Alukah
In Jewish tradition, Alukah is a blood-lusting monster or vampire described in the Hebrew Bible's Proverbs 30:15. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Minor Spirit (or possibly Lesser) since it feeds on animals and doesn't match the Primordial description. 2. Abilities don't accurately reflect "blood-lusting monster" or vampi)
Ananias son of Nedebeus
Ananias son of Nedebeus (Hebrew: חנניה בן נדבאי, Ḥananyá ben Nadváy) is presented in Jewish and early Christian sources as the historical high priest of Jerusalem who served c. 47–58 CE. He appears in the Acts of the Apostles as the presiding official at parts of the legal proceedings against Paul and is discussed in later historical commentary (including Josephus under the variant 'Ananias ben Nebedeus').
Angel of the Presence
A high-ranking heavenly attendant described in Hebrew and Second Temple literature as one who "stands in the presence" of God and acts on God's behalf toward Israel. Sources treat the figure either as an elite created angelic office (one of the attendants who enter before the Lord) or, alternately, as a scriptural idiom referring to God's own saving presence.
Asmodeus
Asmodeus (Heb. Ashmedai/Ashmeday; Gr. Asmodaios; Arabic Sakhr in some accounts) is a named malignant spirit appearing in Near Eastern Jewish, Christian deuterocanonical, and later Islamic storytelling. Traditions portray him as a princely or kingly figure among malevolent spirits who intervenes in human affairs—notably hostile to marriages and in contest with King Solomon—and who can be driven off or bound by ritual fumigation and angelic agency.
Broxa
A nocturnal bird entity in Jewish folklore that sucks milk from goats and human blood at night. (Note: - Power tier: Greater (broxa's sucking of human blood suggests a higher power level than Minor Spirit) - Weaknesses: not specified in source material - Wards: not specified in source material)
Hashmal
In the supplied Jewish textual materials, Hashmal (Hebrew חַשְׁמַל; pl. Hashmallim) appears both as a luminous element in Ezekiel's prophetic theophany and as the name of an angelic rank in later Jewish angelology, described in secondary sources as administrative officers of Heaven.
Ishana (Īśāna)
Ishana is a Pañchabrahma aspect of the god Śiva and the dikpāla (directional guardian) of the northeast in Hindu tradition. Presented across Vedic, Āraṇyaka, and Purāṇic materials, Ishana is an auspicious, immanent and presiding form associated with speech, knowledge, and ritual sanctification rather than an independent or malign spirit.
Ishbara Tolis
Ishbara Tolis (personal name Ashina Tong'e) was a historical khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate who reigned c. 634–639. He is recorded in Chinese and modern sources as a political ruler who sought to legitimize and balance competing tribal factions (Duolu and Nushibi) by investing ten tribal leaders as shads.
Ishbi-Erra
Ishbi-Erra is a historical early second-millennium BCE Mesopotamian ruler who rose from an official under the last king of the Third Dynasty of Ur to found the dynasty of Isin; documentary sources present him as a political and cultic actor who issued year-names, commissioned hymns, appointed temple personnel, built fortifications, and waged military campaigns.
Ishinagenjo
Ishinagenjo is a Japanese coastal folkloric phenomenon in which fishermen hear the sound and feel the effects of a huge stone crashing into the sea though no stone is ever found. Sources treat it variously as an episode of yōkai activity (sometimes linked to sea-witch figures such as the Iso Woman) or as an illusion/perceptual error recorded in fisherfolk accounts from several coastal localities.
Ishmael
Ishmael (Heb. Yishmaʿeʾl) is a human patriarch in the Hebrew Bible, described as Abraham's firstborn son by Hagar; in later reception (notably Islamic tradition) he is also regarded as a prophetic ancestor of certain Arab lineages. The biblical narrative situates him as the progenitor of twelve sons who become tribal chiefs and as a figure who lives and survives in the wilderness.
Ishmael ben Fabus
Ishmael ben Fabus (also rendered Ishmael ben Phabi / Phiabi) was a historical High Priest (Kohen Gadol) of Jerusalem in the early 1st century CE. He is attested in rabbinic sources for officiating at rare Temple rites (notably the red heifer) and appears in scholarly lists and histories as holding office during a period of Roman intervention in high-priestly appointments (commonly dated c. 15–16 CE).
