{{examples}}

 

 

 

* From ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', the last in a venerable line of demon hunters. He asks the party to schlep around the world collecting "[[Evil Weapon|Devil's Arms]]", for what turn out to be [[Face Heel Turn|less-than-savory]] [[Bonus Boss|purposes]]. Still, with a name like that, you'd think the party would have guessed ''something'' was up.

* Abyssion is a dragon in ''[[World of Warcraft]]''.

 

[[Big Bad]] of Zoroastrianism.

 

* There's [[Big Bad|Dr. Mark Ahriman]] in ''[[False Memory]]'' by [[Dean Koontz]].

* The dark wizard in the book ''Which Witch'' by Eva Ibbotson. He's an [[Anti-Villain]] if not a [[Harmless Villain]], though.

 

* The name of the most powerful Chaos sorcerer from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''.

 

* Also a recurring monster in the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series.

* [[Big Bad]] of the ''[[Prince of Persia]]'' reboot.

 

 

* Also, the demon possessing [[Devilman|Akira Fudoh]].

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' had Adrian Gecko as "Amon Garam" in the original Japanese versions.

 

* ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'' has a demon binder named Ammon Jerro.

* Amon is the name for the Sinistral of Chaos in the first two ''[[Lufia]]'' games.

* In ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'' and its sequel, Amon is one part of a demonic trinity. It is first used by Albert Simon to combat Yuri. It later becomes the method Yuri uses to challenge the second games [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] who had made pacts with the other two points on the trinity, Asmodeus and Astaroth.

 

* Amon from ''[[The Legend of Korra]]''

 

* Real life Nazi Commandant Amon Goeth, featured in ''[[Schindler's List]]''.

 

 

 

* [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Nightcrawler's]] father calls himself Azazel.

 

* The body-hopping demon squaring off against [[Denzel Washington]] in ''[[Fallen]]''.

 

 

* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' Seasons 1 and 2, revealed at the end of Season 4 to have actually have been taking orders from Lucifer.

* It's spelled with three a's in the television series ''[[Hex]]'', but the intention is still there.

 

* There's a little-known (and rather bad) c-64 game called ''Death Bringer''. Its main villain is named Azazael.

 

 

* Beelzemon from the original ''[[Digimon]]'', although he'd eventually make a [[Heel Face Turn]]. .

 

* Ronan '[[Rouge Angles of Satin|Beelzbub]]', the "[[Designated Hero|hero]]" of ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]''. However, it's unlikely the author actually knew the origin of the name and simply used it because it [[Rule of Cool|sounded cool]]. Although, it ''is'' a fitting name, considering how demonic and evil the [[Jerk Sue|cha]][[God Mode Sue|rac]][[Lemon Stu|ter]] is .

 

* A giant prehistoric toad has been named Beelzebufo.

 

 

 

* BelialVamdemon, [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]''. ''Digimon'' loves this, apparently. Was dubbed as MaloMyotismon, which still evokes the adjective variety, but fell flat. Then again, so did BelialVamdemon.

** Then again, according to some mythos, Belial was ''the very demon who tempted Lucifer''.

* ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'': The Mad Hatter, one of the Seven Satans of Hell, whose sin is Pride, was given the name Belial by God. Not only does Kaori Yuki mention that the name means useless, but Belial is also mentioned as being in love with Lucifer.

 

* The deformed twin brother in ''[[Basket Case]]''.

** As a side note, one of the heroes is named Azrael, below.

 

* Belial means "worthless" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, wicked or lawless men were commonly referred to as "sons of Belial."

 

 

A recent development, as historically Damien is the name of at least [[wikipedia:Father Damien|one saint]].

 

* Of ''[[The Prophecy (film)|The Prophecy]]'' and ''[[The Omen]]'' fame

 

* Also features in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''.

 

* In the web serie [[Flanders Company]], the character [[Nice Guy|Damien Parker]] is revealed toward season 2 to possess a [[Super-Powered Evil Side|second, psychotic personnality with awfully powerful psychic abilities]]. In order to distinguish the two personnalities from each other, the "good" personnality is referred as "Dr Parker", while the evil one is referred as "Damien".

 

* Damien, the son of Satan on ''[[South Park]]''.

 

 

 

* Hiruma from ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' has the kanji for "demon" in his name, 魔. His name literally means "Devil in broad daylight"...

* The Demon sisters, the [[Devil in Plain Sight|red-skinned girls]] who first appear as the new school queens in episode 6 of ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]''. {{spoiler|[[Captain Obvious|Guess what?]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|They're demons.]]}}

 

* [http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/demonstaffdargo.htm Demonstaff]

 

* Demonica from the [[PlayStation 2]] medieval take on Powerstone, ''Barbarian''. Though her story is different, you can definitely see the resemblance in body stance, personality, and the reasons for despising humans.

