History
Vraniel was an Angel from Heaven and part of the Malakim.[1]
Part of Zadkiel's Black Host, Emmael and his brother Vraniel were part of the rebels during the War in Heaven.[citation needed]
After Zadkiel's betrayal of Lucifer, and his and his followers' expulsion of Heaven, the brothers regretted their betrayal against Heaven.[2]
When Zadkiel plotted to take Heaven for himself, they went to Earth to help Ghost Rider defeat Lucifer during his rampage on Earth when he was released from Hell. To reach the Earthly realm they had to be reborn by a human host named Darlene.[citation needed] The pair tracked down Ghost Rider and followed him to a farm where one of Lucifer's bodies held children as hostages. They assisted by freeing the children and killing one of the devils bodies. On the Earthly plane, their powers were weakened and their new bodies tired quickly.[citation needed]
Emmael died when Blaze used his Penance Stare on him, and Vraniel killed himself by summoning an angelic spear through his head.[3]Attributes
Powers
Vraniel is an Angel so he possesses vast supernatural power, which is apparently inherent within him.
Superhuman Strength: Vraniel possesses a degree of superhuman strength. He is capable of using his magical powers to augment his strength, but to an unknown degree.
Superhuman Speed: Vraniel is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Stamina: The various mystical energies flowing through Vraniel's body augments her musculature so that it generates virtually no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, Vraniel possesses almost limitless superhuman stamina.
Superhuman Durability: The tissues of Zadkiel's body, while similar in appearance to a human's, are considerably tougher and more resistant to injury than the tissues of a human being. Vraniel's body is virtually invulnerable to conventional injury. He is capable of withstanding great impact forces, high caliber bullets, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his superhuman durability, it is possible to injure Vraniel. However, his unique physiology and mystical energies enable him to rapidly recover from almost any form of injury. He is capable of regenerating almost any damaged or destroyed tissue, even missing limbs.
Immortality: As an Angel, Vraniel is functionally immortal. He is immune to the effects of aging and is immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections. Vraniel is also beyond the need of food, water, or oxygen. If killed, she will merely reform in Heaven.
Magical Manipulation: Vraniel can use this magical energy for various effects only a few which have been shown. Known abilities include the ability to project heavenly blasts, shapeshift. He is also able to summon celestial armor and weaponry at will.
Ensnare Astral Bodies:Vraniel also possesses certain powers enabling her to capture and detain the astral bodies (sheaths of the soul) of recently deceased human beings.
Winged Flight: Vraniel as an Angel possessed two large bird like wings that protrude from his back. These wings allow her to fly at incredible speed, and defy the laws of gravity. It has been shown that angels can fly with their wings on show, so they may be symbolic.
