#pseudo-dionysus areopogite

[lickthecowhappy]

This is interesting because my assumption is Seraph.

"Seraph" means both "serpent" and "burning". While hierarchies differ in their placement of the seraph, the Celestial Hierarchy by pseduo-dionysus the areopogite puts them in the first (highest) order of angels.

The description of Seraph:

The appellation of Seraphim plainly teaches their ever moving around things Divine, and constancy, and warmth, and keenness, and the seething of that persistent, indomitable, and inflexible perpetual motion, and the vigorous assimilation and elevation of the subordinate, as giving new life and rekindling them to the same heat; and purifying through fire and burnt-offering, and the light-like and light-shedding characteristic which can never be concealed or consumed, and remains always the same, which destroys and dispels every kind of obscure darkness

I think the Bentley was a burnt offering.

He's always elevating his subordinates (read: big brother energy with Shax and Muriel)

he's "ever moving around things divine" (read: Aziraphale)

perpetual motion: self explanatory

Description of Thrones from the CH:

The appellation of the most exalted and pre-eminent Thrones denotes their manifest exaltation above every groveling inferiority, and their super-mundane tendency towards higher things; and their unswerving separation from all remoteness; and their invariable and firmly-fixed settlement around the veritable Highest, with the whole force of their powers; and their receptivity of the supremely Divine approach, in the absence of all passion and earthly tendency, and their bearing God; and the ardent expansion of themselves for the Divine receptions.

That just doesn't sound like him to me.

Bonus description of Cherubim:

But the appellation of the Cherubim denotes their knowledge and their vision of God, and their readiness to receive the highest gift of light, and their power of contemplating the super-Divine comeliness in its first revealed power, and their being filled anew with the impartation which makes wise, and their ungrudging communication to those next to them, by the stream of the given wisdom.

I have a very dear friend who has Big Knowledge about all things theology and angels and occultism and a big etc (they're a published author so they read A Ton Of Things for their books), and I made them watch Good Omens, and talking with them about it I said I'd really like to know what kind of Angel Crowley was. They told me "A Throne sounds very Crowley", based on what Muriel said when they snuck Crowley into Heaven. And, well...

Throne... The wheels... On fire..

...I'm gonna go along with what my friend said, until the canon says otherwise (if it ever does).

Just a fun thought.

There's also something just SO Crowley about having been an Angel who "never sleeps", and then sleeping for sport now that he's a Demon.

Also, Cherub friend.
