The Archangel Uriel is found almost exclusively in noncanonical lore.  The Catholics recognize him as St. Uriel.  Various sources identify him as, the angel who watches over thunder and terror, the dark angel who wrestled with Jacob at Peniel, the destroyer of the hosts of Sennacherib, the angel sent to Noah to reveal to him the impending flood.  It is said that he presides over the gates of Hell.  He is known as the archangel of salvation.  His name means “fire of God”.
