Angels
In General
- Always Lawful Good: Pretty much all of them are staunchly aligned with the forces of good. Those who aren't swiftly stop being angels.
- Can't Have Sex, Ever: There is technically a way for an angel to make love, but it involves both they and their partner going through a lengthy purification ritual that lasts several hours, entering a special magical barrier, and then the angel has to not once have lustful, jealous, or possessive thoughts as they do the deed, only pure unsullied love. The slightest weakness at any stage of this process causes the angel to fall, so few of them take the risk. Their few successful offspring are considered "Miracle Children". Later in the series, collaborators across factional lines help design special zones where angels can blow off a little steam without instantly falling.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Most Angels have white wings while higher ranked Angels have gold wings.
- Holy Halo: All Angels have these with higher ranked Angels having more than one.
- Light 'em Up: All Angels can use Light to create weapons to fight with.
- Our Angels Are Different: Served God from the Bible and are good nature.
God
God from the Bible
God is the true leader of the Heaven faction until He died in the Great War along with the original Four Great Satans. The cause of His death and the reason He created the Sacred Gears are still some of the biggest questions of the series.
- Big Good: To the angels and possibly to the entire series.
- God Is Dead: He died in the Great War.
- Fantastic Racism: Samael's temptations in the Garden of Eden led to him absolutely loathing snakes and dragons, to the point that Samael became the ultimate Dragon Slayer embodying God's hatred of them.
- Humans Are Special: He set up the Sacred Gear system so that only humans would obtain them naturally (though he likely didn't forsee Half Human Hybrids or reincarnation).
- Knight Templar: Despite being said to value forgiveness and redemption, He did create an Angel system where having "impure thoughts" somehow diverts Angels from the teachings of the God in the Bible and marks them as Fallen as well being the one responsible for kicking off the Great War out of suspicion the devils would rise to usurp Him, though that one was rather justified, given the legitimately-malevolent behavior the devils of that era engaged in, as opposed to modern devils.
- Posthumous Character: He died long before the series began. It's hinted so far that He pulled off a Dying Moment of Awesome against Trihexa.
The Four Great Seraphim/"Burning Angels"
In General
The Four Great Seraphim
The Four Great Seraphim, also known as the Burning Angels are the four angels who have become the guardians of the Throne of Heaven. They took God's place as the current leaders of Heaven after His death in the Great War.
- Barrier Maiden: In volume 21, except Gabriel, the Seraphim and their brave saints (minus their Aces) along with the rest of the Alliance leaders are forced to seal Trihexa and suppress its power inside that seal. It's not known how many years it will take, but it will be at least ten thousand.
- Evil Counterpart: Inverted and Downplayed. They are the Holy variation of the Four Great Satans, but the Satans aren't necessarily "Evil" either.
- God Job: In a way, as the original God died in the Great War, and the four Seraphim are his temporary replacements.
- Last of Their Kind: A non-fatal example. At volume 21, Gabriel seems to be the only member of the current Four Great Seraphim left.
- Inconsistent Spelling: Is it the Four Great "Seraphim" or "Seraphs"? Or both?note
Michael
Archangel Michael
- Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese) and Aaron Roberts (English)
- All-Loving Hero: A ridiculously nice guy.
- Beauty Equals Goodness: The guy has angelical looks and is one of the nicest beings you'll ever meet.
- Big Good: He's the leader of Heaven, and a leader who genuinely want to better the universe.
- Deadpan Snarker: Can engage in a snark-off with Azazel just fine.
- God: Technically, since he's the acting leader of Heaven, he's the current acting God after the death of the actual one.
- Gold-Colored Superiority: As the leader of Heaven after God's death, his wings are golden instead of white.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Doesn't even begin to describe him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: A non-fatal example, but he seals himself to suppress Trihexa.
