Samuel Purdy
Samuel Purdy (Sam) is a street evangelist with questionable marketing skills. He has a disturbing amount of knowledge about everyone and everything. With straw-like hair that sticks out in all directions and a quirky personality, Sam is like a pattern-blind, fashion-challenged Wizard of Oz Scarecrow.
He was raised in Suffolk, England by adoptive parents Abigail and Leonard Purdy. He has two younger adopted sisters, Susan Purdy and Lilibeth Blackthorne. Childhood hobbies and activities included computers and the Emergency Services Cadets. Sam is a big fan of Freddy Mercury and Depeche Mode.
Sam was Callum Dougal's teaching assistant for several Cultural Ethics, Theology and Philosophy classes while he was working on his 3rd PhD. Sam is a polyglot, speaking several languages fluently including Kurdish, Mesopotamian Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, Norwegian, Spanish, several dialects of Uto-Aztecan, Navajo and Welsh.

Samael
Sam is the destroyer archangel known as Samael. Samael can create clones or "avatars" that answer to him. These copies are sub-processes of his greater spirit, and as such aren't always the brightest. Some would call them demons, but Sam objects to this term after the demon baby incident as they are tethered to his spirit and not autonomous. Sam is unable to lie, and lives by the tenets that God's greatest gifts to mankind are truth and free will. Sam is quite a bit younger than the other archangels.
The Black Dragon
Sam's dragon has black, leathery bat-wings that are covered in thousands of gold eyes. His head is lionlike with polycerate horns, and multiple rows of sharp pointy teeth that are too large for his head. Sam tends to resemble a wyvern because he has no arms. Other dragon-battle scars include vestigial ox-hooves, and a herniated umbilical stump.
