There is a traditional ''celestial hierarchy'' of angels, which comes from an early Christian writing by one "Dionysus," into the following nine "Choirs", of which only the first and last two are commonly seen in art and literature:

Angels in TheBible can belong to several classes.
* ''Archangel'' -- The highest class. [[ArchangelMichael Michael]] is one of two angels named and the only angel to hold this rank in the Protestant and Jewish [[TheBible Bible]] canons.
* ''Elders'' -- (AKA ''Thrones'') There are 24 of this class as mentioned in Revelation.
* ''Living Creatures'' -- These angels are a specific set of four ''Cherubim'' mentioned in both Ezekiel and Revelation. Their descriptions vary slightly from both accounts, but they seem to have faces varying from that of a lion, ox, man, and eagle, eyes all over their bodies, and more than one pair of wings. (In other words, they are the angels most likely to fit the page image.)

(Note: In this listing the following nine "Choirs", ''Thrones'' and ''Ophanim'' are NOT identified as the same.)
* ''Cherubim'' -- (singular ''Cherub'') TheBible is silent on what normal angels of this class looked like, but according to Jewish tradition they were human looking, as both the Ark of the Covenant and Solomon's Temple included images of angels of this class in their design.
* ''Seraphim'' -- (singular ''Seraph'') Mentioned to have six wings, four of whichonly the first and last two are commonly seen in art and literature:

The actual nature of Cherubim, as depicted in books like Ezekiel or Exodus, was anything like cherubic. They're supposed to be ten cubits (15 feet) high, have four heads, three sets of wings, and hooves. Ezekiel's vision was supposed to be terrifying, so it's possible that they might have decided to appear scarier than usual.

** In the newest editions, all celestials are now Angels, who exist as different types but all share some common features (no mouth or facial features except for eyes, at least a pair of wings and a genie-like wispy tail instead of legs). Eladrins are just relatives of elves, and Guardinals have yet to appear, whereas Archons are the equivalent of angels, but for the Elemental Primordials (they look like faceless elemental soldiers with armor). Angels serve all Gods, and can be [[CharacterAlignment good, unaligned or evil]], though some gods have other servants (Asmodeus favors devils for example).