- Nice Guy: How nice exactly? When Issei pleads for him to allow Asia and Xenovia (now Demons and therefore racial-enemies to Angels) to pray without pain, knowing how much they love God; he graciously grants said-request.Michael: "The Almighty Himself did believe in forgiveness and redemption; so I suppose exceptions to this outdated punishment is acceptable."
- Shipper on Deck: Supports Irina's feelings for Issei despite the former being an Angel and the later being a Devil. He even had a room constructed that would allow Irina to have sex with Issei without becoming a Fallen Angel.
- Tranquil Fury: Yes, he can get angry. When Rizevim invaded Heaven and had his evil dragons rampage and disturb the souls of the dead, Michael didn't swear, rampage, or even raise his voice, he just voiced a polite greeting and summoned a spear of light large enough to be a buttress for a building then threw it at him. Rizevim blocked it and then ran away.
- Tareme Eyes: As expected of the calm and tranquil Micheal. His are noticeably droopy that he looks like's in a state of nearly crying even when smiling or snarking.
Gabriel
Gabriel
- The Ditz: Doesn't seem to notice that Issei was trying to use Dress Break on her during the calvary race. And simply brushes off the fact that Issei and Azazel were literally blasting away at each other at the relays while passing through them.
- Oblivious to Love: Or in this case, oblivious to lust. She seems to be completely unaware of the effect she has on Ise, even when they're in heaven and alarms go off as Ise begins to react to her presumably innocent teasing.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She's quite embarrassed about wearing a skimpy bikini to distract Issei during his match against Dulio's team in the Azazel Cup.
- The Rival: Serafall secretly sees her as one. Likely for similar reasons to the ones mentioned in her The Ditz and Oblivious to Love entries.
- She's a Man in Japan: Inverted. The Biblical Gabriel has traditionally been depicted as either male or genderless, same as the rest of the Archangels.
- The Smurfette Principle: Only female Seraph out of the Four Great Seraphim.
- World's Most Beautiful Woman: She well known for her beauty and has the title Heavens Most Beautiful Woman, also…
- World's Strongest Woman: She has the title of The strongest woman in Heaven because of her strength and power, but of all the angels, only Michael is stronger, so the title is warranted.
- You Are in Command Now: With the sealing of Michael, Raphael and Uriel, she's become the new ruler of Heaven.
Uriel
Uriel
Uriel is one of the Four Great Seraphim of the Angel faction, whose Brave Saint suit is the Suit of Diamonds.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He seals himself to suppress Trihexa.
- Red Baron: The Flame of God.
Raphael
Raphael
Raphael is one of the Four Great Seraphim of the Angel faction, whose Brave Saint suit is the Suit of Clubs.
- The Ghost: Only mentioned by Issei so far.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He seals himself to suppress Trihexa.
Other Angels

- Weather-Control Machine: What Zenith Tempest (Also known as Prison of Bright Heavenly Thunder) is.
Griselda Quarta
Griselda Quarta
- Big Sister Instinct: Scolded Xenovia for becoming a devil and for not calling her after the peace treaty.
- Shipper on Deck: Ships Issei and Xenovia asking him to take care of her as a woman.
Lint Sellzen
- Artificial Human: Made from different patterns of genetics of those who carried the blood of the original Siegfried to use Gram.
- The Atoner: Played with. She took Freed's surname Sellzen as her own to carry on his name and to atone for the crimes he committed.
- Distaff Counterpart: She's essentially a female version of Freed even down to her personality, though more lighthearted than crass.
- Holy Hand Grenade: Her Longinus attacks uses holy fire.
- Long-Lost Relative: Made by the Sigurd Institution the same as Freed and Siegfried, so she is artificially related to them. Especially to Freed as she and him are made from the same genetics.
- Playing with Fire: Her Longinus, Incinerate Anthem (Also known as Chief Mourner’s Crucified Stand of Purple Flame) attacks uses holy fire.
- Purple Is Powerful: She is a powerful exorcist recommended by the Vatican Headquarters and Grigori for Rias' team for the Azazel Cup who's Longinus uses purple holy flames.
