A spiritual or heavenly being functioning primarily as a messenger and intermediary between a transcendent deity and humanity; angels also act as protectors, guides, and executors of divine will across several Abrahamic and adjacent traditions.
In Latter Day Saint narratives, Moroni is a post‑mortem, angelic messenger and custodian of sacred scripture who is said to have appeared to Joseph Smith beginning in 1823 to reveal and deliver the golden plates that became the Book of Mormon. He is portrayed as a resurrected/ministering human who functions as intermediary, guardian of records, and revealer to a chosen prophet.
A New England colonial legend of a sudden, providential defender who appeared in Hadley, Massachusetts during attacks in King Philip's War. The figure is commonly identified in tradition with the fugitive regicide Colonel William Goffe; accounts blend possible historical actions, contemporary silence or obfuscation, and later legendary embellishment that calls the rescuer an 'angel.'
A Catholic devotional national guardian angel venerated as the heavenly custodian of Portugal. Recognized in popular devotion, private revelation narratives (notably the 1916 visitations connected to Fátima), and in Portuguese liturgical practice through a feast instituted in the early 16th century and restored in the 20th century.
A recurring divine messenger in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament who appears on behalf of the God of Israel, acting as God's representative in speech and deed.

A high-ranking heavenly attendant described in Hebrew and Second Temple literature as one who "stands in the presence" of God and acts on God's behalf toward Israel. Sources treat the figure either as an elite created angelic office (one of the attendants who enter before the Lord) or, alternately, as a scriptural idiom referring to God's own saving presence.
A World War I legend of a supernatural force that intervened to protect British troops during the Battle of Mons (23 August 1914). Originating in Arthur Machen's short story "The Bowmen" and amplified by wartime press, spiritualist magazines, sermons and memoirs, the phenomenon was variously described as phantom medieval bowmen, a luminous cloud, or angelic warriors associated with Christian figures such as St. George, Joan of Arc, or the archangel Michael.
Annas (Hebrew Ḥānān; Greek Ἅννας) was a first-century CE Jewish high priest of Judaea (AD 6–15) whose familial network and continued influence made him a central figure in priestly leadership in Jerusalem and in New Testament narratives of the Passion and early Christian episodes.
Anthony the Great (Antony) was an Egyptian Christian monk and ascetic (c. 251–356) whose life, as recorded by Athanasius and later commemorations, made him the exemplar 'Father of All Monks.' His biography frames ascetic practices and persistent prayer as the means by which he endured demonic temptations and guided later monastic communities.
An eschatological oppositional figure in Christian tradition who opposes Jesus Christ and may appear either as a present spirit or as a single climactic deceiver before the Second Coming. The term functions both as a category of false teachers and as a particular latter‑day 'lawless one' identified with apocalyptic images in Daniel, Paul, and Revelation.
Antinoe (Ancient Greek: Ἀντινόη) is primarily attested as a proper name in classical and later sources: several mortal women in Greek myth (founding and tragic narratives) and as the place-name Antinopolis/Antinoë in Roman Egypt. The surveyed materials do not present Antinoe as a discrete supernatural being, nor record rituals or wards directed against an entity by this name.
Antioche is a variant form of the Greek personal name more commonly rendered as Antiope, attested for several distinct women in Greek myth (including Amazonic and dynastic figures) and reused as a toponym and ecclesiastical/literary name in later traditions. The sources treat Antioche not as a single supernatural class but as a personal name with multiple local and literary usages.
Aphrahat was a fourth‑century Syriac Christian ascetic and author in the Sasanian Empire, venerated later as "the Persian Sage."

An archangel is a ranked heavenly messenger in Abrahamic and related religious literatures, understood in many traditions as a high‑level angelic agent charged with carrying out divine missions. The term and ranked office are framed by Greek etymology (archángelos, 'chief messenger') and by medieval Christian angelology (notably Pseudo‑Dionysius), while named figures such as Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael appear across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic texts and liturgies.
A high-ranking infernal or non‑human spiritual being that functions as a leader, king, or princely figure within hostile supernatural hierarchies. Appears across Christian/occult, Islamic/Middle Eastern, and Zoroastrian contexts as commanding subordinate demons, jinn, or evil spirits and acting in opposition to divine or benevolent spiritual authorities.
In Gnostic traditions, an archon (Greek ἄρχων, árchōn) is a cosmic ruler or architect of the visible, material cosmos. Archons function as intermediate powers that construct, govern, and limit the created world and are frequently depicted as obstacles to the soul's return to higher spiritual realms.

It appears as a geometric figure on khachkars and church walls, embodying the significance of faith and symbolism in Armenian tradition. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial (as it's described as an "ancient" national symbol, but there's no indication that it's deity-level) - Appearance: Not enough detail is provided; the source material only ment)
Argeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀργεύς, "the hunter") is a personal and place-name attested across classical, Christian, and modern contexts.

Asmodaios; Arabic Sakhr in some accounts) is a named malignant spirit appearing in Near Eastern Jewish, Christian deuterocanonical, and later Islamic storytelling.

Astaroth is a named adversarial spirit in Christian demonological literature, commonly catalogued as a high-ranking infernal officer (described in sources as a 'Great Duke' or 'Grand Duke' of Hell).

Azrael is the canonical angel of death in Islamic tradition and appears earlier in apocryphal Christian literature; portrayed as a high‑ranking, God‑ordained psychopomp who removes and transports souls, keeps a register of human fates, and acts only under divine command.

He is portrayed as a liminal prophetic figure who receives divine visions and utters oracular poems but is morally contested in later traditions for his alleged role in leading Israel to transgression.

Beatrice (Bice) di Folco Portinari appears in Dante Alighieri's works as the personified embodiment of beatific love, divine grace, and theological vision who intercedes for and ultimately guides the pilgrim from human reason into Paradise.