* Akuma from ''[[Street Fighter]]''.

* The Demon of the Western Sea Chousokabe Motochika and Shimazu the Ogre from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]''.

 

* ''[[Girl Genius]]'': One of the Mongfish sisters was named Demonica.

 

* Not to state the obvious or anything, but Demona from ''[[Gargoyles]]''.

 

* [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Demon_core The Demon Core], a fourteen pound ball of Plutonium that was used in various experiments during the 1940s. Lab accidents lead to two researchers dying of acute radiation poisoning.

 

 

 

* Diavolo (Italian for "devil") from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''

* The ''Devil Z'' from ''[[Wangan Midnight]]'', a car so powerful and dangerous that all previous owners have met with often fatal crashes.

* The Tuffles in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' verse, whose name sounds like the German word for devil.

* Devil (Dark) Gundam in ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]''.

 

* [[New Gods/Characters|Devilance the Pursuer]], member of [[Darkseid]]'s elite.

 

* Mrs. Deverill from [[The Power of Five|Raven's Gate]]

 

* Mr DeVille in ''[[A Life Less Ordinary]]'', the villain in a [[Celestial Bureaucracy]] story.

 

* Devilicus from the "Warrior Angel" comics in ''[[Smallville]]''. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|He was once best friends with Warrior Angel, a visitor from another planet, but later became one of his greatest enemies.]]

 

* ''[[Diablo (series)|Diablo]]'', the Lord of Terror and the lord of all demons from the game series bearing his name. This one may be too obvious to count in, however.

* Devil King from ''[[Sengoku Basara|Devil Kings]]''.

* Does being named after a chord specifically nicknamed "The Devil in Music" count? Because if it does, chalk one up for {{spoiler|[[Pokémon Black and White|Ghetsis (G-Cis tritone) Harmonia]], the [[Complete Monster|biggest]] [[Knight of Cerebus|bad yet]] in ''Pokemon''}}.

 

** ''Cruel'' Devil, indeed. Just run away now.

 

 

 

* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' the Sonozaki sisters and their grandmother all have the character for 'oni' (demon) in their names. (The twins' mother did, too, but had to change the spelling when she got married.) It's an [[In the Blood|old family tradition]]...

* For ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', the assassins of the Varia squad have names like Leviathan, Belphegor, and Mammon.

* Lala Satalin (for "Satan") Deviluke and Nana Asta (for "Astaroth") Deviluke from ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]''.

 

* Heavily subverted in Timothy Zahn's ''Heir to the Empire'' trilogy, as, when Han and Lando first meet Garm Bel Iblis, they disagree on whether he can be trusted, with Han sure he's on the up-and-up, while Lando is more suspicious. [[Genre Savvy|Readers familiar with this trope]] might tend to side with Lando, since Garm was the name, in Norse myth, of the Hound that guarded the gate to the underworld, while Bel, an alternate spelling of ba'al, in Christian demonology, was/is the name of a demon, while, Iblis is, in Arabic, an alternate name for Satan. It turns out, however, that Han is right and Garm Bel Iblis is a straightforward white-hat.

* The true name of the Dark One in ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'' is Shai'tan, an anglicized form of the Arabic word for Satan.

* In [[H. Beam Piper]]'s Future History, the System States Alliance that rebelled against [[The Federation]] seems to have been founded on worlds named after demons: Belphegor, Ashmodai, and Baphomet are just three of the planet names mentioned. The System Staters' descendants in the Sword Worlds, nearly a thousand years later, used curses like, [[Oh My Gods|"Great Satan!"]]

 

* ''[[Kings]]'' Vesper Abbadon, portrayed by Brian Cox.

 

* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' has the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] Sisters of Purgatory: Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Belphegor, and Mammon. Their main job in the series is carrying out human sacrifices to resurrect their mistress. (And [[Fan Service]].)

** The demons from ''[[Ars Goetia]]'' - Ronove, Gaap, Zepar, and Furfur - also follow this trope pretty well, to the same extent as the Stakes of Purgatory.

* Caim from ''[[Drakengard]]''. Named after a demon of the ''[[Ars Goetia]]''. Rides a [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|dragon]]. [[Ax Crazy|Completely]] '''''[[Ax Crazy|batshit insane]]'''''.

 

* Doc Scratch from ''[[Homestuck]]'', an enigmatic, subtle figure with mysterious, vast powers and ambiguous morality at best, almost like Old Scratch himself.

