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.
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.
Antiochus is primarily a Greek personal name (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίοχος) borne by multiple historical, dynastic, and mythic figures in the Hellenistic world; most notably it names Seleucid kings including Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who figures in Jewish historical memory as the antagonist linked to the Maccabean Revolt and the origin of Hanukkah. The sources do not present Antiochus as a single coherent supernatural being.
Arariel is an angel attested in rabbinic tradition as having charge over the waters of the Earth. Later popular and New Age sources expand this terse attribution into devotional uses (invocation for fishing, mental calm), but primary sources recorded here offer only the brief custodial office.
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.
Ariel is named in the provided materials as an angel appearing primarily in Jewish and Christian mysticism and apocrypha. The supplied sources give the Hebrew form אֲרִיאֵל (romanized ʾÁrīʾēl) and identify Ariel as an angelic figure but do not provide further doctrinal, narrative, or ritual detail.
Arioch (Hebrew: אַרְיוֹךְ, ’Aryōḵ) is a personal name recorded in Genesis 14 as the "king of Ellasar" who took part in a coalition of kings at the Battle of Siddim. In later literary, occult, and popular-fantasy traditions the name is reused for various infernal or chaotic personae (e.g., listed in grimoires as a demon, named among fallen angels in Milton, a lord of Chaos in Michael Moorcock, and a duke of Hell in Greyhawk lore).
Armilus is an eschatological anti-messiah figure in medieval Jewish apocalyptic literature who rises at the end of days to conquer the nations, persecute Israel, and is ultimately destroyed by the Jewish Messiah and divine intervention. He functions as a foil to messianic figures and is variously portrayed with syncretic origins and differing physical descriptions across sources.
Asherah is a major ancient Northwest Semitic mother-and-fertility divine figure closely associated with sacred trees and wooden cult poles. Attested across Ugarit, Canaanite/Phoenician, Israelite, Akkadian and related Levantine contexts, her cultic presence is debated in later Israelite texts where references are often recast as objects (asherah poles, groves) and subject to iconoclastic reform.
Ashima is an ancient West Semitic goddess personifying fate — the portion, name, or allotted lot — attested in West Semitic onomastic and textual contexts. She appears in Iron Age Samaritan cult lists and in the wider Near Eastern lexical field of deities and terms for 'fate' (cognate with Akkadian shimti and South Semitic Manāt).
Ashteroth Karnaim is an ancient place-name in the biblical and Near Eastern record—a city or paired cities in the region of Bashan (Transjordan) associated with the goddess Astarte (Ashtoreth) and described in some sources as the ‘abode of the Rephaim.’ It is attested in Bronze‑ and Iron‑Age texts and later Hellenistic traditions, and is identified with several proposed archaeological sites (e.g., Tell Ashtara, al‑Shaykh Saad) though the exact location remains debated.
Asiya is the Qur'anic figure presented as the wife of the Pharaoh in the era of Moses who secretly embraced monotheism, adopted and preserved the infant Moses, and is venerated in Islamic tradition as an exemplary righteous woman promised a house in Paradise for her faith and steadfastness.
Asmodai (variants: Asmodeus, Asmodaeus, Ashmedai) is a named, kingly malign spirit attested in late-antique and medieval Judaeo-Christian narrative traditions — most prominently the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit and legends about Solomon — where he functions as a leading hostile spirit who troubles humans.
Asmodeus (Heb. Ashmedai/Ashmeday; Gr. Asmodaios; Arabic Sakhr in some accounts) is a named malignant spirit appearing in Near Eastern Jewish, Christian deuterocanonical, and later Islamic storytelling. Traditions portray him as a princely or kingly figure among malevolent spirits who intervenes in human affairs—notably hostile to marriages and in contest with King Solomon—and who can be driven off or bound by ritual fumigation and angelic agency.
Ataroth is a toponym attested in Iron Age Levantine sources (Hebrew Bible and the Mesha Stele). The name labels several distinct towns east and west of the Jordan and functions in those texts as a marker of tribal allotment, territorial boundary, settlement, and cultic-political action.
An automaton is a crafted, self‑operating mechanical device or engineered construct described in ancient myth, technical history, and modern usage; in traditional accounts it is a human‑made figure or mechanism that imitates living actions through concealed mechanisms rather than by an animating spirit.

