Good Omens/Characters

Characters that appear in Good Omens. Warning, spoilers abound!!! Also Loads and Loads of Characters.

Angels and Demons

Aziraphale

The angel who guarded the gates of Eden with a flaming sword, Aziraphale has lived among humans for thousands of years, and has become quite fond of them as a result. Due to his friendship with Crowley, he's not quite as pure-hearted as he should be.

Ambiguously Gay / Mistaken for Gay: It's stated that pretty much everyone's first impression of Aziraphale, among other things, is that he's "gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide". Him hanging around with Crowley all the time certainlly doesn't help.
Angelic Possession
Asexuality: The way it's phrased is a little ambiguous, but the implication is that being sexless unless he really wants to make an effort means he doesn't normally have a sex drive or the parts to act on it with.

Crowley
