I have been researching the name Raziel and I found something interesting. On a website I found a picture of a Archangel Raziel, he was human, had a blue robe, and was carrying a rod with a orb on top. This rod looked like Moebius' rod except it didn't have the snake coiled around. Also they said the name Raziel means 'Secret of God'. Makes me wonder if Moebius' rod is from the ancients as well. Or if the rod belongs to Raziel. Comments.. this is just an opinion so don't come in and say things like you are right and I'm so wrong. Be nice guys!!!
Ok the Angels names i found are now going to be listed here:

Yep Raziel is a name of an angel, i've search long ago and discovered this:
RAZIEL-An angel, called the angel of mysteries, who is the possessor of a staggering amount of information on all matters secret, arcane, and mysterious; his knowledge stems from the fact that he traditionally stands at the very curtains separating God from the rest of Creation and hears and notes everything that is said or done around the throne of the Lord. The angel supposedly wrote down much of this incomparably valuable information in the famous tome called the Book of the Angel Raziel. This grimoire (a type of book said to contain occult and arcane knowledge related to spells and sorcery) was probably written during the middle ages by one of the Jewish scholars-such as Isaac the Blind or Eleazar of Worms-but this did not keep it from becoming surrounded by a host of legends and tales. The most notable story is the one that has Raziel actually giving the book to Adam. The Book of the Angel Raziel is reputed to contain the 1,500 keys to the mysteries of the universe. Unfortunately these are written in a language so arcane and impossible to decipher (without presumably the aid of Raziel) that not even the greatest angels of heaven are able to figure it out. He is additionally the reputed chief or prince of the order of the erelim, the Hebrew understanding of what was later called the order of thrones. For his compassion and concern for Adam, Raziel is ranked as the special patron for the first human.
-----------
RAHAB-The so-called Angel of Violence, also called the angel of the sea and an angel who suffered from an unbelievable pride. According to legends surrounding Rahab, he was around at the very Creation of the world, with powers over the seas. He is also mention in the Book of Job. He is at times identified with the fallen angels (or devils) Leviathan and Behemoth, two dreadful beings of the sea. Rahab is also considered responsible for rescuing from the waters the Book of Angel Raziel, which had been given to Adam by Raziel and then stolen by envious angels who threw it into the ocean to keep Adam from reading its secrets.
-----------
DUMA-Also Dumah, the angel of Egypt and the angel of silence. Duma, whose name in Aramaic means "silence," is often cited as the angel recorded in Jewish legend who appeared and terrified the Israelites as they departed Egypt under the leadership of Moses. As the patron angel of Egypt, Duma made certain that no lasting harm came to the nation under his authority. As Jewish lore declares that all of the seventy guardian or patron angels of the nations fell-with the obvious exception of Michael, archangel and patron of Israel-it is possible to count Duma among the fallen angels. In one Jewish tradition (that of Zohar), he is now prince of hell, with command over a host of angels of destruction and a great number of demons and authority over punishment of wicked souls.
-----------
(this one is the one that looks like with Melchiah)MELKYAL-Also Melkejal, Malchidiel, and Machidiel, an angel whose name means the "fullness of God" and who is said to rise and rule at the beginning of the year for a total of ninety-one days. According to the First Book of Enoch, Melkyal gives the sign of his rule by the way the trees bear fruit, the leaves grow on a tree, the harvest is good, and the winter trees wither and die.
-----------
ZEPHON-An angel best known through his appearance in John Milton's Paradise Lost. Said in Jewish lore to be a cherubim and one of the protectors of paradise, in Paradise Lost (Book IV) he and Ithuriel, a fellow cherub, are sent by Gabriel to hunt for Satan, who has come to earth.
-----------
Turel-("rock of God" Turiel, Turael) one of 20 angels listed in the Book of Enoch who followed Semyaza in the descent from Heaven to cohabit with the daughters of men, an incident touched on in Genesis 6. As Turiel, Turel is a messenger of the spirits of the planet Jupiter; also, a messenger for the angel Sachiel or Satchiel.
And some that Azuriel posted too: (~note: i deleted the ones that i already posted above)

just for handyness, here are they all
MALIK-In Islamic lore, a righteous but nevertheles truly frightful angel who has authority over all of the damned souls in hell and who guards and watches over the infernal land suffering (the name means "master" or "king"). Malik and his able companions torment the damned souls and respond to their pleas of mercy by observing.
...
ow here`s a cool one:
AZRAEL-The much feared angel of death in both Islamic and Hebrew lore, whose name means "whom God helps." Among the Muslims, Azrael possesses four thousand wings and seventy thousand feet. Most important, he was given a supply of eyes and tongues exactly equal to the number of people inhabiting the world. Each time Azrael blinks one of his eyes, it signifies that another person has died. He came to the task by virtue of a surprisingly difficult job given to the angel of God. the Lord commanded that Michael, Gabriel, and Israfel journey to the earth and return with seven handfuls of dirt with which God planned to create Adam. The earth, however, refused to give up its treasure, moaning that mankind should not be created because they would turn against God and bring only sadness. As the three angels returned empty-handed, the Lord chose a fourth, Azrael. Far more determined, Azrael wrenched from the earth the dirt and brought it before the heavenly throne. As a reward, God made Azrael the angel responsible for separating the human soul from the body at the moment of death. Aside from his blinking eyes, Azrael also keeps track of the dying by scribbling ceaselessly into a mighty book. He writes into the book the births of the living and just as often erases other names-those who have died. Azrael is actually to be identified with Raphael, the archangel most closely associated with the life of humanity. (See also Death, Angel of.)
Az! you`re famous!!!!

ARIEL-There are several uses of the name in the Old Testament, namely in Isaiah, where it denotes the city of Jerusalem; and in Ezra, where it is the name of a man. There is also a long-standing tradition that Ariel is an angel, the name meaning "lion of God"; although he is variously described as a member of the angelic hierarchy, he is also at times placed among the evil angels. He is thus, variously, an angel companion of Raphael in his efforts to assist humanity and, in John Milton's Paradise Lost, one of the fallen angels who is routed by the stern and obedient seraph Abdiel during the war in heaven.
Seraphim (Choir)-The highest and most splendid of the nine accepted angelic orders as developed by the sixth-century theologian Dionysius the Areopagite and largely embraced by the Christian Church. Not only are the seraphim the highest of the nine choirs, they are ranked first in the first triad of the Dionysian scheme, with the cherubim and the thrones. Without question they are the closest in all of heaven to the very throne of God, and their primary function is to circle the incomprehensibly beautiful throne in perpetual adoration of the Lord. According to Enoch, each seraphim has six wings. The last detail is corroborated by the Old Testament Book of Isaiah (6:1-3).
ABYSS, ANGEL OF THE-The angel with authority over the nearly endlessly deep place, considered another name for hell and also termed the "Bottomless Pit." The Abyss is the abode of Satan and his legions of fallen angels; it is additionally the place to which the souls of the condemned are cosigned for an eternity of punishment and torment.
ELDERS-The collective name given to a group of twenty-four beings who sit upon thrones encircling the throne of God, as described by St. John in the Book of Revelation. It is often believed by scholars and interpreters of Revelation that the elders are, in fact, to be counted as great angels, perhaps a secret or distinct order of angelic beings. It is unclear where exactly the elders reside, although the Second Book of Enoch lists them as inhabiting part of the first of the seven heavens; here they act as "rulers of the stellar orders."
WOW, this is a BIG post... :p