- Silver Has Mystic Powers: Unlike other angels who either have white or gold wings, Lint has silver wings.
- Technicolour Fire: Incinerate Anthem flames are purple.
Irina Shido
Irina Shido
- See her entry on the Occult Research Club page.
Metatron
Metatron
Metatron is a Seraph from heaven (but not one of the Four Great Seraphim).
- Gratuitous Ninja: A ninja angel.
Fallen Angels
Fallen Angels are angels who renounce God's teachings and are exiled from Heaven. Initially led by Azazel, they form a truce with the Devils and Angels as part of the alliance. While some of the Fallen Angels have good intentions, others embrace their baser passions for impure thoughts for their selfish goals.
In General
- Always Chaotic Evil: Are introduced as such: even disregarding the long-standing feud between them and the Devils, Fallen Angels are roundly underhanded, often-violent jerks. Far less so as the series goes on.
- Became Their Own Antithesis: At some point before the series begins, the formerly-idealistic angels' renunciations from God's teachings Heaven caused them to transform into sadistic monsters.
- Dark Is Evil: Played a villainous role early in the series, and have pitch-black wings. Not to mention a few of the villains in the story wear all-black as part of their uniform, most notably Kokabiel and Dohnaseek.
- The Exile: The angels were exiled due to going against God's teachings.
- Face–Heel Turn: They used to be loyal to God before becoming corrupted and cast out from Heaven.
- Fallen Angel: Once beloved angels from Heaven who turned to the dark side.
- Heel–Face Turn: Most of the Fallen Angels become part of The Alliance with the Devils and Angels.
- Jerkass: Oh, big time. Most of the Fallen Angels have very cruel and sadistic personalities, save for some like Azazel and Baraqiel (and the former has his moments).
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Once they finish their goals, Fallen Angels can erase memories of themselves from everyone around them.
- Light 'em Up/Light Is Not Good: Despite falling from grace, they retain the same abilities as normal angels, including light-based moves that absolutely devastate Devils.
- Sex God: Fallen Angels have this reputation In-Universe.
- Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny: Fitting for a series like this, the fastest way for an Angel to fall is to have lustful thoughts
(just like what happened to The Watchers in myth).
Azazel
Azazel
- See his entry on the Occult Research Club page.
Raynare
Yuuma Amano/Raynare
- Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame (Japanese) and Felecia Angelle (English)
Raynare is a fallen angel and associate of Azazel. She is dispatched by Azazel to disguise herself as Yuuma Amano and assassinate Issei for his Sacred Gear. She later manages to steal Asia Argento's Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing, but by doing so, she ends up being cornered by the Occult Research Club and eventually killed by Rias Gremory.
- Adaptational Skimpiness: The light novel and the manga version of her true form reveal was just showing off her wings. The anime, however, got her to transform into a Stripperific costume.
- Arch-Enemy: To Issei Hyoudou. She killed him after his first date. When she eventually kills Asia Argento, who he had become very fond of, by stealing her Sacred Gear to become invincible, Issei gets really furious and vows to take her down.
- Arc Villainess: She's the main antagonist of Volume 1.
- Big Bad Wannabe: She constantly raves about earning Azazel's approval and becoming his second-in-command, but ultimately, Raynare has next-to-no authority and is just a low-level scout with delusions of grandeur. In fact, if they hadn't let Issei reclaim his pride, any other member of Rias' peerage could have ripped her to pieces.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She posed as a sweet, sensitive, and innocent girl to lure Issei to his death. She's really just a vicious, petty and sadistic bitch who torments people For the Evulz.
- Broken Pedestal: She becomes one to Issei over the course of Volume 1. She is introduced as a cheerful girl who asks him to become her boyfriend and he accepts it. The pedestal, however, is quickly shattered when Issei realizes too late that she turns out to be a Fallen Angel. By the end of the volume, he's thoroughly sickened by what she did to him and Asia, before asking Rias to kill her.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Boyfriend or not, she'll double-cross them in an instant.
