Raguel - Angel of Ice

UPDATE 2012
************
Version 2 is portrait-oriented. Because the real model is naked, I added a drapery across his torso which also covers his nether region. Also I added more contrast.


CHARACTER INFO
**************
Raguel is a character from my gay erotic novel Devil's Collector [link] He is one of the archangels. Unlike other angels, he is quite stern and discipline. Almost like Lucifer [link] Raguel thinks of himself as the purest angel and the most obedient. Hence he loves to prosecute other angels whom he thinks are straying from the path of God. Because of that, most angels don't like him too much.

In my story, God suddenly changes His own prophecy. Instead of letting Devil [link] stray the humans till Armageddon, He decides to kill the demons and rescues all humans from Hell. God's sudden decision shocked both demons and angels. Also hating the humans for being impure, Raguel dislikes God's sudden decision. While Anael [link] tries to spread love in order to stop any victims, Raguel does the opposite.

Raguel is the angel of ice and snow. He can manipulate snowflakes into deadly weapons, and also summon hailstorm. When battling demons, Raguel can turn himself into a giant mythological bird Zumrud-u Anka (ice phoenix from Turkish mythology).



NOVEL INFO
***********
Raguel hasn't appeared in my novel yet. His real mythology as a discipline-crazed angel gives me the idea to include an antagonistic angel in order to create more chaos. After all, angels are creatures with free will.


ANGEL INFO
***********
Raguel is a real angel from Jewish mythology. He is one of the 7 Archangels listed in the Enoch writings. Of the order of Principalities, Raguel is an angel of earth, a guard of the 2nd (or 4th) Heaven, and watching over the good behavior of his fellow angels. Raguel is also mentioned as being an angel of ice and snow, calling forth other angels during the Final Judgment to deal with the unpure. He's also called Raguil, Rasuil, Rufael, Suryan, Akrasiel - meaning "Friend of God".
