Angels
Crosby 1 The term angel derives from a Greek translation of the Hebrew word mal'akh, which first meant "Shadow side of God," and now means messenger (Jeremiah 59).

Although originally they are described as having four wings and four heads, sometimes with eyes that cover their bodies (Lang 51). These angels are the closest to us and furthest away from God. Proserpine: "Queen of the she-demons. Arch-Demons or Archangels of Hell: Adrameleck: "King of Fire" who is bearded, eagle-winged, and lion-bodied. They are often associated with heroes and those who fight for the will of God (Bloom 61).