- Classified Information: Falls afoul of this. Despite her bitterness over being at the bottom of the ladder (see I Just Want to Be Special) her job to spy on Issei was actually immensely important and her actions handed the next Red Dragon Emperor to the Devil on a silver platter, screwing up Azazel's entire gameplan. Pity this information was way above her pay-grade.
- Combat Stilettos: She wears high-heeled shoes when in her One-Winged Angel Stripperiffic outfit.
- Create Your Own Hero: Raynare killing Issei effectively allows him to become a powerful and respected Devil in the Occult Research Club, and whose desire to protect his friend/her target leads to her death.
- Dark Action Girl: She's a skilled fighter and a Fallen Angel who gets tied up with Azazel.
- Destination Defenestration: In episode 5 of the anime, Issei uses his Sacred Gear to send her flying out of a church window.
- Devil in Plain Sight: Issei has no idea that Raynare is plotting to kill him for his Sacred Gear and by the time he realizes this, it's too late.
- Dirty Coward:
- She loves to stand around, taunt and torment people she thinks are inferior to her, but the moment she realizes she's in trouble, she tries to run away, happily sacrificing her minions in the process.
- She laughs at Issei when he spills out his lingering affections toward her, mocking him as completely unworthy of being boyfriend material, yet attempts to fall back on their date when Rias is about to kill her. Issei expresses disgust she's only now responding to his feelings when it's convenient for her and gives Rias permission to finish her off.
- Disc-One Final Boss: She is the villain for the first saga, and foiling her Evil Plan is Issei's first major undertaking as a devil. Despite killing Issei and getting Asia's Sacred Gear, she doesn't get that far as Rias obliterates her.
- Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Raynare taunts Issei about his lingering affections towards her in front of Rias. In response, the high-class noble devil with the power of destruction blasts her into dust.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Her betrayal of Issei, by running him through with her spear and leaving him to die. Judging by Issei's shocked reaction, he had no idea that she was going to kill him given his possession of his Sacred Gear.
- Evil Costume Switch: In the anime only, she transforms her regular clothes to her Stripperific outfit.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Raynare has a deep and villainous voice in her true form, courtesy of Hitomi Nabatame in Japanese and Felecia Angelle in English. Her voice in her false form is much lighter and cuter.
- Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Her facial expressions are softer and less horrifying in the light novel and manga than in the anime, but she's equally cruel in all versions and her innocent appearance makes her more unsettling.
- Fatal Flaw: Her overconfidence and deceptive nature ultimately leads to her death at Rias's hands.
- Fangs Are Evil: She has retractable vampiric-looking fangs.
- Faux Affably Evil: She seems friendly enough for Issei to become her boyfriend. Too bad about her killing him on their very first date.
- Femme Fatale: A girl who ends a seemingly perfect date by inviting a boy, who did her no wrong, to a semi-secluded area just to kill him certainly qualifies.
- Game Face: Her horrified expression before Rias vaporizes her is a twisted, fanged, inhuman grimace.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: After stealing Asia's Twilight Healing, she can heal any injury. A pity then, that Rias can kill her outright.
- Hated by All: Issei absolutely hates her for causing his first death and killing Asia, and Rias hates her for toying with Issei's emotions. Also, her fellow Fallen Angels hate her for being a Red Shirt character.
- Hell-Bent for Leather: She wears leather as part of her Stripperiffic fallen angel outfit in the anime.
- Honey Trap: She tricks Issei into going out on a date with her so she can eventually kill him in a secluded spot.
- I Just Want to Be Special: She really wants to be seen by her faction as someone valuable and important, instead of a low-tier scout. This is why she steals Asia's Sacred Gear, which puts her in Issei's crosshairs.
- Impossibly Cool Clothes: A Stripperiffic version in the anime, which resembles a Dominatrix outfit.