 

* Chernabog (Slavic for "black god") in ''[[Fantasia]]''.

 

 

* Doctor Hell from ''[[Mazinger Z]]''. The dubbed version (''[[Tranzor Z]]'') was worried people might be offended by that, so they called him "Doctor Demon" instead. Yeah, that's a LOT better.

* ''[[Inuyasha|Inu Yasha]]'' has [[Villain Sue|Naraku]], a pun on the word "Naraka", the term for Hell in Buddhism.

 

* The [[Trope Namer]] and [[Ur Example]] would have to be Hel, the [[Norse Mythology]] death goddess. Her realm is also called Hel, and this name was later absorbed into the English language to refer to the Christian underworld.

 

* ''[[Front Mission]]: [[Gaiden Game|Gun Hazard]]'' has Colonel Ark Hellbrand, whose military takeover of the [[Ruritania|Republic of Bergen]] kicks off the plot. Really, though, putting a guy with a last name like "Hellbrand" in charge of anything but maybe a fundraising dinner is [[Genre Blind]] bordering on [[Too Dumb to Live|suicidal]].

 

 

 

* Infernals are giant golems of rock and fire summoned by demons and warlocks in ''[[Warcraft]] III'' and ''[[World of Warcraft]]''.

 

* Two words: ''Vampyroteuthis infernalis'', literally "[[wikipedia:Vampire Squid|Vampire Squid from Hell]]".

 

 

See also [[Louis Cypher]].

 

* Lucemon of ''[[Digimon Frontier]]''.

* If you go for a variant on "beelzebub" or "satan", you'll generally look like you're trying too hard, though. Unless you're in Japan: Mr. Satan (from ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z''). He's not evil, though, and while he'd be a [[Badass]] in any other Verse, in DBZ he's a [[Muggle]] with [[Fake Ultimate Hero|delusions of grandeur]]. ''[[Digimon]]'' also gives us Demon, Beelzebumon, and SkullSatamon. They were dubbed as Daemon, Beelzemon, and... SkullSatamon?!

* Ulquiorra Cifer from ''[[Bleach]]''.

* Gid '''Lucion''' Deviluke in ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]''.

 

* [[Anti-Hero]] of his own [[Vertigo Comics]] comic book of the same name

 

* Of course [[Louis Cypher|Louis/Luis Cypher]] (''[[Angel Heart]]'', ''[[The Matrix]]''...)

 

* Also, Lucius Malfoy from ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''

* Le Chiffre, of ''[[Casino Royale]]'', gets bonus points for being a pretty good spy name even in translation - it means "the number" or "the cypher".

 

* Similarily, "Lucien" is also a name to be found on dangerous people, as ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|Oblivion]]'', ''[[Fable (video game series)|Fable]]'', and ''[[RuneScape]]'' demonstrate.

* Lucifron, a monster which looks like [http://www.wowpedia.org/images/7/76/Luci.jpg this], in ''[[World of Warcraft]]''.

* The [[Big Bad]] in the ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts N Goblins]]'' series, although he was renamed Loki or Rushifell in the American versions of some of the games.

 

* ''[[Girl Genius]]'': [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Lucifer Mongfish]], [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|father]] of [[Big Bad|Lucrezia]], Serpentina, and Demonica. They themselves qualify for different categories of this trope.

 

* Lucius Henious VII and his son, Beezy on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.

* Lucifer the Cat from Disney's ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'', the original [[LOLcats|Basement Cat]].

 

* When the original Dr Faustus made his [[Deal with the Devil]], ''this'' was the demon he made the deal with.

 

* In the manga, ''Ao no Exorcist'' (''Blue Exorcist'' in America), Mephisto Pheles is the head of the Japan branch of the Order. [[Sarcasm Mode|GEE I WONDER WHY THAT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR???]]

 

 

* The former king of Hell in ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]''

 

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' doesn't use the entire name, but do have a Blood Angels [[Magic Knight|Librarian]] called Mephiston.

 

* One of the Undead's Dreadlord hero units in ''[[Warcraft]] 3'' bears the name Mephistroth.

* Also Mephisto from the ''[[Diablo (series)|Diablo]]'' series.

 

 

 

* The name of the [[Respawning Enemies|self-replicating]] demon in the first ''[[Hellboy (film)|Hellboy]]''.

* Alec [[Sdrawkcab Name|Leamas]] from ''The Spy Who Came in from the Cold'', the [[Anti-Hero]] protagonist. His status as a [[The Mole|double agent]] in a [[Crapsack World]] of [[Black and Gray Morality]] references the angel's simultaneous good and evil.

