Verchiel

Verchiel is an antagonist appearing in young adult novel series The Fallen written by Thomas E. Sniegnoski.

Verchiel is the leader of the Powers, a band of angels. He seeks to find and kill a Nephilim named Aaron Corbet, the main character of the series, in order to prevent a prophecy about the Redeemer, the one Nephilim with the power to redeem fallen angels and thus send them back to Heaven.

In the first book, Verchiel tracks Aaron to his hometown of Lynn, Massachusetts. He kills Tom and Lori Stanley, Aaron's foster parents, and takes Aaron's autistic foster brother Stevie captive.

In Leviathan, Verchiel uses angelic magic to transform Stevie into Malak, a hunter of Nephilim and fallen angels.