Azariah (Hebrew: עֲזַרְיָה ‘Ǎzaryāh, 'Yah has helped') is principally a theophoric Hebrew personal name borne by multiple figures in biblical, apocryphal, and modern contexts. In the provided sources it appears as the name of a prophet in 2 Chronicles 15:1–8, as an alias used by the archangel Raphael in the Book of Tobit, as a guardian-angel name in modern private revelation, and as the name of various priests, kings, and later individuals.
Azariah IV is presented in the supplied materials as a label applied to a biblical/historical person bearing the theophoric name Azariah (Hebrew Azaryah/Azari'ah). The sources do not treat Azariah IV as a supernatural being; rather, Azariah is one of several individuals named in Israelite genealogies, priestly lists, and prophetic narratives (e.g., 1 Chronicles 6; prophetic episode with King Asa).
In earliest biblical usage Azazel is a ritual locus or destination in the Yom Kippur scapegoat rite to which communal sins are sent; in later Second Temple and subsequent Christian and Islamic receptions Azazel becomes personified as a fallen angel associated with rebellion and the transmission of forbidden knowledge to humans.
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. In some extra‑Quranic and exegetical accounts he is depicted with vast, awe‑inspiring physical attributes and in a few apocryphal Christian texts he is associated with punitive afterlife functions.
Baal (bāʿal) is a Northwest Semitic title meaning 'owner' or 'lord' that served as a theonym in the ancient Levant; in Ugaritic and Canaanite texts it appears as the name/title of a prominent storm and fertility god (often rendered Baʿal Haddu) who features centrally in the Baal Cycle and in regional cults tied to rain, fertility, and kingship. In later monotheistic literatures the term becomes a polemical label for rival or foreign deities and is reinterpreted in various receptions.
Bagdana is the name of a supernatural being attested in early medieval Mesopotamian Jewish magical texts. The name occurs on Aramaic incantation texts and on incantation bowls from Nippur, where it appears among named spirits addressed by ritual practitioners.
Balaam (Hebrew Bīlʿām) is a non‑Israelite seer/diviner attested in the Hebrew Bible and in an extra‑biblical West Semitic inscription (Deir Alla). 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.
A colossal bird from Jewish tradition, described as having a massive wingspan large enough to block out the sun. (Note: * Power tier should be at least Ancient, given its ability to block out the sun. * Origin story section is missing, with no information provided by Source 1. * No specific weaknesses or wards mentione)
Barachiel (Hebrew: בַּרַכְאֵל, Baraḵʾēl, 'God has blessed') is an archangelic figure in Jewish mystical literature and in Byzantine Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian devotion, traditionally associated with blessings, guardianship of family and married life, and as chief of guardian angels.

Baruch ben Neriah (Hebrew: Bārūḵ ben Nērīyyā) is presented in the Judaic and Christian literary tradition as the scribe, disciple, secretary, and devoted companion of the prophet Jeremiah (c. 6th century BCE). He is remembered as the recorder and public reader of Jeremiah’s prophecies and as the putative author or eponymous attributee of later deuterocanonical and pseudepigraphical works (Book of Baruch; 2 Baruch, 3 Baruch).
Beburos is a named angel attested in the Greek Apocalypse of Ezra (Revelation of Esdras) as one of nine heavenly beings who will "govern at the end of the world." The figure is non‑canonical and known primarily from this apocryphal source and modern reference glossaries that reproduce the roster.
Originally the name of a Philistine city-deity of Ekron recorded in the Hebrew Bible (2 Kings), Baʿal-zəḇūḇ was later used in Jewish polemic as a derisive title and appears in Christian texts as a designation for a principal demonic figure (rendered Beelzebul/Beelzebub) often called the 'prince of demons.' Over subsequent centuries the name is incorporated into medieval and early modern demonological hierarchies and literary depictions of infernal powers.
Beeri (Hebrew: בְּאֵרִי, Bə’êrî) is a personal name appearing in the Hebrew Bible for at least two distinct human figures: a Hittite father of Judith (Genesis 26:34) and the father of the prophet Hosea (Book of Hosea). Jewish tradition treats the latter as a minor prophetic figure whose brief utterances are traditionally linked to Isaiah 8:19–20.
Primordial creature from Jewish tradition, representing chaos-monster or embodiment of primordial forces. (Note: - Power tier should be revised as Primordial is not an official power tier classification; however, given Behemoth's abilities and origin story, it can be re-classified as Ancient (deity-level). - App)