 

* The Forsaken Sammael from ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''.

 

* Lucifer's original name from the [[Lucifer (comics)|Vertigo comic mentioned under that name.]]

 

* The [[Big Bad]] in Volume 5 of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''.

 

* The Master of the [[Warhammer 40,000|Dark Angels 3rd Company]], Sammael of the Ravenwing (which in itself probably qualifies for this trope).

 

* The Demon Lord Samael from ''[[Darksiders]]''.

* Dahlia informs the protagonist that the strange marks around [[Silent Hill]] are the mark of Samael, who will enter the world to destroy it if Harry does not take the talisman she gives him to the right place in time. {{spoiler|She's lying. Her cult is trying to summon their "god," and the talisman allows her to break into Alessa's otherworld.}}

 

* ''[[Errant Story]]'' gives us Ian Samael, recently {{spoiler|[[Possessed/mind Rape|mind raped]] by an ancient elven goddess}}. On a good day, he's simply a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]. On a bad one, he's a [[Person of Mass Destruction]], with very little regard for minor concerns like collateral damage.

 

* Considering the [[Theme Naming]] of the series, possibly Samuel "Samy" Garvin on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.

 

 

For anyone who wishes to keep track, [[wikipedia:Enochian angels|here is a convenient score card]] for the Angel team.

 

 

** [[Embarrassing Middle Name|She hates it]] [[Fluffy the Terrible|when people call her "Kitty"]].

* ''[[Black Butler]]'' has two: Angelina Durless (aka Madame Red) {{spoiler|who is actually one-half of Jack The Ripper}}, and [[Light Is Not Good|Angela Blanc]] {{spoiler|the female identity of a [[Gender Bender|hermaphroditic]] [[Our Angels Are Different|batshit crazy angel]] who wants to [[Pure Is Not Good|purify]] London by [[Kill It with Fire|burning out the sin]]}}.

* The mind-rending, city-destroying, giant alien monsters of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are called Angels. While some have almost beautiful shapes, most are bestial monsters or, seemingly, physically impossible (such as a 600-metre by 3 nanometre floating circle and a floating, proton beam-firing octahedron) Furthermore, the most beautiful Angel, Arael, a giant, glowing, winged creature in space, is the cause of the trope-naming [[Mind Rape]], and is a prime example of [[Light Is Not Good]].

 

* Angela in ''[[Spawn]]''

 

 

* Angela, the [[Cloudcuckoolander|kooky]] but fearsome witch from the ''[[Inheritance Cycle]].''

 

* [[Magnificent Bastard|Angela]] from ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''.

* If he's going by [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Angel]], you're probably going to live. If he's calling himself [[Complete Monster|Angelus]], run like hell.

 

* Destroying Angel mushrooms, which contain some of the deadliest known mycotoxins. Even touching one can kill you.

* The Angel of Death was the nickname of the infamous [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazi]] concentration camp doctor Josef Mengele.

 

Anglicized form of the name for the Angel of Death in Islam and some Hebrew lore.

 

* [[Complete Monster|Muruta Azrael]] of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]]'', an [[Smug Snake|arrogant]], [[He-Man Woman Hater|misogynistic]], [[Fantastic Racism|racist]] lobbyist and politician who seeks to [[Final Solution|kill every]] [[Born Winner|Coordinator]] in existence with [[Nuke'Em|nuclear weapons]] and uses [[Psycho Serum|drugged up]] [[Tyke Bomb|Tykebombs]] as front-line [[Child Soldier|Child Soldiers]]. Oh and he's a [[Sore Loser]] to boot. Start running now.

 

* [[Azrael|Anti-heroes]] from the [[Batman|Batverse]].

 

* Demon in ''[[Dogma]]''

 

* Asriel of ''[[His Dark Materials]]''.

* The real guy shows up in ''[[Good Omens]]'', and in one of the ''[[Discworld]]'' books.

* Azreal, the leader of the Poppy Warriors in the [[Gemma Doyle]] Trilogy.

 

* The subject of "Azrael" by proto-prog group The Nice.

 

* Current Chapter Master of the Dark Angels in ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' is one Azrael.

 

* Azurile from ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters|Dragon Warrior Monsters]]''

* Izual from ''[[Diablo (series)|Diablo]] II'' is possibly a corruption of this name.

* A major villain in ''[[Chaos Legion]]''.

 

* Gargamel's pet cat in ''[[The Smurfs]]''

 

 

Possibly due to [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]; and the [[Did Not Do the Research|vaguest recollection]] that it was something in the Bible; which is [[Faux Symbolism|Significant]]. Baffling when you ponder that it means "exit."

