True Form Name: Ghagiel
Shadow's Arcana: Hierophant.
True Form Appearance: It looks like
this. The appearance itself stems from how they are described as demons, the Hinderers, which are black evil giants with serpents entwined around them, and they are attached to lying and material appearances, in opposition to those of reality and wisdom. It is certainly giant as well, having a length of 7 ft. The form on the left is when it attacks from above, the one on the right is it's humanoid form.
Form Background: In the Kabbalah, the Qliphoth represent the unbalanced force of a particular Sephirah, or attribute of God. Chokmah, or "Wisdom" is the sephira concerned with creative, subjective energy, the phallic force that acts upon Binah, the great mother, the receiver of this energy and giver of form. If Chokmah is not balanced by the force of Binah, it remains proud, unrestricted energy, too stubborn to be bound by the matrix of the mother, unwilling to 'bow down to man' and take material form, as described in the Islamic legend regarding Iblis, or Satan. Therefore, Chokmah becomes Ghagiel, the force that hinders the natural evolution of divine energy flowing down into the creation, through pride and egotism, and maintains itself in the world of illusion and lies.
Reverse Persona Name: Sathariel
Reverse Persona's Arcana: Hierophant
Reverse Persona Owner: Takeru Kagemaru, Shadow Self Ver.
Reverse Persona Appearance: It looks like this:
- Sathariel:
It is about 7 ft, 1 inch tall. The different-colored energy within it's veins is it's "blood" which reflects light differently depending on where in the body it is. The energy that is in it's hands is energy that it can manipulate with it's user's commands. The form of the demons attached to this Qliphah are of black veiled heads with horns, with hideous eyes seen through the veil, which, while it may lack a veil in the conventional sense, it's head fits the description otherwise, though.
Reverse Persona Background: Sathariel is described in the Book of Enoch as the 17th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels. The name is believed to be of Babylonian origin and a combination of shetar and el (God) with the name meaning "side of God". Michael Knibb[1] believes the name to mean "Moon of God" or "Dawn of God" based on the Ge'ez copies of the Book of Enoch.
The cortex or outer shell of Sathariel is called the order of Sheireil, "The Hairy Ones of God". This demonic order has been described[2] as a black labyrinth of chaotic riddles, where Lucifuge reigns. The magician's third eye is opened and darkness becomes light if ascension progresses through this order. This results in the magician learning to see the light of Lucifer and becoming clairvoyant.
It is one of the Qliphoth, corresponding to the Sephirah Binah on the kabbalistic Tree of life. It represents the Concealment of God, which hides the face of Mercy.