- Inconsistent Spelling: Fansubs and scanlations often mistranslate her name as "Reynalle". However, official material on the first BD volume claims her name to be Raynare.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: Despite her Smug Snake attitude, she's painfully aware that her fellow Fallen Angels look down on her for being a Red Shirt, which is why she wants Asia's Sacred Gear to make herself special to her side (it's about as close to a redeeming quality as you can get with her). It doesn't work because despite gaining the ability to heal, her other combat abilities are still the same.
- It's All About Me: She claims she's stealing Asia's Sacred Gear to help Azazel and Shemhaza, but it's clear she just wants it for her own ego and so she can get back at her higher ranking peers.
- Jerkass: She's spiteful and sadistic when dealing with Rias and her peerage.
- Just Following Orders: After being cornered by Rias's peerage, she tries to justify killing Issei by saying she had no choice in the matter. Her superiors wouldn't let her act otherwise. However, Issei doesn't buy it for a second and asks Rias to kill her for good.
- Meaningful Name: Although this is working without the component kanji (and, therefore, a way to look them up), "Yuuma" sounds like "Night Fiend"—and "fiendish" barely begins to describe her killing of Issei. Never mind her actually being a Fallen Angel. She eventually reveals she chose that name because "Yuu" means "night" or some equivalent, which was when she planned on killing Issei!!
- Her full alias, in traditional order, means "Heaven's Evening Daze (Ama no Yuuma)". Given that she was once an angel from Heaven prior to her falling, it's justified. The alias itself is also an oxymoron, as Heaven doesn't usually have a night setting.
- Ms. Fanservice: She has an incredibly Stripperiffic outfit in the anime, and one shot shows her exposed breasts.
- Near-Villain Victory: Raynare kills Asia and steals her Sacred Gear to become invincible. Raynare's scheme fails when Issei follows her to the abandoned church, and she doesn't flee immediately with her prize. Sticking around to taunt him is why she was ultimately cornered.
- Never My Fault: When she initially murders Issei on Azazel's orders, she tells him to "blame the God who gave him a sacred gear" instead of herself. Then when she meets Issei again as a reincarnated devil, blames him for it. Lastly when she steals Asia's sacred gear, murdering her in the process, she tries to claim it was done for Azazel's sake when she's beaten by Issei and facing a rightfully pissed Rias. Unfortunately for Raynare, she gets fried for it.
- No-Sell: Her new healing powers don't help against an opponent that can boost enough to knock her out in one hit, or straight up "blow her away".
- Red Shirt: Her fellow Fallen Angels view her as nothing more than a disposable character. They're proven right when Rias kills her.
- Retconjuration: After killing Issei, she erased evidences of her existence as "Yuuma Amano" from anyone, ranging from memories and records.
- Shoulders of Doom: In her Stripperiffic outfit in the anime, she has appropriately villanous shoulder pads.
- Small Name, Big Ego: It's not immediately obvious to the audience, since they're seeing things from Issei's perspective and he's personally involved and new to the supernatural world himself, but for all her raving about earning Azazel's approval and becoming his second-in-command, Raynare is a low-level scout with delusions of grandeur. Not only does she have next to no authority (just three other Fallen Angels and a pack of rogue Exorcists working with her out of convenience), but she's weak - if they hadn't let Issei reclaim his pride, any other member of Rias's peerage could have torn her apart.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Is a fairly minor villain who dies halfway through the first season, but she is the one who essentially kickstarted the plot and is the reason why Issei and Aria are in the Occult Club. Her betrayal of Issei also left him a traumatized Insecure Love Interest.
- Smug Snake: She thinks she's vastly superior to everyone she comes across, and sees her underlings as nothing but mere tools, at best. She was only horrified about learning of the deaths of Dohnaseek, Mittelt, and Kalawarner because it meant she had no escape options, and nobody would come to her aid when facing down the enraged ORC.
