Foolish heathens! Let us achieve beautiful destruction together!
― Tamiel
Tamiel is the leader of the evil church of the Sydonai on Roak that worships Asmodeus and he plots to destroy the world. He appears to be a power crazed, and somewhat psychotic, humanoid of Roak, but is in fact a Grigori. He is fought at the Inner Sanctum of the Purgatorium.

Story[]
Tamiel is first met at Tropp, attempting to spread the cult of the Archfiend Asmodeus, who will save all mankind with destruction and guide them to a new world of peace. This is an adaptation of the goal of the Grigori and the Missing Procedure to the people and culture of Roak, which shows Tamiel has the same thought pattern as all the other Grigori.
When the party have made their way through the Purgatorium they reach a large chamber in which Tamiel is worshipping Asmodeus. He reveals his plan to cleanse the world through its destruction. After much debate Edge's symbol on his hand begins to glow and the whole party feels ready for battle. Tamiel does not transform into a creature but is accompanied by Sydonaist henchmen.
Gameplay[]
He appears as a quite tall man with a staff for using Symbology. His attacks mainly consist of aerial symbology or swipes of his staff in close quarter combat. He is constantly surrounded by henchmen and revives them if the party kills them all.
Defeating Tamiel grants the player the "Trounced Tamiel" achievement/trophy.
