Who is Uri-El?

Uri-El stands for "the bane of demons walks the Earth again" and he is a mystical being and peer of Michael and Gabriel. His sword cuts with the edge of truth and he holds the key to the very gates of Heaven. Uri-El's true purpose is to drive the forces of darkness to the four corners with his purifying light of unspeakable joy. Uri-El had slayed multitudes of the undead with his white flame until a dire mage of darkness from the valley of Euphrates contained him inside a magic seal. For centuries, that seal was riven and remade thirteen times and with each loosing, Uri-El would reduce the undead. Uri-El would be bounded to that magic seal once more until a powerful vampire named Charnel recovered his crate inside a cemetery in Elizabeth. Charnel did not work alone and another mistress of evil named Shelob wanted the mystic seal to lure Johnny Blaze to her web. Several undead henchmen accidentally moved the chains which broke the magic seal and set Uri-El free.
