Mibagadael Hananael (a.k.a. Charon, Han)
An angelic assassin
Physical Description
Color preferences? -- Han frequently manifests as inhumanly black-skinned with short, tightly-coiled black hair, black eyes with a darkened sclera, and jet black wings in spite of his uncorrupted nature. Han is one of the only non-archangels to be able to change his wing color at will. When off-duty, he will manifest as darkly-skinned, often with Middle Eastern or Desi-resembling features. He maintains short, dark, tightly curled hair and black eyes, but off-duty returns the sclera and his wings to white.
All angelic agents have unfailing direction-sense, the ability to change the color of their wings from white to black, and an acute awareness of the location of a target within 50 miles.
Mental characteristics
How would they cope with a sudden academic requirement? -- Supreme confusion. He would waste most of his prep time questioning the reasoning behind having him take the test or write the paper. If pressed, he would take the test and probably land somewhere in the D-grade range, all the while muttering that it’s stupid and not a proper test of knowledge or intelligence in the first place. Papers he would do a little better with, since he’s familiar with logic and ethical arguments and can express his thoughts fairly well in writing.
How do they handle being lost? -- Han is never lost. He has an unerring sense of direction, always knows his position on the globe and usually knows where his target is within 100 miles. It’s part of his nature as part of the angelic choir of assassins.
How would they cope with being abducted by aliens? -- He would politely request his release. If denied, death and dismemberment until he’s back where he belongs, cleanly and efficiently.
How do they respond to those in need? -- It depends on what he’s currently doing. If Han is on a mission, he usually can’t stop to help someone and will firmly but kindly avoid the situation. If he’s off duty, he’s more than happy to help in whatever way he can. If he has cash, he’ll give generously and if someone needs him to help physically, he’ll dedicate whole days to helping. He’s very generous when it comes to the needs of others, but it has to be prioritized by his missions first.
What are their moral priorities? -- His mission always has to come first. For Han, orders are explicit and he can’t deviate from them for the sake of personal morality. He comes across as heartless to many people for this reason, but he does grieve the deaths he has to carry out that he may not personally agree with. He just never shows himself as disobeying orders or doubting orders in front of others.
How comfortable are they with being petty or cruel? -- Han does not cause harm unless he has been ordered to. He does not take pleasure in cruelty and will actively work against it if it doesn’t contradict his orders or the orders of another angel. Pettiness is incomprehensible to him; he simply can’t understand why someone would do something cruel or petty for no reason.
Personality Characteristics
What are their food preferences -- Anything that involves cinnamon and chocolate. In particular, a human once brought him “Mexican brownies” which involved ginger, cayenne pepper and cinnamon. “Sweet heat” is his favorite thing in the world.
What irrationally irritates them? -- Crossword puzzles. He’s attempted them several different times in his lifetime, but they never make any sense to him and he always gets frustrated by his apparent inability to solve them.
What style music do they prefer? -- Han considers acapella vocals the purest form of praise to God and both sings and prefers to listen to acapella music. For him, all music--even something like country love songs or heavy metal--is always to praise and honor God and he is confused by music with atheistic lyrics.
God only told angels two things were out of bounds: procreation and sexual/romantic love between angels. Han has known for a long time that he is only sexually attracted to other angels and struggles with this awareness regularly.
Do they have any other names? -- Azrael calls Haniel “Charon” from time to time. Other angels who have casual acquaintance with him will shorten his name to “Han,” which he finds entertaining given its association with Han Solo of Star Wars and his own solo nature.
How involved is their hygiene? -- Han loves to swim and will take any excuse to get wet, especially in the summer. He’s often found splashing in any standing body of water during off-duty hours (and occasionally during missions) up to and including large puddles in urban areas. In general practice, he keeps himself clean and tidy with short, clean nails. Han is one of the angels who never wears shoes, preferring sandals or to be barefoot, so his feet are often a little dusty or dirty.
Social
How good are they with children and/or animals? -- Kids tend to be scared of Han due to his impassive demeanor when he’s working. If he’s got the opportunity to relax with kids, though, they do better and he loves being around them. Dogs seem to be wary of him for reasons he’s not sure of and cats adore him (and vice versa). If there are cats around, there will be one in Han’s lap within five minutes of his sitting down and he does often beg off of minor responsibilities if he has a cat in his lap rather than move the cat.
How do they concern or terrify people who do not know them? -- Han is incredibly imposing. It’s partly his nature as an assassin and partly cultivated in order to make his job easier (both to himself and to those around him). When he’s off duty, many fellow angels are shocked to see him laughing or doing recreational things, even some that know him fairly well.
History
Han and Tyriel were created as part of the same fledgling cohort. They bonded intensely during that time and remained assigned together, even as Han rose in the ranks and Tyriel's training took him in different directions. Once Han was appointed an angelic Agent, he insisted on Tyriel's being awarded the same rank and they became one of the best recon/assassin teams in the angelic host.
Shared Secrets
Their relationship is much deeper than the typical fledge mate bond. They are intimately bonded, though neither has admitted his awareness of this to the other.

History
Han and Tyriel were both part of one of Rafael and Azarael's fledgling cohorts. Azarael has remained inordinately fond of Han, while Rafael is more partial to Tyriel.
Nicknames & Petnames
Azarael occasionally calls Han "Charon." Han usually addresses Azarael as "avua" or "sir," though he does call him by his name when they are in private.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Azarael held an assassin position early in his life similar to the one he has appointed Haniel to fill.
