Talk: Mikhail

Why it's important to point out the fact that many dragons share the names of angels who appear in the Bible and/or the Book of Enoch

Dragons and Angels are said to be ancient, "natural" enemies, a tradition going back so far that many dragons cannot remember why. This is mainly why it is so very ironic that many dragons actually share angelic names. Is there a deeper meaning to this? Possibly, especially if you have read the DOD1.3 novella...

Here's a short break-down of names of the dragons and their angelic counterpart:

• Angel / Angelus: A direct reference to not a specific angel, but one much more indirectly relating to them all
• Legna: This is merely a reverse spelling of "angel" which denotes his very nature of an anti-angel destroyer.
• Michael: His name means "he who is like God". He lead an army of angels to fight against Lucifer, among other feats of wonder.
• Gabriel: His name means "the strength of God". He is seen many times as the messenger of good news.

The others are a mish-mash of archangels, angels, and Watchers:

• Raphael: His name means "God heals". 
• Phanuel: He is the fourth angel that stands before God, after Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel.
• Armaros: Meaning "cursed one" or "accursed one", Armaros is the eleventh on a list of 20 leaders of a group of 200 fallen angels called Grigori or "Watchers" in the Book of Enoch.
• Armisael: Mountain of Judgment of God
• Abdiel: Servant of God
• Zophiel / Jophiel: My Rock is God

The origin of the name "Mikhail"

• Although there are many variants of the name in a multitude of languages, it seems as though the Russian usage is the most common.
• There are several famous people who have shared the name Mikhail, one being the previous leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev.