- Spikes of Villainy: On her right shoulder pad in her Stripperiffic outfit in the anime and suitably villainous for a sadistic fallen angel.
- Starter Villain: She is the first villain that Issei encounters, and serves as this for the entire series.
- Stripperific: She wears a skimpy outfit after her fallen angel reveal in the anime's first episode which doesn't bother to hide her stomach. It is a stark contrast with her more modest disguise as a human.
- Stupid Evil: She mocks Issei far too much, which results in her asskicking, especially since she had no real reason to stay than petty evilness.
- Technicolor Eyes: She is a Fallen Angel with violet eyes.
- This Cannot Be!: Her reaction when she is defeated by Issei is shock because he is just a low-class devil, a mere pawn!
- Token Motivational Nemesis: From a narrative perspective, Raynare introduces Issei to the supernatural by killing him, and leaves a lasting impact on him that informs his character arc going forward, namely by killing Asia prompting Issei to rescue her and fight Raynare for the last time at the end of the first volume. Her only relevance following her death is to be the reason Issei is seemingly Oblivious to Love due to the trauma she gave him, informing his desire to Never Be Hurt Again, culminating in the events of the tenth volume where Akeno, Koneko and Asia finally make Issei realize his trauma and in turn accept that he is loved by those around him, allowing him to finally move on from her.
- Too Dumb to Live: After Raynare is defeated, she toys with Issei's emotions in front of Rias and gets killed for it.
- A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Her opportunistic scheme is what gets her killed off. Her impatience in trying to seek approval from Azazel leads to her entering Gremory territory without permission, toying with Issei's feelings and trying to steal Asia's Twilight Healing. Predictably, it doesn't end well.
- Underboobs: Her suit covers the lower half of her breasts while in her anime-exclusive Stripperiffic outfit.
- Underestimating Badassery: She underestimates Issei's Sacred Gear powers and gets the crap beaten out of her in response. She thinks it was a "twice critical", making him temporarily twice as powerful. She doesn't realize that it actually made him twice as powerful every ten seconds, so all her Evil Gloating does is make it easier for Issei to beat her.
- Ungrateful Bitch: Considering the fact that Issei's a Nice Guy who befriended and went out on a date with her as his first girlfriend, it really was a jerk move to kill him.
- Unwitting Pawn:
- Everything she did to ensure her assassination of Issei was allowed to happen by Azazel.
- Diodora was actually counting on her to kill Asia, only for him to kill her and reincarnate Asia with one of his evil pieces while appearing to be her savior. This fails because he didn't expect Issei to defeat Raynare first.
- The Vamp: Uses the promise of sex to abuse and exploit people. Freed, of all people, calls her out on it, and completely abandons her when she refuses to deliver.
- Villain Ball: Her plan to murder Asia and steal her Sacred Gear might have succeeded, but she taunts Issei about Asia's death afterwards. This results in Issei using his Sacred Gear to beat Raynare and Rias ultimately killing her.
- Villainous Breakdown: Upon finding out Issei's stronger than her because of his Sacred Gear, Raynare gradually loses her Faux Affably Evil demeanor she'd shown for most of the first volume.
- Villains Want Mercy: When Issei defeats her the end of Volume 1, Raynare spends her final moments desperately begging for her life. Unfortunately for Raynare, none of it works and she's ultimately killed by Rias at Issei's request.
- Was It All a Lie?: She's on the receiving end of this from Issei. He angrily rages that he actually liked her and can't make sense of her betrayal, and her only response to that is indulgent mockery and Evil Gloating. When she later tries to play on his feelings shortly before her death, he sees right through her.
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Averted when she and Issei met up again while Asia was with him. After Issei showed off his Sacred Gear, she just shoots him with a light spear in the stomach and mocks him because she thought he only had Twice Critical. Played very straight later on, when getting Asia's Sacred Gear makes her overconfident, staying to mock Issei which gets her ass kicked.
