"Uriel is an oft-named member of the seven archangels and one of the most important angels in all of the heavenly host, with Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Unlike those three archangels, however, the existence and labors of Uriel are not supported in any way by the Scriptures, meaning that he is known entirely through legend, tales, and angelic lore. Nevertheless, Uriel, whose name means "fire of God," is truly a formidable angel, so much so that until the eighth century he was accepted entirely as an archangel to be honored by the Church and its faithful. Uriel is named as both a cherub and a seraph, holding a wide variety of offices and titles: regent of the sun, prince of the sun, angel of the presence, archangel of salvation, patron of prophecy, angel of music, and master of Tartarus.
According to the First Book of Enoch, he is the angel over thunder and terror and was sent to Noah to give him warning of the coming deluge. Two characteristics seem to predominate in the legends surrounding Uriel: his sharpness of mind and eye and his total, objective, and impersonel fulfillment of the divine will. Long accepted as one of the seven archangels in the Christian Church, Uriel's position was first scrutinized only in the eighth century. The Christian Church had grown alarmed at the rampant and excessive zeal with which many of the faithful were revering angels. At a council in Rome in 745 under Pope Zachary, seven angels were removed from the ranks of the Church's recognized angels. One of them was Uriel. Although stripped of his post as an archangel, Uriel was still honored by the Church under the name St. Uriel. As an angel he bore the symbols of the scroll and the book; as St Uriel he had the symbol of an open hand bearing a flame."

Yay Uriel!
I know, not what you expected ^^
In most of the readings I have done, and although there are quite a few nominated as such, Uriel is the one most attributed with being the Angel of Death. In which case, I wanted to give him a look that made him not only beautiful, but also quite creepy looking. I think i pulled it off u.u
The wings actually went through a few phases. At first, all four of them were bone with scraggly feathers, but I decided (with a lil help) to try and balance out between the healthy and unhealthy wings. I think it came out interestingly, especially the butterfly effect the black wings have.
A challenge, nontheless, as I haven't really tried drawing anything as emaciated as him. Poor Uriel, he's totally gonna smite me for this. XD I totally went against the norm.
