An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The English word "angel" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. In the Old Testament.
The Scriptures give us no indication of the precise time of the creation of angels; their existence is assumed at the earliest times. Our Lord often spoke of angels; in the New Testament they are numerous and seven orders are mentioned: Angels, Powers, Principalities, Dominions (ations), Thrones and Archangels the Old Testament specifically mentions two others Seraph (im) and Cherub(im).
Both the New Testament and Old Testament refer also to the fallen angels. The Temptation of Adam and Eve presupposes the existence of bad spirits or demons who were cast into hell from which they have no hope of redemption. Angels are purely spiritual or bodiless persons, some of whom behold the face of God and thus are in bliss.
 This is a Guardian Angel
 This is a Seraphim they also call him flaming snake because its six wings are made of fire
The Cherub im are one of the highest ranks in the hierarchy of angels, along with Seraphim. Portrayed as children
ZE=+3>Some main angel names:
Raphael: is a Hebrew word that means "God is healing," thus Raphael is originally an archangel made known in ancient Judaism, who performs all manner of healing.
Azrael: The Angel of Death who is "forever writing in a large book and forever erasing what he writes: what he writes is the birth of man, what he erases is the name of the man at death."
Gabriel:(God is my strength)One of the two highest ranking angels. He is the angel of mercy, annunciation, dreams, aspirations, bringer of news, maker of changes, resurrection, vengeance, death and revelation. He presides over paradise and is the ruling angel of the first heaven.
Lucifer:(Light Giver) Erroneously equated with the fallen angel Satan due to a misreading of Isaiah. The Lord "put no trust" in his angels and "charged them with folly," which would indicate that angels were not all that they should be. The name Lucifer was applied to Satan by St. Jerome and other Church Fathers.
Metatron:Chancellor of heaven, highest power of abundance, prince of the ministering angels. He is charged with the sustenance of mankind. He has been known as the link between the human and the divine.

In rabbinic literature, Samael is chief of the Satans and the angel of death. In the "Secrets of Enoch (Enoch II) he is the prince of demons and a magician. Samael has been regarded both as evil and good; as one of the greatest and one of the foulest spirits operating in Heaven, on earth, and in Hell.
