The lowest of all the angelic orders, angels are tasked with delivering God's messages to humans in addition to being personal guardians. Angel has also become a generic term for any such kind of heavenly being.
The second of the orders of angels, archangels are tasked with strengthening the faith of mankind, heralding good news, and delivering prophecy to humans though the lower order of guardian angels. This order sometimes includes named angels like Michael and Gabriel, but they can also be seen as distinct.
Cherubim are the second highest of the nine orders of angels. They have four heads (a man, an ox, a lion, and an eagle) and four wings, and at least one guards the entrance to the Garden of Eden.
A catch-all term for the collection of gods, monsters, and spirits that manifest in the Megami Tensei series. The English usage is derived from the Greek word "daimon," which was used to describe ethereal beings both benevolent and malevolent.
Dominions are sixth in the angelic hierarchy, named such for the authority they wrest on the lower five orders. They empower governments of God-fearing nations and teach how to chain the fleshly body to spiritual endeavors.
Powers are the fourth in the orders of angels. They are so named because they bestow believers the ability to fight temptation and sin, and can also weaken the powers of demons.
The third of the orders of angels, Principalities are the highest within the first of the three tripartite angelic spheres and oversee archangels and angels. They are depicted wearing crowns and wielding scepters.
Seraphim are the highest of all angels and the beings closest to the seat of heaven. They have six wings, and ceaselessly sing praises to God.
Thrones are the third highest of the nine angelic orders, carrying the throne of God and channeling immense energy within their forms. They are also related to the Ophanim, bizarre wheel-like angels.
