Angela

Birth of an Angel

Angela, like most angels is unaware of how she was created. However, Angela first sees her past lives after a battle with the arachnid beast known as, Argus. During the battle she becomes distracted by the face of the mysterious Deurges long enough to become entangled in Argus' web. After being captured, Angela sees that she was created from the lives of women who's souls had been sacrificed. All of these souls were then blended together to create Angela. However, the last thing each of her past lives saw was the dispassionate face of Deurges. Angela eventually escapes, killing Argus after swearing to find and kill Deurges as well.

Spawn

Angela's appearance upon going freelance.

When Angela first met Spawn, she immediately attempts to kill him, as it is her duty to rid the world of Hells servants. Even though she had more experience in battle than Spawn, he was still able to defeat her with the aide of his cloak. With Angela out of sight, Spawn examines her lance and upon touching a button on it, he is sent to a strange dreamworld However, when he awoke, both the lance and Angela were gone. Spawn later came to Angela's aide in Heaven when she was falsely accused of hunting without a permit and put on trial. During the trial, Spawn attempted to testify that Angela did indeed have a hunting permit when she came to kill him, however, his efforts were futile as the Angels in the court refused to listen and insisted on killing him instead. It was revealed to readers earlier that Angela had indeed obtained a hunter's permit from the Angel Gabrielle, however, Gabrielle held a long standing grudge against Angela and used her defeat against Spawn as an opportunity to frame her. Unfortunately, upon the trials end, the Angels in the courtroom begin to attack Spawn and Angela is forced to help him, although Spawn barely escapes with his life. The two of them end up in a corner of hell where they attempt a brief romantic relationship before fighting their way out. The two bicker back and forth on the subject of who was the better fighter before finally escaping. Angela, however, does not return with Spawn to Earth, and instead makes her way back to her home in Heaven where she informs her friends, Anahita and Kuan Yin, that she will be working as a free lance Angel from here on out.

Urizen

 Angela in battle

Later, the Dark God known as Urizen was released by two demons named Ab and Zab, and while Spawn attempted to stop the God on his own, he unfortunately was unsuccessful. Upon his defeat the Greenworld gave him new powers and Angela soon came to help him in order to inform him of Heaven's plan to stop Urizen. The two of them quickly set off to find the two demons, Ab and Zab, who had initially opened the gate, and found out about the purpose of Urizen's release. Angela quickly rushed back to Heaven in order to stop the Angel Tiffany and the group she commanded from going to Earth. If Tiffany were to reach Earth, it would usher the start of the Apocalypse since they would technically be invading, and thus giving Hell a proper chance to attack as well. Unfortunately they did not believe her and Angela single handedly fought the group to keep them from entering. Angela and Spawn soon team up again in order to capture Urizen and seal him back within his earthly prison. Later, it was revealed that Malebolgia had originally given the orders to release Urizen, knowing full well what would happen.
