Venom of Severity

Samael inflicts mortal wounds that cannot be healed by divine grace, dealing damage scaled by the target's remaining lifespan.

Passive

Accuser's Gaze

All enemies are visible to Samael regardless of concealment; he perceives the sins and weaknesses of mortals with perfect clarity.

Weakness

Subject to God's authority

In Jewish tradition, Samael is the angel of death AND the guardian angel of Esau/Rome. He wrestled with Jacob (some traditions). He is sometimes identified with Satan, sometimes distinct. He is married to Lilith in Kabbalistic demonology. The most morally ambiguous figure in all angelology.
