Asbeel. (Art by Peter Mohrbacher)
Asbeel, meaning "God forsaken" or "God deserter" is the angel of ruin and one of the fallen angels from the Grigori who devoted itself to leading humanity astray after leaving its angelic post.
Overview[]
During and after his fall, Asbeel pondered on why God would not allow His creations to properly advance themselves, why he would choose destructive solutions rather than completely clean away the evil and malice in their hearts. This led the angel to become somewhat of a maltheist, believing God to be a tyrant whom would rather have worship and praise given to him in exchange for aiding His creations rather than just outright helping whether or not they worship him.
Description[]
While it is common for fallen angels to tarnish the name of God, Asbeel went beyond. True to the meaning of his name, Asbeel has completely abandoned himself from God and his grace. Unlike many of the fallen, Asbeel wishes nothing from God as lost all faith in his holy might. Asbeel believes God to be little more than another common celestial who has jealously guarded power to themselves at the expense of the rest of creation, and also believes God to be mortal, hoarding power so that he may protect himself from annihilation.
