Michael

**Michael** also know as **Saint Michael**, the **Right Hand of God** and the **Archenemy of Hell**, is the Archangel of humility, justice and faith. He is the first Archangel and the first son/child of God and Asherah. Among humans, Michael is known as **Saint Michael the Archangel** and is the **Defender of the Children of Israel** and the **Guardian of the Catholic Church**.

Michael was responsible for expelling Lucifer and her troops from Heaven and casting the Devil into the depths of Hell (formerly known as Sheol), this being his greatest achievement.

After the death of his Father in the Great War, Michael took over as the leader of Heaven to maintain his father's legacy.

## Appearance

Michael has the appearance of a handsome-looking man with long blond hair and green eyes. Like Azazel, he has twelve wings growing from his back, and unlike other Angels whose wings are white, his wings are colored gold, further symbolizing his position as the former leader. He wears a red robe with a gold cross on the front of his white alb. He has golden shoulder plates with a white sash and a golden halo set above his head.

In the anime, his eyes are shaped in a perpetually sad manner even when genuinely angered or happy.

## Personality

As leader of the Angels, Michael in his few appearances has shown to be extremely kind and compassionate. However, he will put the good of the many above the good of the few, as shown when he allowed Asia to be banished in order to preserve the religious faith of the Christian people and not risk the safety of Heaven. Michael is extremely loyal to his father. After his death, Michael did everything he could to maintain the religion of Christianity, leading the Angels and guiding the Church. He is even willing to be allied with the Angel's former enemies of Fallen Angels and Devils to ensure the Angels survival as a species.

Despite being an Angel, Michael lacks any of the prejudice and bigotry that a lot of Angels bear towards Devils and Fallen Angels due to his immense kindness, and is perfectly willing to show kindness to or even befriend them. This is shown in his first interaction with Isami, where he showed courtesy and politeness.

Despite his kindness, Michael can be merciless towards evil people like Rizevim as shown when Michael outright stated to Rizevim he will show no mercy.

## History

After God died in the Great War, the Angels were forced to retreat as Michael and the other Seraphs try to activate the Heavens' system and were successful in activating it with Michael as the center as he takes over the place of his Creator as the supervisor of the Heavens' system.

## Powers & Abilities

**Primordial Archangel Physiology**: Michael is the first Archangel created by the Almighty, due to this, his powers are absurdly greater than those of many pagan gods and even archangels who were born after the creation of the Universe. Michael is the only one who is able to battle head-to-head against the Fallen Archangel, Lucifer, with a battle between the two being described as so dangerous it could destroy Heaven and the Multiverse itself.

* **Immense Strength**: As a primordial being that predates time and space itself, and being the leader of the Seven Archangels and the Four Great Seraphs, in addition to being the only Angel with fourteen golden wings, Michael is the strongest Archangel, surpassing even the powers of Lucifer, with some saying that Michael could have defeated all the angels who rebelled (with the exception of Lucifer) with a mere movement of his hand.

**Nigh-Omnipotence**: Michael is a being of unlimited powers, claimed to be able to "uncreate" the universe, probably referring to returning the universe to its primordial, dimensionless state where the universe was infinitely small, otherwise known as the first moment of existence of the universe that it is Keter (called among humans the Big Bang). Since Michael was created from the pure and infinite light of God, he has virtually no limit to what he can or cannot do, as the source of his power is the same source that sustains all life in the universe, from the smallest of molecules to the most gigantic of galaxies and much more - the Infinite Light of the Creator (Ohr Ein Sof).

**Elohim Physiology**: Michael is an Archangel, a powerful primordial entity and a direct descendant of the Creator of all things Himself. He is a subservient of the One True Creator Elohim.

**Immense Light Power**: As a Angel, Michael has the ability to use light to create various effects. As one of the Four Great Seraph, more so the Archangel, his light powers are superior to that of others, even among the Seraph.

* **Light-Based Weapons**: Being an Angel, Michael is able to form various weapons and attacks from light. Michael's ability in creating and using weapons of light is vastly superior to regular Angels, able to quickly create a gigantic spear of light as shown when he attacked Rizevim.

**Immense Strength**: As the former leader of the Seraphs and Angels, and the only Archangel along with being the only Angel with twelve golden wings, Michael is the strongest Angel and likely wields power equivalent to a Satan-Class Devil.

**Master Magician**: Michael has expert knowledge when it comes to various kind of magic spells common to those of holy and angelic magics and rune symbols.

* **Defensive Magic**: Michael can create very powerful barriers that protect Team DxD from his own light attacks directed at Rizevim.

**Holy System Control**: Michael's true power, however, comes from the fact that he is now the one in control of the system created by God in the distant past, which is what causes harm to Devils who come into contact with blessed objects, provides miracles, and determines who can be saved. Unfortunately, with Michael in charge, the system is vastly inferior to how it was with God running it.

**Flight**: Being an Angel, Michael can use his twelve golden wings to fly.

## Trivia

* Michael's suit in the Brave Saints system is the Suit of Spades ♠.
* Michael's name means "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God.
