In Abrahamic religion, Michael is the highest ranking archangel mentioned in the Book of Revelation. His name means "he who is like God" in Hebrew and he rose to become the leader or field commander of the Army of God during the revolt of Satan in heaven, and he was so respected by the other angels that his name was shouted as a battle charge. He was able to cast Satan down into the abyss and, in another tale, was the angel that came to the aid of Gabriel during his contest with the Persian angel Dobiel.
In Israel he is the advocate and Prince of Heaven who watches over the children of Christ, he is also the one who weights the souls of the dead and removes names from the book of life. By the times of medieval Christianity, Michael was one of the principal angels and considered the patron saint of chivalry. He is often depicted as a handsome angel with beautiful wings holding a holy sword that can repel any weapon or scales.Michael is a 15 feet tall tanned humanoid with black hair, wearing a golden breastplate and wielding a holy sword known as Deus Xiphos, said to be able to cut through anything.
Michael is the cardinal angel of the south.
