==Samyaza==
In the [[Book of Enoch]], Samyaza is portrayed as the leader of a band of angels called the [[Watchers]] that are consumed with lust for mortal women and become [[fallen angel]]s.<blockquote>And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: "I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin." And they all answered him and said: "Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing." Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. ([[wikisource:Book of Enoch/Chapter 06|Enoch 6]]:3-5)</blockquote>A full listing of the leaders of the group can be found on the [[1 Enoch]] page. Semjâzâ convinced several other Grigori to join him in fornicating with women. As a result, he and the other sinful Grigori begot giant offspring (called [[Nephilim]] in Genesis) that dominated and feasted upon humans during the days of Enoch. The Watchers' other sin was to teach humans various creative arts — especially [[Azazael]]'s, who taught the secrets of war, which brought down the wrath of God.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samyaza Samyaza]</ref>
