Dex: 7 Str: 12* Body: 6Int: 7 Will: 7 Mind: 7
Infl: 6 Aura: 8 Spirit: 8
Initiative: 20 Hero Points: 45
Powers: *Mystic Link
Omni-Power: 12*
Truesight: 8*
Skills:
Occultist: 6
Bonus: Strength is mystical and unaffected by gravity attacks.
Limitations: Omni-Power represents his ability to intercede with "a higher power" so that he "lends" his powers to him. Before summoning a Power or Skill, he makes a Persuasion attempt using his Infl/Aura against the OV/RF of 7/7. If successful, Seraph then pays the Hero Points for the ability and uses the Power normally.
Advantages: Area Knowledge (Israel); Connections: Global Guardians (High), YHWH (High); Iron Nerves; Popularity (in Israel); Leadership; Scholar (history, Judaism)
Drawbacks: Seriously Irrationally Hated by Muslims; Loss Vulnerability: Like Samson, Strength falls to 4 if his hair is cut. If Seraph abuses his powers he must also lose his Strength and powers, and his artifacts become useless until he can redeem himself, as on the day of Yom Kippur.
Alter Ego: Chaim Levon
Motivation: Upholding the Good
Occupation: Professor
Wealth: 6
Equipment: *Mystic Linked
SOLOMON'S RING [Body 7, Spirit 10, Recall: 10*, Comprehend Languages: 10*, Teleportation: 16*, Omni-Scholar] Bonus: Recall allows access to Solomon's Wisdom, allowing Seraph to remember facts unknown to him (GM's description).
Moses Staff [Body: 13, Spirit: 10, Mystic Blast: 10, Shape Change: 8*, Earth Control: 7*, Stretching: 3*, Water Control: 13*, Reflection/Deflection: 13*] Limitations: Stretching and Shape Change powers only apply to the staff itself, and Shape Change only allows the staff to assume the shape of a snake. Earth Control represents Seraph's ability to create earthquakes with the staff.

Ed's Notes: This was the one member of the Global Guardians the was not statted out. And if that was intentional, I can see why. Because... Wow. This guy ends up being pretty controversial. Aside from saturated with Religious references...
1) He has a High Connection with YHWH. Aka Yahweh. Aka GOD. (Yes, THE God.)
2) He is so strongly tied to the State of Israel that he is HATED throughout the Muslim World.
So in addition to some pretty heavy handed religious references, he apparently carries a lot of Political baggage as well. Which could be a challenge as a member of the Global Guardians. And this really has only gotten worse (more controversial) over time. I feel like he'd be represented as a bit of a Zionist Anti-Hero if he were brought back today.
