Metatron was an angel and the Scribe of God who recorded The Word of God. In Heaven, even before the Rebellion, Metatron was personally selected by God Himself to write down his word and then both Oracle and God disappeared. Eventually, out of fear that the Archangels would steal the information of God from him, Metatron left Heaven and hid among Native American tribes and modern day Americans until discovered by the Team in 2013.
In Season 8, learning that all the remaining Archangels has pledged themselves Oracle, Metatron was then made the Scribe of the Original Angel, to which her agreed to. However, he was eventually captured by Sariel as a means to resurrect the Seraphim. While he was able to resist all attempts, Sariel eventually learned the information by digging into his mind but while the Seraphim were resurrected, Metatron was rescued by Oracle. He then helped the Angels and Team kill the Seraphim and was finally welcomed with open arms by Heaven, due to his bravery and heroism in the War.
After Amara was released, Metatron's knowledge was insufficient in helping the Angels, as even he did not known much about Amara. However, he was apported to the Bar of Light by God and after briefly being convinced to help him write a manuscript, ultimately helped God realise that he is and always will be the Creator. Metatron then helped the Team free Lucifer and even sacrificed himself for them. However, he was ressurected by God, who gave him much greater power, rivaling that of even Archangel Lucifer to help. He survived the War and continued to help Oracle run Heaven.
Biography[]
Early History[]
Origins[]
| “ | I'm not one of them. I'm not an archangel. I'm really more run-of-the-mill. I worked in the secretarial pool before God chose me to take down the word. Anyway, He seemed very worried about His work, what would happen to it if anything absolutely bad went wrong, so He had me write down instructions. Then, following the Rebellion and a certain angel's vanishing act, God was gone. After that...the archangels took over. They cried, and they wailed. They wanted their father and brother back. I mean, we all did. But then -- then they started to scheme. The archangels decided if they couldn't have dad or big bro, they'd take over all of Creation themselves. But with all their power, even the Archangels couldn't do anything that big without The Word of God. So I began to realize maybe they would realize...they needed me. But I knew that wasn't what God would want. So I took up the Words of God, and when the Archangels came, I used the power of the Words in order to stun them. It was easy enough to stun Sariel and Raphael, but Michael was on another level. Even though i wasn't a warrior, i knew i had to fight for once so God's Words can be preserved. So i fought him and managed to injure him enough to escape to a place where even they cannot reach me. However, i was gravely wounded. Michael was too much of a warrior for me to defeat. It took a full 3 years to completely recover, even with the Tablets empowering me. It was only after a few years that I hid the Words in specific places. | „ |
| — Metatron, to the Team | ||
Although originally presumed to be an archangel, Metatron himself revealed that he was simply a common angel with a secretarial-like position. He was chosen by both Oracle and God Himself to be his Scribe sometime before God's departure from Heaven, as Annael described "he took down dictation when creation was being formed." Metatron received instructions to write down the Word of God. Metatron stated that, before he was chosen to be the Scribe, he lived a life of isolation and obscurity among his fellow angels. As such, he was overjoyed to be chosen above all others as God's scribe. When Oracle left, the archangels despaired, and soon after began conspiring to claim Creation as their own. This prompted Metatron to distance himself from Heaven, so as to protect the Word of God and to prevent the archangels from claiming the tablets. He even went as far as to unhesistantly fall, rebelling against the Archangels using the Words of God and fleeing. After an entire year of recovery from the wounds he suffered, Metatron finally managed to completely disappear to Earth and hid the Tablets and also left a personal note on the demon tablet. It mentions the angel taking leave of his master and letting humans take responsibility of the compendium of tablets. After all this, Metatron drew the ability to conceal himself from any Angel from the Tablet and went to exile.
Personality[]
For an angel, Metatron appears to be quite human-like, openly expressing emotions such as joy, admiration, disdain and sympathy. He does not show the arrogance or pettiness that other celestial beings do. He admires humans, due to their use of free will, and particularly enjoys their stories, seeing it as a great example of free will.
However, despite them being his family, Metatron dislikes most other angels, and was fearful and suspicious of them, particularly of the Archangels but excluding certain ones, like Oracle, Annael, etc. Metatron surprisingly appears benevolent and helps humans with his powers. However, he was suspicious when dealing with those he did not know. Metatron is also very logical and intelligent.
Ultimately, Metatron is a very brave, selfless, and kind Angel, as he is fully willing to sacrifice himself and even endure immense torture for the greater good, a motto that he strongly believes in. His wisdom includes seeing the full picture, something very few Angels had, as while the Archangels believed that the Words of God were rightfully theirs, Metatron knew better and he used the Words of God against the Archangels without hesitation to stun them long enough to escape Heaven. He fought with all he had to protect the Words and never gave up and his hard-work eventually paid off and his will allowed him to severely wound Sariel and Raphael and battle back and wound Michael and escape from the mightiest Archangel. Even after all that, Metatron remains unflinching in his desire to aid Creation. Even Oracle praised Metatron for not being subject to the flawed ways Heaven ran.

Under God's tutelage, Metatron grew to the height of his intelligence, allowing him to outsmart even Michael, although notably Michael had yet to achieve his height of wisdom, luring him and the Archangels into a trap and managing to elude the Angels for millenias. Even Oracle needed weeks to track him down.
