In the Enochic tradition (1 Enoch as reported in secondary summary sources), Daniel is listed among the cadre of 200 angels whose leadership is organized into 20 chiefs; specifically he is named as the seventh of the 20 Watcher leaders and is credited with teaching humans the 'signs of the sun'. Separately, in later Western occult literature (as reported from Francis Barrett's The Magus), the name Daniel is reused as one of the 72 holy angels associated with the Shemhamphorae — a cataloguing of angelic names tied to divine names used in ceremonial magic. Both attestations are textual and reflect reuse of an angelic name across distinct literary and magical corpora.
No physical description of Daniel appears in the cited Enochic listing or in the Barrett summary excerpt; the supplied sources do not provide anthropomorphic or symbolic attributes for this angel.
In the Enochic context Daniel is credited specifically with teaching humans the 'signs of the sun', indicating a role as transmitter of solar/celestial knowledge (astronomical or astrological signs). The Barrett citation lists Daniel among the 72 Shemhamphorae angels but, in the provided excerpt, does not ascribe particular powers or functions to him beyond inclusion in that angelic roster.
Ramiel
Ramiel (Raʿamʾēl) is named in the Enochic Book of the Watchers as one of the chiefs among the fallen angels who descended in the antediluvian age, took human wives, and became part of the corrupt company responsible for the Nephilim. The name is a Semitic theophoric compound commonly glossed as “God has thundered.” Later traditions sometimes conflate Ramiel with similarly named holy angels (Remiel/Jeremiel), but in the Book of Enoch Ramiel is listed among the condemned Watchers.
Chazaqiel
Chazaqiel is named in modern summaries of the Book of Enoch tradition as one of the leaders among the two hundred Watchers who 'fell'; he is repeatedly glossed in the supplied sources as the teacher of knowledge about clouds or meteorology and is etymologically linked to clouds or sky phenomena.
