Metatron, angel and mediator between God and humanity, is one of the most mysterious and powerful figures in angelology.
He holds a unique place in the hierarchy of heavenly beings. Unlike most angels, who have canonically always been celestial, Metatron was once a human named Enoch before transforming into one of God's angels. According to Hebrew mythology, he then rose to one of the highest ranks in the heavenly realm, becoming a heavenly scribe and intermediary between God and humanity.

He is often associated with spiritual power and sacred knowledge, serving as a bridge between the divine and the material world. Sacred texts frequently depict him as a figure who has access to the deepest secrets of creation.