- Wicked Witch: Though a fallen angel, her abilities and persona invoke the feel of a vile woman who uses deception and magic to work vile deeds.
- Wounded Gazelle Warcry: She turns the vulnerable act on Issei when Rias's was about to kill her, sinking so low as to show him the armband he bought for her as a cherished treasure. In the anime, she also reverts to her civilian clothes in an attempt to make her act more convincing. Fortunately for her, he just doesn't have the heart to kill someone whom he shared a precious day of love and happiness with. Not so fortunately, he sadly asks Rias to do what he couldn't, which she does.

Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt
Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt
- Dohnaseek voiced by: Taketora (Japanese) and Jarrod Greene (English)Mittelt voiced by: Yuiko Tatsumi (Japanese) and Mariela Ortiz (English)
Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt are three fallen angels who collaborated with Raynare to get Asia's Twilight Healing and have themselves promoted.
- Ascended Extra: Only Dohnaseek appeared in the light novel where he first attacked Issei. In the anime, the other two are introduced.
- Ax-Crazy: Dohnaseek is introduced attacking Issei for the crime of walking home from school. He backed off when Rias showed up only because an open attack would be a truce violation.
- Badass Longcoat: Dohnaseek wears a long coat to match his uniform.
- Cute Little Fangs: Mittelt has these to fit her small appearance.
- Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: After taunting Issei in front of Rias, the three immediately get fried to death.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: Mittelt wears a gothic uniform.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Kalawarner is an arrogant, no-nonsense fighter with a very deep voice provided by Kumi Sakuma and Anastasia Muñoz.
- Girlish Pigtails: Mittelt again, though a short variation.
- Ms. Fanservice: Kalawarner wears clothing that shows off her curves and long legs and exposes plenty of boobie.
- Killed Offscreen: In the light novels, all three of them are killed offscreen by Rias. The anime version, on the other hand, has a scene where Rias easily turns them into dust when they have a chance to taunt Issei.
- Know When to Fold 'Em:
- Dohnaseek leaves when Issei is rescued by Rias from his attack.
- In the anime, once Issei activates his Sacred Gear in front of Kalawarner, she makes a hasty retreat.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Kalawarner wears a dark red suit and has black shoes in her usual uniform. Not only that, but she's part of Raynare's group.
- Red Shirt: Seeing as they were curb-stomped by Rias and Akeno, well...
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Once Kalawarner gets defeated by Issei in the anime, she flees the scene.
- Shameful Strip: Kalawarner gets stripped by Issei's Sacred Gear, causing her to flee out of shock.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Dohnaseek wears a business suit to go with his hat.
- Statuesque Stunner: Kalawarner stands at 5'10" according to official material, more-so than either Rias or Grayfia.
- Sultry Bangs: Kalawarner covers part of her eyes with her long hair, which adds an extra allure to her Ms. Fanservice status.
- Too Dumb to Live: In the anime, Raynare's mooks outright laugh at the trauma Raynere inflicted to Issei right in Rias's face when she's got the three of them trapped in a magical barrier. Even the lowest mooks of any faction know that she's very protective of her servants, and brutally vicious when enraged. The outcome was completely predictable.
- Warm-Up Boss: Despite attacking Issei and mocking his demise, Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt are easily obliterated into dust.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Particularly in the novels, where they're killed offscreen.
- The Worf Effect: Rias effortlessly kills Kalawarner, Dohnaseek, and Mittelt when she and Akeno confront them.
Kokabiel
Kokabiel
Kokabiel is a fallen angel who steers the plot of the third volume. He steals the pieces of Excalibur to strengthen the fallen angel faction and to tempt Michael to start an all-out war.
- And I Must Scream: His ultimate fate. Azazel seals him in Cocytus, the deepest part of the Underworld.
- Barehanded Blade Block: Uses only two fingers to block Kiba's sword.
- Big Bad: The main antagonist of Volume 3 and the Starter Villain of the second saga.
