Friend of Justice and Harmony

The Friend of Justice and Harmony is the archangel Raguel, an Eden constellation who repeatedly favors restraint before becoming the first victim of Michael's sanctioned massacre.

Biography

A moderating voice in Eden

Raguel appears among Eden's senior archangels during training and later watches conflicts involving Kim Dokja's Company. When Jung Heewon's request divides Absolute Good, Raguel votes in favor; when Michael threatens violence, Raguel tries to dissuade him. These decisions consistently favor de-escalation and individual judgment over automatic obedience. (Chapters 278, 305, and 311–315)

Sympathy without understanding

Raguel is startled when Kim demands Selena Kim's release from a coercive pledge and later sympathizes with Jung Heewon on the battlefield. Jung rejects the distant sympathy of constellations who allowed her suffering to become spectacle, exposing the limit of Raguel's benevolence when it remains an indirect message rather than intervention. (Chapters 319 and 398)

Killed to preserve Absolute Good

Metatron permits Michael to attack his own camp, and Michael's first blade pierces Raguel. Raguel can only repeat Michael's name in disbelief before his Stories pour out and he dies. His murder becomes the act that increases Michael's corrupted power and makes Eden's claim to Good inseparable from violence against one of its own advocates of harmony. (Chapter 402)

Appearance and personality

Raguel is characterized through intervention rather than appearance: he votes for Jung Heewon's request, tries to dissuade Michael, and sympathizes when Heewon suffers. His final repeated utterance of Michael's name is disbelief rather than defiance, showing how completely Eden's sanctioned betrayal exceeds what the archangel of harmony expected from his own camp. (Chapters 305–315, 398, and 402)

Abilities, attributes, and stories

Raguel's confirmed authority is collective and institutional; the source shows his vote and senior archangel Status, but not a signature combat technique before Michael kills him.

Archangel Status

Raguel possesses the Status of a senior Eden constellation and can participate in Absolute Good's collective decisions. The supplied chapters do not show a named weapon, stigma, or full combat demonstration. (Chapters 278 and 305)

Collective judgment

His agreement can contribute to authorizing or cancelling sponsor-derived powers such as Jung Heewon's request. This influence depends on the broader vote of Absolute Good constellations rather than functioning as a unilateral ability. (Chapter 305)

Mortal vulnerability

When Metatron removes the restriction against same-camp violence, Michael's sword kills Raguel before he can defend himself. His death demonstrates that archangel status does not prevent Story loss or death when a stronger ally is permitted to strike. (Chapter 402)
