this as a way of becoming 'The Voice' of God, which he needed the avatars of father across creation to accept him as, due to him already gaining the support of Heaven and his brothers and sister- as he needed to be the voice to initiate this plan on this scale. But these actions soon ended up attracting the attention of both Lucifer, Weldrok, and the Council of Hell.

This soon led to another battle with Lucifer and the council in Heaven, with the council fighting off both the angels and clone armies, Weldrok holding off the avatars of father- while he and Lucifer finally battle, in the battle he revealed his mutated arm and explaining that everything he's done has been in the name of peace. Lucifer and Zuriel battle, but eventually Lucifer lands a fatal blow on his younger brother, making him fall to his knees. He stammers up blaming Lucifer for everything wrong with Creation and everything bad that has happened- before wobbling away but stopped by Weldrok. He soon condemns them, saying for the good of creation they cannot be allowed to exist. He activates seals on his body, which release a cataclysmic explosion killing him, in an attempt to kill the others, which nearly works. After this, Weldrok completes a quick analysis of the corpse to find it is a clone- while the real Zuriel escapes to Lucifer's earth in an attempt to kill everything his brother cares about.

Zuriel using cells taken from Uriel uses them to map out a plan to destroy the city and see's the best way possible, but before this, he steals Azrael's blade once again, as he plans to use it against the council. He then begins a series of events, before introducing himself to Lucifer to meet at a church in Los Angeles, so he can see his brother fail to save those he loves. A small fight breaks out, but thanks to both Azrael's blade and some of Uriel's powers, he manages to gain the upper hand on Lucifer but doesn't kill him feeling it's beneath him to kill his family. Soon he fights with Weldrok stabbing him several times before returning to the organ to initiate Los Angeles destruction, but is killed by Lucifer, through stabbing him through the heart with Azrael's blade, he soon dies in his arms, before parting a message to his brother "SHE'S COMING", before reflecting about his life, and his times with Michael, asking himself what was he to him- before dying in Lucifer's hands.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Angel Physiology:** As an angel, Zuriel has their physiology, including superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, endurance, agility, reflexes, resilience, senses, and intelligence, immortality, invulnerability, eternal lifespan, regenerative healing factor, flight, shape-shifting (being able to hide his wings). As well as their weaknesses.
* **Nigh-Omniscience**: Zuriel is a master strategist and because of his role as the angel of harmony, has a supernatural understanding of patterns and their consequences (the same with Uriel's ability, however, while it's much faster and clearer compared to how Uriel does this). With a slight movement or adjustment to a surrounding object, he can set forth a sequence of events.
* **Master Martial Artist and Hand to Hand Combatant:** Despite Zuriel's small stature, he is a very capable fighter. He utilized his ability to notice and recognize patterns in his fight with Lucifer and Weldrok, winning the fight until Lucifer caught him with a surprise attack and killed him using Azrael's blade.
* **Gene and Power Adaptability**: Zuriel has a very unique ability compared to other angels, where any DNA and power of any other being is put inside him- he can adapt and replicate that power to a similar level to how they could do it. Like, when he used Michael's cells which gave him the ability to create something out of nothing, but could at the very most create enough to make a universe- unlike Michael, who could make a whole creation.
* **Probability Computation**

## Weaknesses

* **Vulnerability to Blade of Azrael**
* **Vulnerability to Hell-forged Weapons**

## Personality

According to Lucifer, "Zuriel was an arrogant and hot-headed boy. When he sets his mind, it doesn't waver." Growing up, Zuriel looked up to Michael- seeing him as a personal hero of his. He kept trying to be with them no matter how many times they excluded him. He is obedient and a little frightened of his elder brothers. However, he takes great pleasure in knocking down and beating him up his elder brothers when he has the chance. To the demons of Hell and angels of Heaven, Zuriel was quite arrogant, murderous, and sadistic, having no qualms about killing anyone- seeing him as a militarist and having no worry in stepping over the corpses of his family.

Despite his reputation as a militarist, Zuriel ultimately sought peace for creation, one he would achieve by uniting all of creation under his control. As such, he sought the title of 'The Voice', waiting patiently for millennia before an opportunity arose. Zuriel's pursuit of peace followed ends justifies the means. As such, he had no remorse taking any immoral actions as long as he believed it would benefit Heaven. To that end, he worked in the shadows to ensure that this future came to fruition.

## Trivia

* There is a strange thing with his name, as any information on him, or memories about Zuriel and his plans disappear without any knowledge why. Most likely, this is due to a type of charm or trick is done by him or his father as a way of not revealing the story too much- we believe this applies to all angles, except for Lucifer (perhaps due to him being a fallen angel).
* Zuriel is one of the few beings Lucifer has ever actually killed
* Zuriel always felt like Michael was the obstacle he had to beat, as to him- the purpose of his existence, wasn't to bring harmony but to surpass those who looked down at him.
