Mort du fossoyeur

Lil is also known as Lilith, a destroyer archangel at least as old as Michael. Neither remembers a time when the other did not exist. It is thought God created them to be companions, but their relationship is more like that of irritable siblings. Also known as Tawûsî Melek (Kurdish: تاوسی مەلەک) ("the Peacock Angel" in English), she figures prominently in the Yazidi religion of her homeland. According to Yazidi tradition, before the rest of the world was created, she and other archangels were created, with her as the leader—or at least not bowing down to any of the other archangels. She is said to be an emination of God, similar to how Michael's name means "Who like God".

While plenty would put them against one another or make much about her refusal to bow to Michael (Adam), they mostly ignore each other and believe everyone to play an equal part in God's plan, whatever that may be.

Lilith tends to have a lot of negative and misogynistic beliefs attributed to her. Most of it is a matter of exaggerated or bad press. Apparently, birthing demons or eating your soulmate's knob or cursing people with The Evil Eye, makes popularity generally difficult to obtain.
