Samael (Hebrew: סַמָּאֵל, Sammāʾēl, "Venom/Poison of God"; Arabic: سمسمائيل, Samsama'il or سمائل, Samail; alternatively Smal, Smil, Samil, or Samiel) is an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic lore; a figure who is the accuser or adversary (Satan as mentioned in the Book of Job), seducer, and destroyer (Mashhit as mentioned in the Book of Exodus).

Although, outside of the depiction of Samael in various religions potrayed him as evil and seducer. In another interpretation, Samael's resistance to God is a interesting story to illustrate how an angel, as creatures created to always obey to God, can have free will, opposing his creator who he consider to be a tyrant.

This work is an ode to his mythology.
