In Judaism he is the Angel of Death who collects the souls of the dead and acts as God's judicator: He deals out God's judgement on humans who have sinned and collects their souls as punishment. He is associated with the planet Mars. He is major Angel to be called upon in order to summon Angels in the Ars Paulina. He can also be summoned through a ritual in the Ars Paulina. He's known for being one of the only angels fond of blood pacts (if that's your thing). He has also been known to curse people who offend him or who summon him for petty reasons so please be careful if you are considering working with him.
2. Sariel (Suriel): The Prince of God. Sariel is one of the 7 major Archangels and is known for his many roles: he is the presiding prince of the Sun and has dominion over the Earth, he is an Angel of Forbidden/Secret Knowledge, he taught humanity the cycles of the moon and taught the Rabbi Ishmael Hygiene, he heals addictions and pets, he is the Angel of God's judgement, he is the prince of ministering Angels, he is an Angel of dreams and memories, he is an Angel of children and protects them from sinful and abusive parents, he is invoked for protection from evil spirits by Gnostics, and finally he is also an Angel of Death. As the Angel of God's Judgement, Sariel judges souls and determines which afterlife they go to. He is also set over spirits who sin in the Spirit, meaning he judges all spirits who sin.
3. Azrael: Whom God Helps. A benevolent Angel of Death from Judaism and Islam, he helps grieving people recover from their grief and helps souls move on to the next life. In Islam he has a book of life that contains the names of every person who has ever lived which he is constantly writing down and erasing as people die and are born. He is covered in eyes and tongues, each of which represents a person on earth. He is useful to invoke for necromancy.
4. Santa Muerte: A Mexican Folk Saint of Death who is believed by many to be the Angel of Death, she is venerated and invoked for protection, healing, health, love, wealth, and Defense Magic. She is also invoked for a safe passage into the afterlife. She can send curses back to their original casters in order to protect her followers. Santa Muerte does not like sharing an altar with any other spirit or saint, so make sure she has an altar to herself and your altar for other spirits is separate from hers. She also does not typically like being invoked in the same prayer with other deities but this may be up for speculation. Santa Muerte does not like it when someone leaves her, she has been known to put curses on those people, so if you decide to work with her, be sure that is something you want to do or at least talk to her first about your expectations.
5. Michael: Who is like God. Michael is archenemy of Satan and the commander of God's Army, in Catholicism he is regarded as the Angel of Death who is weighs the souls of the dead according to their deeds. It is also believed that he offers every soul of a person who died the chance of salvation.