- Blood Knight: Wants a war to get fighting starting once again.
- Disc-One Final Boss: He gets defeated by Vali at the start of the second saga.
- Evil Sounds Deep: He has a deep voice befitting for a villain, courtesy of Hiroki Yasumoto. Mike McFarland meanwhile, lends a guttural and snarling version of his Baby voice to Kokabiel, which has been pitch-shifted to sound more menacing and intimidating.
- Fantastic Racism: He wants to restart the war between the Three Factions just to prove that Fallen Angels are the superior race.
- Fate Worse than Death: He's sealed up in Cocytus after Vali defeats him.
- For the Evulz: Wants to start another war just so that he won't be bored. That and he's willing to prove that the fallen angels are superior.
- Human Popsicle: His punishment for attempting to reignite war was eternal freezing in Cocytus.
- Knight of Cerebus: He's the first enemy that the ORC was completely incapable of beating, and he drops the bombshell that God Is Dead.
- Obviously Evil:
- His face alone in the second PV of the second season looks like he fits more in the devil society than in the fallen angel group.
- Its also a case of Fridge Brilliance, due to the fact that Angels in the Bible are known be terrifying in appearance.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Well, he is racist, after all...
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Which he's well aware of. He boasts of planning to rape Sona and Rias, so he can kickstart a war with the devil faction, because he knew they both have high-ranking relatives that wouldn't let such a heinous act go unanswered.

- Villainous Breakdown: Kokabiel loses it when Vali enters the fight and defeats him.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: Manages to become this for the entire (incomplete at that time) Gremory team. They could barely scratch the dude and it took Vali to beat the crud out of him.
- We Used to Be Friends: Even though Kokabiel tried to start another war, the other fallen angels still think of him as a comrade and thought that what he did was stupid.
- The Worf Effect: He both Worfs and is Worfed. The ORC could barely scratch him, establishing that while they are badass, they have a long way to go before they are major players power-wise. He is immediately one-shot by Vali, establishing him as a major player, power-wise.

- Baritone of Strength: He has a deep and powerful voice befitting for a bodyguard and fighter, courtesy of Tetsu Inada in Japanese and Kent Williams in English.
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: Due to some misunderstandings, he at first doesn't want that "breast-devouring Dragon" Issei anywhere near his daughter. Though he gets over this later on.
- Broken Pedestal: He becomes one to Akeno Himejima. She deeply loved her father as a child. But then, her mother Shuri was killed and Baraqiel failed to save her. Akeno disowned her father and went into exile. She makes several points to Issei about how Baraqiel wasn't around when she needed him the most, even saying it to the latter's face. It becomes a Rebuilt Pedestal when Issei has Akeno reconcile with her father for good.

- My God, What Have I Done?: Baraqiel is in despair at how he was unable to save Shuri Himejima from being murdered by her own relatives and it filled Akeno with rage.
- My Greatest Failure: How he views Shuri Himejima's murder. Volume 7 reveals that even though he killed the Himejimas who murdered Shuri given their Fantastic Racism towards Fallen Angels, he was unable to rescue her. No wonder Akeno is so upset with her father over it.
- My Greatest Second Chance: Teaming up with Akeno to help Issei defeat Loki at the end of volume 7.

- Large Ham: He is so fascinated with Tokusatsu TV programs that he gives this whenever he can.
- Training from Hell: Basically what his department in the Grigori gives to Sacred Gear possessors. Being hit with a gigantic iron ball, drowned while being tied with weights... you name it. Saji and Issei learned it the hard way.
Samael
Samael is the angel who convinced Adam and Eve to eat the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden. He was cursed by God's hatred of dragons and snakes.
- The Dragonslayer: He is considered the most potent example in the series. His curse gives Ophis a massive Nerf, would presumably work on Great Red as well, instantly puts Vali out of action, and outright kills Issei. He gets better.
