Archangel Raphael

The Archangel Raphael is one of the seven Archangels mentioned in The Bible, specifically in The Book of Tobit, (which many people do not consider Canon). He is seen as a healer and guide, acting as an assistant to Death, as his Traveler persona, on some occasions. He is also seen in the Islamic faith as the trumpet blower for death, replacing Archangel Gabriel.

Raphael is associated with the element of water, and one of the most common images of him according to That Other Wiki is of him holding a water flask. As water is associated with healing and life, it is fitting that he is the patron saint of doctors.

He is the equivalent of The Medic in Real Life as he is not a love interest like the White Magician Girl.

Tabletop RPG

 * The Archangel Raphael is prominently missing from the ranks of Heaven in Steve Jackson Games' In Nomine. Canonically, Raphael (the Elohite Archangel of Knowledge) died in 1008 CE in the battle against Legion, the Demon Prince of Corruption. However, a sidebar in one of the supplements hints that there may be more to the story, that Raphael did not die outright but instead suffered the loss of all her Celestial forces to became a Remnant—effectively a Corporeal "ghost" of a former angel—and that the amnesiac Remnant became the Renaissance artist Raphael.

Video Games

 * Occasionally pops up as a high-ranking member of the Seraph Clan in Shin Megami Tensei games. His stance on Humanity has varied from Well-Intentioned Extremist to outright demented Knight Templar.
