I wanna talk about Sandalphon. Sandalphon creeps the fuck out of me.
I’ve seen a lot of people making Uriel out to be the violent angel, since they’re the
one who gets in Aziraphale’s face when the angels corner him. But Sandalphon is the one who punches him in the gut.
And from the very outset, he creeps the fuck out of Aziraphale, too. Aziraphale can fake that angelic smile for the other angels. That disappears every time he’s face to face with Sandalphon, and Sandalphon doesn’t so much smile as bare his teeth.
Aziraphale says he met him at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, where he nervously explains that Sandalphon “did a lot of smiting and turning people into salt. Hard to forget.”
The guy seems to be a fan of war. The only real opinion he expresses in the whole show is that it’s “about time” for War to show up.
And although Sandalphon knows a lot more about Earth things than Gabriel, it’s incredibly obvious that he’s never really spoken to humans or even listened much to them.
So here’s my guess: Sandalphon mostly comes down to Earth to smite people. And he would be perfectly happy to smite other beings, too, if Gabriel said the word.
And Aziraphale knows this.
