Amenadiel is the eldest angel, and thus the older brother of Lucifer Morningstar and all the other angels. He came to Earth to convince Lucifer to return to Hell, after Lucifer abdicates the throne. Amenadiel is the eldest child of God and Goddess. As a child, he played with his siblings, however, he and the other older children often excluded Uriel from their activities.
All of his siblings admired and looked up to him. Like his siblings, Amenadiel serves God. Sometime after Lucifer rebelled, Amenadiel took his mother to Hell under his father's orders. Amenadiel was the one that gave Cain his mark. Circa 1981, for unknown reasons, God asked something of Amenadiel that he never asked before; to go down to Earth and bless a couple who were unable to have a child of their own. That couple was John and Penelope Decker, who would then give birth to Chloe Decker. That was the first and only time God had ever asked Amenadiel to do anything in the same manner. Amenadiel is very head-strong and self-righteous.

Lucifer describing him as "major power-hungry dick" though admitted that he and their other siblings all looked up to Amenadiel. He is extremely loyal to his father, God, and has shown great determination to complete whatever task he believes God wants him to do. Amenadiel shows disdain towards Hell and Earth. He rejects becoming the sovereign of Hell nor does he want to live on Earth. He looks down at humans and once called humans who were with Lucifer "poor creatures" who "know not what they do." However, after living on Earth he begins to understand humans more and even falls in love with one.
While generally trying to do "good", Amenadiel has at times deviated. While trying to force Lucifer to go back to Hell, he lied and manipulating Dr. Linda Martin. He also resurrected Malcolm Graham from Hell in order for Malcolm to kill Lucifer. Goddess noted Amenadiel sacrifices a lot to be the "good son" but is never rewarded for all he does. However, Amenadiel is not without remorse; when he befriended Linda in order to manipulate Lucifer he truly thought of her as a friend. When he realized his action had led to people being hurt, he felt guilty and sought to make things right.
When Amenadiel fell, he started to become weary of God's choices. He believes God is testing him but he is confused on what he should do. In season 3, he had concluded that Lucifer is his test, that God wants him to be there for Lucifer and be his "brother's keeper." Amenadiel hides the fact he still cares about Lucifer, but still acts in his best interest. When he saw Lucifer was on the verge of crying from using his pain to ignite tge Flaming Sword, he stopped Goddess from forcing him to kerp trying when it faiked to stay lit.
Amenadiel
Abilities
- Angelic Physiology : As an angel, Amenadiel has their physiology, including superhuman strength, reflexes, resilience, immortality, flight, and shape-shifting. As the oldest Angel and one of the higher ranking Angels, he is extremely powerful, among the most powerful angels ever created. Amenadiel is probably the only angel strong enough to rival Lucifer, albeit Lucifer was weakened due to not having his wings, and was able to catch him off guard and almost beat him when he was at full power and far exceeds Uriel's powers. Furthermore, when Amenadiel was weakened and his wings are damaged, he was still stronger than normal humans, as shown when he held off three hospital security guards. After Charlotte Richards died to save Amenadiel, his angelic powers were restored and he was able to take her soul to Heaven.
- Super Strength : Being a high ranking angel more specifically the eldest angel, Amenadiel is one of the strongest angels, holding extreme levels of superhuman strength, being able to even rival Lucifer in combat while Lucifer was weakened due to not having his wings, although he was eventualy overpowered, and almost defeat the latter at full power when he was holding back in a boxing match and far exceed the strength of Uriel. Even after being weakened he was still stronger than a regular human.
- Immortality : Being an Celestial being, he is immune to age and is imppsible to harm by any means which can kill or injure mortals easily. He can be harmed by supernatural weapons and means.
- Chronokinesis : Amenadiel is able to control time, which allows him to keep his presence on Earth invisible to humans and move through crowds undetected. He believed he was given this power to perform his father's will without being noticed. He can also make objects fall in slow motion or to freeze all together. However, his ability seems to only affect humans and inanimate objects; celestial beings and demons are unaffected. When he begun his fall as an angel, his abilities started to wane. He was only be able to keep time slowed for a few moments or time would go back to normal without his control, notably revealing himself when he was trying to sneak into Chloe's office. In "The Good, the Bad and the Crispy", Amenadiel was able to considerably slow time to allow Maze to save Linda. However, this took intense concentration and left him exhausted afterwards. In "They're Back, Aren't They?", Amenadiel tells Lucifer that this appears to have been "a one time thing" as he has since been unable to replicate the effect or use any of his other powers. This power was presumably restored when his powers returned.
- Resurrection : When a dying Malcolm was taken off the machine, Amenadiel brought him back to life from his ward window. He does this by taking a soul and placing it in a recently deceased body. Without his wings as a fallen angel, Amenadiel would be unable to travel to Heaven or Hell to retrieve a soul to revive someone. This power was presumably restored when his powers returned as he took Charlotte Richards to Heaven.
- Healing : When resurrecting Malcolm Graham, Amenadiel healed the gunshot wound that originally killed him.
- Dimensional Travel : When Amenadiel possessed his wings, he was able to travel between Heaven, Hell and Earth. He lost this ability when his wings were damage and his powers were weakened. Upon regaining his wings, Amenadiel regained the ability to travel back to the Realm of Heaven. His first act upon regaining his angelic wings were to travel to Heaven with Charlotte's soul so that Charlotte can finally be at blissful peace in the afterlife.
- Expert Combatant : Amenadiel is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, able to swiftly gain the upper hand against the demon Maze in a duel, even mocking her. Even without his powers, Amenadiel could fight off three hospital security guards. Amenadiel was also able to hold his own and overpower Marcus Pierce, who, while human, has been alive for thousands of years and is highly skilled combatant. Despite all this, however, while able to compete with and even defeat Lucifer in two of their previous altercations when Lucifer was holding back to allow Amenadiel to beat him, even when the latter was at full power, albeit at the time, Lucifer seemed to be only toying with him rather than actually intending to defeat him when Amenadiel got angered, when Amenadiel faced Lucifer when Lucifer held nothing back, Amenadiel was able to contend with him but was ultimately overpowered, showing Lucifer was in the end the superior fighter.
- As a angel, Amenadiel has their weaknesses including the Flaming Sword, demonic weapons, and other supernatural beings.
- Guilt: Angels are also under the same system of judgment as humans. Similar to the manner in which human get judged to determine if they are to go to Hell, if an angel feels a sufficient amount of guilt, it could cause an angel to self-judge themselves as sinners and self-punish themselves to fall and become mortal. Because of Amenadiel's own personal guilt and feelings of unworthiness, Amenadiel judged himself to guilty and caused himself to fall and lose his wings.
