The angel is the Prime Minister of King Olwys' court. Even if he says he hates the gods for their carelessness towards every living creature, Henril actually yearns for power. For years he has studied the demons race, hoping to free them and chain them, using the Sword Of Ice And Fire, to conquer the world. He manages to free Fregor from the dungeons and he persuades him to help find the magic Sword. He is killed by Syndag in the final battle.