 

* ''Exodia, The Forbidden One'' will instantly win a ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' game when summoned.

 

* [[X-Men/Characters/Villains|Exodus]] (born Bennet du Paris) is a [[Marvel Comics]] [[Super Villain]].

 

* The Exodar in ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. Bonus points for being the Draenei's means of ''exit'' from Draenor.

* One way the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' was [[Spell My Name with an "S"|translated]] before it was officially settled to "Exdeath"; others have included "Exodia."

 

 

This one's a double whammy with the whole Angel of Death / left hand of God thing.

 

* The Angels in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are all named after biblical angels except for the first two, which are named Adam and Lilith.

 

* The possible real name of the main character in ''[[Van Helsing]]''.

* Gabriel, the Big Bad of ''[[The Prophecy (film)|The Prophecy]]''.

 

* Subverted with ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians|Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'''s [[Jerkass]] stepdad "Smelly Gabe".

* And played completely straight in ''Far From the Madding Crowd'' with the character of [[Faux Symbolism|Gabriel Oak]]

 

* Sylar's real name in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''

* Also the name of the mysterious "other" ghost whisperer on ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]''.

* Subverted in ''[[Carnivale]]''. Gabriel is the angelic, child-like strongman son of Ruthie the snake charmer. He's [[Berserk Button|only dangerous when someone hurts his momma]].

 

* The Force Commander from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]: Dawn of War''. Bonus points for his name being Gabriel ''Angelos''.

 

 

 

* The serial killer in the ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' two-parter "The Big Game"/"Revelations" has an alternate personality who believes himself to ''be'' the actual, biblical one.

* On ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' he is the voice of religious fundamentalism and zealotry in heaven. Oh that, and he wants to restart the apocalypse which the Winchester boys had previously averted.

 

* [[Soul Series/Characters|Raphael Sorel]] from the [[Soul Series]].

 

 

 

* From ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', we have a [[Knife Nut]] [[Evil Prince|crown prince]] who wants to off his equally insane younger twin Belphegor and claim the throne.

* Averted with Raziel from [[Christopher Moore|Christopher Moore's]] [[The Verse|verse]]. While he can come off as quite terrifying, he's actually the origin of [[Dumb Blonde]] jokes, and with good reason. Sent to Earth to grant the Christmas wish of a distraught child, he intends to bring back a [[Mall Santa]] the kid saw inadvertently killed, but winds up resurrecting an entire graveyard worth of brain-hungry zombies. In [[Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff|Lamb]], tops himself over and over, leading to pinnacle example of Raziel-ness:

{{quote|"The angel confided in me that he is going to ask the Lord if he can become Spider-Man"}}

 

* Raziel is one of the Celestial Hebdomad from the ''Book of Exalted Deeds'' from '''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' third edition. He's the most warlike of the archangels, and is a [[Demon Slayer|slayer of fiends]].

 

* Raziel from the ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' series.

 

 

* Uriel makes several appearances in ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', helping out the protagonist, Harry Dresden, who nicknames him Mr Sunshine. Heavily implied to be the most dangerous archangel, and outright stated to be 'Heaven's spook' and he who killed the firstborn of Egypt. He also gives Harry a very nasty fright when he objects to being called 'Uri'. Justified in that Harry's nicknames in particular have power, and that part of his name is very important.

* The name of a planet visited in ''[[A Wrinkle in Time]]'', Particularly the one where the children ride on the back of Mrs. Whatsit, who has transformed into a sort of winged centaur.

* In Dean Koontz's novel ''[[Hideaway]]'', The Angel who it is strongly implied {{spoiler|Was the source of Hatch Harrison's visions, and who speaks and acts through him as he kills Vassago, who we know had renamed himself after a Demon.}}

 

* In ''[[Manchester Lost]]'' and ''Fanfic/Paradise Thwarted'', he is one of the 4 archangels, and as in the above, possibly the strongest. However, he is also a complete [[Cloudcuckoolander]] and intersperses moments of pure Badass (he nearly rips Lucifer in half! And throws him all over the place) with hilarious moments e.g. hugging people, becoming a fluffy bunny magnet for 3 weeks and being utterly oblivious to Belial's attentions, Belial being Archdevil of Lust.

 

* Uriel from [[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]] appears at first as just another dickish angel ([[Crapsack World|Of which there are many]]) who just doesn't like the Winchesters. {{spoiler|And then he tries to kickstart Armageddon.}}

 

* [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|Emperor Uriel Septim]].

* One of the fighters from ''[[Quake III Arena]]'' is an ancient gargoyle type thing with this name.
