EDIT: It's lighter now and I upped the contrast a bit. Is it better or should I lighten it more?



If it is too dark, I apologize. It looks fine on my computer.

Samael the Oblivion who I adopted from *NimbleBun and his owl minion, Lilith. Took me forever to finish this Dx Sorry. You know how life is.

SAMAEL (סמאל): In Jewish mythology, this is the name of an archangel, a fallen angel, the Angel of Death or Poison, the accuser, seducer, and destroyer famously known as The Grim Reaper. He is said to be both good and evil, having been one of the heavenly host. He rules over seven habitations called Sheba Ha-yechaloth, infernal realms of the Earth. The Talmud states: "the evil Spirit, Satan, and Sama'el the Angel of Death, are the same"; and Samael is also therein equated with the biblical serpent who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. He is called the Prince of Darkness and chief of the Dragons of Evil and is held responsible for the scorching wind of the desert called the simoom. It is probably the Hebrew form of Syrian Shemal ("left"), but composed of 'el "god" and suwm "to create" or "to place, to set," hence "whom God makes." It is also sometimes rendered "venom of God."

LILITH (לִילִית): Hebrew form of Sumerian Lilitu, meaning "of the night." In mythology, this is the name of a Mesopotamian storm demon associated with the wind and thought to bear disease and death. In ancient Semitic folklore, it is the name of a night demon. The oldest story considers Lilith to be Adam's first wife. In the bible, this is simply a word for a "screech owl."

Pretty much sums him and her up. Samael and Lilith are made up of shadows so no highlights for them. Shadows spill out of them as you can see.

This place they are confined in is called Abaddōn (which is a place of destruction and ruination).

Samael can create shadow beasts to do his bidding in the real world since he is trapped in Abaddōn.... for the time being. Lilith is able to travel between Abaddōn and the real world and is pretty much in command in Samael's place.

I'll write more about them when I do their reference sheet.
