Baraquel (sometimes spelled Baraqiel) is a Fallen Angel assigned by Azazeal to watch over Cassie and keep her from harm's way. After killing Felix (for thinking he was a threat to Cassie), he was electrocuted and destroyed by a string of lights telekinetically thrown around him by Ella Dee.

Biblical persona[]

Baraqiel, baraqijal, Baraqel was the 9th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels that were mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch. The name means "lightning of God", which is fitting since it has been said that Baraqiel taught men astrology during the days of Jered or Yered. Some scholars believe that he is Sanat Kumara of theosophists such as Benjamin Creme and Madame Blavatsky.

It has also been proposed based on the reconstitution by Schniedewind and Zuckerman that Baraqiel was the name of the father of Hazael, mentioned in the 9th century BCE inscription from Tel Dan. The biblical figure, Barak, known from Judges 4 is a shortened version of this longer name.
