Personality
A highly self righteous and self assured entity, a mixture of his Heavenly birth- Being an Angel to his eyes makes him one of the arms of God, to guide and guard His creations- as well as his personal rank, that of the Herald of Retribution, he is quick to act on his instincts when it comes to matters of justice, often siding with the first party that he encounters in need of help, sometimes rashly without considering the other party, he also often tends to see the world in extremes of light and dark and act accordingly.
Due to his role on Earth he is a personally very reclusive and elusive person, attempting to keep himself isolated from Human civilization as much as possible, though he has had a secret hand in safeguarding it, ever watchful of his charges. Though being as separate as possible from Human kind has not prevented him from forming friendships with mortal kind in the past, every time with him watching them slowly pass away, each time he lost a friend it broke his heart and he cut himself further and further off from mankind until almost all signs of his presence on the mortal world had vanished, though the more learned of Humanity will see he has not completely disappeared, instead he now watches the world in secret, ever seeking to aide his charges.

History
As Micheal is the Right Hand of God, Adnachiel is Micheals right hand. Thus it was that at the point when the three fallen Archangels turned on their Lord and brothers, Adnachiel stood as Michael's' lieutenant and most trusted bodyguard, he was there at the final battle against the fallen, discovering much to his dismay and almost to his death that his own sword- And a great blade of Heaven it is- could not slay Moloch when he approached Michael, flanked by his turncoat brothers. Though Adnachiel through himself into the fray he was knocked aside with no effort on the behalf of the Arch-Betrayer, his golden armour dented and warped. The weakened Angel recovered at the crucial point, where the final blow almost fell Belial paused, just for a moment, and in that moment Adnachiel swooped in, his wings trailing- half broken, and plunged his sword through the back of the Lesser-Betrayer, piercing his fell heart and draining him of his once noble blood.
Once the battle had finished Adnachiel swiftly pledged himself, with Michael's blessing, to watching over the mortal realm, for the return on the fallen Archangels was surely inevitable, so he willing turned from the Pearly Gates and came to live in the mortal realm, serving as its guardian in the shadows. Adnachiels first act was craft himself a disguise, so that his armour could reform itself over the centuries unseen by mankind, and so the form he took was of an old man, greatly wizened, with a grey flowing beard and gnarled hands clutching an aged walking stick, he was dressed in an old brown cloak and hood that covered his body and head and he walked with a break hunched back that made his ancient visage seem even more ancient and timeless.
With his disguise assumed to give his true form time to recover, he set about ensuring that Humanity had their own guardians among its own numbers. Knowing that to act openly would draw the attention the Betrayers so instead of having an active hand in the formation of the Earths guardians he acted in secret, guiding the greatest warriors, scholars and leaders down similar paths to each other, ensuring that they would band together and learn of the Betrayer threat, the result was The Circle. Over time Adnachiel return to observe the goings on of The Circle and more often than not he was pleased of its progress and success, eventually he began to spread the rumours of his old masters shattered blade on the mortal realm, knowing that with it he could finally bring the vengeance down on Moloch he so desperately desired, that was rightfully his to bring.