Belphegor is a named infernal figure in Christian and later European literary and occult traditions, commonly identified in those traditions with the ancient Near Eastern figure Baal‑Peor. In demonological lists he is associated with particular vices (notably sloth, though some sources assign gluttony), and literary treatments depict him as a tempter who offers wealth, inventions, or incarnate visitation to lead humans into sin.
Bene Elohim (בני־אֱלֹהִים) is a Hebrew phrase used in the Hebrew Bible and related literature to denote "sons of God" or "sons of the gods." It functions as a collective designation for divine or semi-divine beings associated with a heavenly council or, in some interpretive traditions, as a flexible category that can include angelic ranks or, alternatively, human groups (e.g., descendants of Seth or judges).
Beor (Hebrew Bor) is a personal name attested in biblical and extrabiblical sources chiefly as the father of the non‑Israelite seer Balaam. He functions as a patronymic identifier that locates Balaam within ancient Near Eastern genealogical and onomastic networks; sources do not present Beor as an independent supernatural agent.
Bigthan and Teresh are named human court officials—described as eunuchs or chamberlains—in the Book of Esther (Esther 2:21–23). They conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus; Mordecai exposed the plot, the conspirators were apprehended and executed, and the incident becomes a pivotal narrative device in Esther's account and later commentary.
Binah (Hebrew: בִּינָה Bīnā, "understanding") is the third sephirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, a non-personal divine attribute that receives, contains and structures the undifferentiated creative impulse (Chokmah).

In Jewish tradition, the Bosom of Abraham is a concept representing a state or location within Sheol where righteous individuals await redemption after death. (Note: * Power tier should be Primordial (as it's a concept within Sheol, which is often described as a cosmic realm) * Origin story needs more context from source material; association with Abraham's righte)

Appearing in sources such as the Ars Goetia (Lesser Key of Solomon), the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, the Munich Manual of Demonic Magic (as Otius), and mentioned in the Grand Grimoire as subordinate to Agaliarept, he is summoned by ritual operators to answer questions, reveal knowledge, and reconcile allies and enemies.
A nocturnal bird entity in Jewish folklore that sucks milk from goats and human blood at night. (Note: - Power tier: Greater (broxa's sucking of human blood suggests a higher power level than Minor Spirit) - Weaknesses: not specified in source material - Wards: not specified in source material)
Bukki (Hebrew: בֻּקִּי, Buqqī) is attested in biblical and related traditions as a personal name borne by at least two distinct human figures: a Danite prince named in Numbers 34:22 and a member of the Aaronid priestly genealogy recorded in 1 Chronicles (and echoed in Ezra-related lists). The name appears in variant forms across textual traditions (e.g., Boccas, Borith) and in modern secular usages unrelated to the ancient individuals.
A theophanic phenomenon in Judaeo‑Christian‑Islamic scriptural tradition in which a bramble (Hebrew seneh) appears aflame yet unconsumed and functions as the locus of divine speech that commissions Moses. Later devotional practice localizes and commemorates the site at Sinai/Horeb, especially at Saint Catherine's Monastery where a living bramble is venerated.
Buzi (Hebrew: בּוּזִי, Būzī) is attested in Hebrew sources as the father of the prophet Ezekiel and identified as a priest of Jerusalem (Ezekiel 1:3). The name derives from the Hebrew Buz (בּוּז), which can mean 'despise' or indicate descent from Buz son of Nahor; later traditions sometimes read the name thematically rather than ascribing further biographical detail.
Caiaphas (Joseph ben Caiaphas) is attested in New Testament and later Jewish sources as the Jewish High Priest in Jerusalem in the early first century CE. He functions in the Gospel narratives and Acts as a senior temple official and a leading member of the council of chief priests who weigh political and cultic interests and who are portrayed as instrumental in the arrest and trial of Jesus.

Chochmah (Heb. חָכְמָה; also Chokmah/Chokhmah) is a metaphysical principle in Jewish Kabbalistic thought: the second of the ten sefirot, described as the primordial point of divine wisdom — the first flash of conscious intellect that issues from Keter and becomes intelligible through Binah.
Chokmah (חָכְמָה, 'wisdom') is the second sefirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, described in classical kabbalistic texts as the primordial point of divine wisdom that emerges from Keter and precedes differentiation by Binah. It functions as an abstract metaphysical principle and cognitive archetype rather than a personified spirit in the provided sources.
A functional category of divine agents held responsible for the origin of the world, Earth, and universe within a given religious or mythological system. Depending on tradition the creator is identified with the single supreme God (especially in monotheisms), is one among multiple creator-deities (ancient/polytheistic contexts), or is distinguished from a more transcendent ultimate being.

Dagon (also Dagan) is an ancient Near Eastern deity attested across inland Syria and the middle Euphrates, with principal temples at Tuttul and Terqa. In inland contexts he functions as a senior, paternal god — a source of prosperity and royal legitimacy — and was syncretized with Mesopotamian and Hurrian senior gods in later theological lists. Later Biblical and medieval receptions reinterpreted the name (including an incorrect fish-association) and the theonym has been reused in modern literature and media.
