Description
Seraph/ Seraphim which means "Burning Ones" are the highest angelic class and they serve as the caretaker's of God's Throne. They have 6 wings. 2 wings cover their face, 2 cover their body, 2 cover their feet.well that's what the description says and I didnt want to literally make my Seraph look like that of what the Oldest Book says so this is what I've made. 6 wings behind her back and.... it may not look like it but there's actually six wing there, so if ever you guys cant differentiate if she doesnt have 6 wings at all well I dont blame you XD...
There is a difference between Christian and Jewish angelic hierarchy I chose the Christian version since it's much easier to understand. Anyway this is the order of it from the Seraphim to the Angels
1st Sphere are:
Seraphim
Cherubim
Thrones or Ophanim
2nd Sphere are:
Dominions
Virtues
Powers or Authorities
3rd Sphere:
Principalities or Rulers
Archangels
Angels
Some say there are sub hierarchies these 9 are the known ones.
Silver is known to have some sort of a holy property on 'em so I colored her armor with silver

AWESOME! Seraphim are my favorite angels!
One Seraph happens to be the Devil himself...

Lucifer.
Only when the best falls, the worst happens.
As the story goes, Lucifer was no normal seraph... he was God's right hand man. When God created man from dirt, and announced that the angels would submit to them, Lucifer and several other angels became indignant and rebelled. As a result, those angels were cast out of Heaven, and Hell was created.
People say that Hell is a place to be tortured. But really, the only thing torturing the people down there is the fact that they are now SPIRITUALLY separated from God, with no hope of ever re-uniting with Him. They now share this fallen seraph's shame and hatred towards God (yet Lucifer, the Devil, still manages to burn brightly as ever).

Depends actually: Other interpretations have Lucifer be a cherub while others consider Lucifer among other famous angels such as Michael and Gabriel to be a rank above all the other angels and refer to the as Archangels (not to be confused with the archangels, the second-lowest choir). Also there is some debate as to what is a demon, considering some sources like folklore consider some creatures that can't be considered fallen angels as demons. Lastly calling Lucifer "the Devil" is also debatable due to some theories considering him a different individual from other figures in the bible that might also be the ones with that title, due to the fact they are given different roles and description and future punishments after the apocalypse.

I believe that the interpretation of Lucifer being a Seraph is the most accurate, though. The Seraphim were God's most powerful creations. So powerful, in fact, they could stand to be directly in His glory, and burn with the resulting fire unharmed. Lucifer was the highest of God's angels, meaning he was higher than the other Seraphim that were there as well. Like I said before, he was God's right-hand man, so to speak. What this means, then, is that it'd stand to reason that he'd be God's most powerful creation.
It makes sense, though... say the whole world were against Lucifer. It'd still fall to him if it weren't for God. For with God, we become unstoppable. Lucifer has to then deal with infinity... which he can never hope to overcome.
The saying, "Evil prevails when good men do nothing," then makes even more sense in that context.
This is why there always seems to be a duality between good and evil... almost as though they'd be evenly matched. Lucifer is basically the furthest point one could be from God. But that's the thing... Lucifer, while very powerful, still pales in comparison to God because God created him and God Himself is infinite. God is still present everywhere.
"Also there is some debate as to what is a demon, considering some sources like folklore consider some creatures that can't be considered fallen angels as demons."
Fallen angels are still angels. Angels are not demons, and the two aren't opposites of each other. I think it'd stand to reason that demons are actually creations of Hell's angels... some of which were possibly sourced from Lucifer himself.
As for others bearing the title of the "Devil"... I haven't heard of such theories, so I cannot accurately counter such claims other than with my current belief that there's only one Devil, who is Lucifer.

>"I believe that the interpretation of Lucifer being a Seraph is the most accurate, though."
No problem with that, I just wanted to state some of other interpretations as this is not the only one.
>"Lucifer was the highest of God's angels, meaning he was higher than the other Seraphim that were there as well. Like I said before, he was God's right-hand man, so to speak. What this means, then, is that it'd stand to reason that he'd be God's most poweful creation."
This is relevant to this "Devil" thing I said. Also Lucifer is not the most powerful of gods creations even if he was God's right-hand man, for one simple reason: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… . Anyways there are many figures in Judeo-Christianity that are considered second to god such as Michael (literally "Who is like God") Metatron ( who in jewish folklore is considered to be the highest of the angels) so Lucifer being the highest of angels is generally something debatable. It's more possible that Lucifer's description as the greatest of all the angels refers to other things than strength.
>"As for others bearing the title of the "Devil"... I haven't heard of such theories, so I cannot accurately counter such claims other than with my current belief that there's only one Devil, who is Lucifer."
Seven Princes of Hell, Look it up: For example "Satan" is usually considered to be the "dragon" of the revelation (aka the guy Michael curbstomps in the link above) who is considered the most powerful and destructive of all the Princes of Hell, but not one of the highest ranking ones and his fate after the end of the Apocalypse is to be trown in the lake of fire, not as a ruler but as one among the other demons. Lucifer is considered to be the "beast" to who the "dragon" gives power to, that managed to convinced 1/3rd of the angels to side with him and rebel against god and and his fate after the end of the Apocalypse is to be the emperor of (the now empty) Hell.

St. Michael defeating Lucifer came about not of his own power, but because God was with him, of course.
Ah yes, I forgot about the seven princes. But what if they all described the same being, but were different forms?

As I said the roles and post-apocalypse fates of the seven princes of Hell are all different. In fact Leviathan the prince(ss? Assuming we really can talk about genders for such existances. Whatever... that's not the point) of Envy is killed and given as food for the pure after it devours the souls of all sinners in hell ( damn... Heaven must have a really hardcore sushi-bar). So the Devil been killed, imprisoned as a common demon and becoming the sole ruler of hell at the same time sounds a bit hard to believe, unless we accept that the Devil has many natures like God but that would mean that that the Devil has more (7) natures than God (3) which leaves a very unlikely implication.

Considering that the Trinity is canon but the seven princes aren't, I doubt much of that is even true.
What I do know is that the Devil has worn many masks over the course of history.

Now, I hope she's been infused with Demonic Energy, because she is so glompable!
It's funny, because there is a Covenant Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter in HALO called the Seraph... but, the Covenant Seraph has no wings, so it's rather amusing.

If she were, then she'd be the Devil.
