[[caption-width-right:219:]]

One of the nine Princes of Hell, he is a fallen angel and the lieutenant of Hell, second only to Lucifer himself. He brought mankind the gift of blacksmithing, which was the reason for his fall.

* TheBlacksmith: Was responsible for telling humans how to forge weapons.
* DealWithTheDevil: In return for giving them information about a weapon capable of severing the connection between Jace and Sebastian, he demands Alec, Isabelle, Magnus, and Simon each give up a happy memory.
* JackassGenie: He only informs Team Good of his terms for telling them how to make a connection-severing weapon after he absorbs their memories: he will be allowed to roam free and take Jace to Hell with him. Naturally, everyone is horrified and chooses not to pursue it.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Even one of the most powerful demons in the universe is afraid of the Mark of Cain and lets Simon walk away because he has it. Makes sense, since the Mark was created by God himself.

[[folder:Asmodeus]]
[[quoteright:219:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shadowhunters_asmodeus_2.jpg]]

One of the nine Princes of Hell, a fallen angel, and co-ruler of Edom alongside Lilith. He also happens to be the father of Magnus Bane.

* ForegoneConclusion: He will survive the events of ''The Last Hours'', since he still manages to physically manifest in ''Ghosts of the Shadow Market'' (set in 1936) and ''The Lost Book of the White'' (set in 2010).

* LukeIAmYourFather: In ''Chain of Gold'', it is revealed that he is the father of Tessa Gray. This makes him not only a grandfather of her children, James and Lucie, but also a paternal ancestor of all future main-branch Herondales (including Stephen and Jace).

* TakeOverTheWorld: Sometime before the events of ''Chain of Gold'', he incapacitated Belphegor and took over his demon realm. In fact, his title "Lord of Thieves" alludes to his tendency to conquer a world to and remake it to his content. ''Chain of Iron'' confirms that he has taken over Edom as well, though we know that this will not last as Edom is ruled by Asmodeus and Lilith in ''City of Heavenly Fire''.

[[quoteright:219:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shadowhunters_ithuriel.png]]
[[caption-width-right:219:]]

An angel who became an important accessory to the plans of two villains in the franchise. In the 1800s, part of his soul was trapped by warlock John Shade into a pendant which he later gave to Axel Mortmain. Mortmain in turn gave the pendant to Elizabeth Gray, enabling her to deliver Tessa alive in spite of her demonic heritage. In the late 1980s, Ithuriel was summoned and captured by Valentine Morgenstern, who subjected him to experiments that led to increased angelic blood within Jace and Clary.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: In ''Clockwork Princess'', Tessa briefly assumes his form when she is about to be handed over to Mortmain, which stands as tall as his brother Raziel.
* BullyingADragon: He was chained by Valentine for years in the basement of Wayland Manor.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Clary and Jace free him from his confinement, he immediately kills himself.
* GuardianAngel: He is this to Tessa, being the one who ensured that she would survive even though she was fathered by a Greater Demon. As the clockwork angel, he also saves Tessa many times throughout the ''Infernal Devices'' books.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: He is the reason why Clary and all Herondales descended from Will have a star-shaped birthmark on their neck.

[[folder:Raziel]]
[[quoteright:219:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shadowhunters_raziel.jpg]]

An archangel and the patron of all Shadowhunters. He set the Covenant with Jonathan Shadowhunter, who drank from the Mortal Cup containing Raziel's blood, turning him into the first Nephilim. Other than the Cup, he also gifted Jonathan the Mortal Sword and the Mortal Mirror, the three of which form the Mortal Instruments. His blood flows in the veins of all Shadowhunters. Also older brother to Ithuriel.

* KillEmAll: Singlehandedly massacres the entire population of Silent Brothers who reside in Silent City at the time.

* EvilIsSterile: When she was cast from Eden, she was cursed so all children she bears are born dead. This is why she adores Sebastian; he is first human child with her blood who survives, thanks to his Shadowhunter heritage.

** Demons that are hardly more intelligent than animals prefer to attack humans immediately. Those who have a human intelligence [[BedTrick seduce]] or rape humans so [[WitchSpecies warlocks]] are born. Although warlocks are [[HalfHumanHybrid half-demonic]], they are as moral as humans. It is also believed that the [[TheFairFolk fairies]] were originally created because demons mated with angels.

One of the nine Princes of Hell. He was the Serpent who goaded Eve to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and therefore cause the Fall of Man. Alongside his consort, Lilith, he began the Incursion to Earth a thousand years ago, bringing the celestial war closer to Earth. The archangel Michael personally descended to defeat Sammael, forcing him to the Void where he spent the next millennia trying to reform, but not without an ambition in mind

* ColdBloodedTorture: When the team enters Diyu, Sammael singles out Simon, who had incapacitated his beloved Lilith, and plans him to be tortured in Diyu's torture chambers for all eternity.

* JackassGenie: He only informs Team Good the terms in return for telling them how to make connection-severing weapon after he absorbs their memories: he will be allowed to roam free and take Jace to Hell with him. Naturally, everyone is horrified and choose not to pursue it.

A Greater Demon who was trapped by Edmund Herondale inside a Pyxis box before he renounced his duty as Shadowhunter. He was accidentally freed by Edmund's son, Will in 1873.

** She is also this as the demon who gave Sebastian his powers. Even after her corporeal form is destroyed in ''City of Fallen Angels'', she continues to influence his decision in the next two books. Of note, her blood is used to create the Infernal Cup.

* BishonenLine: The lowest demons in the hierarchy are monster or animal-like abominations. The highest ranked, the Princes of Hell, are handsome men with a few imperfections.

** When demons reach human's homeworld, they almost always look monstrous (unless they are [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifters]]). However, ordinary humans usually cannot recognize them for [[InvisibleToNormals what they are]]. They can also summon demons, but it is rare that they actually enter into a pact with humans. [[EvilIsNotAToy Mostly they just kill them]].
** When demons reach people's homeworld, they almost always attack humans instantly to kill them, and sometimes even eat them up. However, the shadowhunters often notice it when demons are around, and hunt them. Sometimes the demons are also hunted and killed by werewolves.

* BigBad: Of ''City of Fallen Angels''.

* DemonicPossession: Unlike other Greater Demons, he is unable to manifest physically in the real world, having to rely on vessels to do so.

* TakeOverTheWorld: Sometime before the events of ''Chain of Gold'', he incapacitated Belphegor and took over his demon realm. In fact, his title "Lord of Thieves" alludes to his tendency to conquer a world to and remake it to his content.

Other than the Cup, he also gifted Jonathan the Mortal Sword and the Mortal Mirror, the three of which form the Mortal Instruments. His blood flows in the veins of all Shadowhunters. Also older brother to Ithuriel.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He is not at all pleased when Valentine summonshim, considering that he has locked up and abused his brother, Ithuriel, a transgression that is beyond a normal Shadowhunter's comprehension. This is just one of the many reasons why he wasted no time to smite him.

* GreaterScopeParagon: He was the one who gave Shadowhunters the means to fight demons. However, Raziel himself is very remote even compared to Greater Demons and rarely involve himself in mortal problems. In modern times, some Shadowhunters have considered the story of Raziel and Jonathan Shadowhunter as something of a myth, akin to religious beliefs that they can interpret however they like.

* SummoningRitual: The Mortal Instruments are required to summon him, a ritual that can only be done once every millennium. Once they have all three, he will come to them and will grant any single wish the summoner wants. Or rather, he won't smite them the moment he appears and might consider granting that single wish. Well...
* {{Telepathy}}: Can read minds and hearts; justified due to his angelic status.
