Mastema
Type: Angel (Chief of the Demons)
Mentioned: Book of Jubilees, Book of Job, Book of Exodus
Summary: Mastema is the tester of humans with God's permission. He is mentioned many times with the title of "ha-Satan" meaning the opposer. In heaven, he was a member of the divine court, a prosecutor. On Earth, he requested that he may lead the disembodied spirits left behind after the great flood, as they needed to be kept in line. God agreed. He later tests Abraham's loyalty to God by telling him God demanded he kill his son, Isaac. The deaths of Egypt's first borns are also the work of Mastema. He is widely believed to be God's adversary, and greatest enemy. However, he is still under God's control, and while he may be Chief of the demons, he is not The Devil.

* In popular Jewish Tradition, "Devils" is a term for fallen angels. The fact that "Demons" is used as a term for fallen angels is a Christian Folklore based tradition. Because fallen angels or devils are much more powerful than demons (their offspring), they are not one in the same.

Samyaza
Type: Fallen Angel

Summary: Samyaza was the leader of all of the watcher angels. He lusted after human women and was one of the fathers of the Nephilim. He was bound in the center of the earth by Michael for his crimes along with the other leaders of the Watchers. As the first and leader of the fallen angels, and the ultimate cause of and father of the first demons, it is widely believed that Samyaza is "the devil" or "the adversary" that will one day rise up and lead the demons and evil fallen angels or devils against God on Judgement Day to rebel against his fate. He and Mastema (Chief of the demons and the angel who tests one's faith) are not one in the same.

* A hierarchy of angels is noncanical to the Hebrew Bible. It is an invention by human being "Rabbi Mosheh Ben Maimon" and not of the Holy Texts. However, for the sake of diversity, we LIGHTLY use the concept to give skills, jobs, and abilities to angel players.
