Profile

Origin

Shemihaza[a] or Shemhazai[b] is a fallen angel first mentioned in some Second Temple Jewish writings, including the Book of Enoch and the Book of Giants. In Enoch, he is one of the two main leaders of the Watchers along with Azael.[1] The Book of Giants presents him as penitent.[2]

Shemhazai also appears in later Rabbinic literature. He is briefly mentioned in Niddah 61a of the Talmud, where he is said to be an ancestor of the Amorite and Bashanite kings Sihon and Og (Numbers 21). In aggadic writings, he appears as a fallen angel in conjunction with Azael;[3][4] note however that Azael is paired with Uzza[c] instead in other traditions (such as Yoma 67b in the Talmud).

Shin Megami Tensei IV

A fallen angel found in the Book of Enoch, where he gave a human knowledge of God.

The Grigori, a group of angels which descended upon the earth to watch humans, instead began to lust for women. Because of that, God marked them with the stigmata of fallen angels. They also taught humans warfare, which angered God and caused him to send the Great Flood. Samyaza is a leader of the Grigori.
