Species: angel

Angels are messengers of God in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles along with the Quran. The Hebrew and Greek words for "angel" originally mean messenger, and depending on the context may refer either to a human messenger, possibly a prophet or priest, such as Malachi, "my messenger", but also for more mundane characters, as in the Greek superscription that the Book of Malachi was written "by the hand of his messenger" or to a supernatural messenger, such as the "Mal'akh YHWH," who is either a messenger from God, an aspect of God (such as the Logos), or God Himself as the messenger.

The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spiritual beings found in many other religious traditions.
Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks.

Not to be confused with a lot of characters named 'Angel'
