"Armaros"
Armaros is one of the fallen angels mentioned in apocryphal texts, particularly in the Book of Enoch, which is not considered canonical by most Jewish and Christian traditions. The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish text attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, and it provides a detailed account of the fall of a group of angels known as the Watchers.
Armaros is named among these Watchers, who are said to have descended to Earth to take human wives and teach humanity various forbidden arts and knowledge. The actions of the Watchers led to the corruption of mankind, prompting the Great Flood as a divine judgment to cleanse the Earth.
In the Book of Enoch, Armaros is specifically mentioned in Chapter 6, which lists the names of the leaders of the two hundred angels who descended upon Mount Hermon. However, there is not much detailed information about Armaros individually within the text. His name is sometimes associated with the teaching of the "resolving of enchantments," or the undoing of spells, according to the lore.
The Book of Enoch describes the severe punishment that God inflicts upon the Watchers for their transgressions. They are bound and cast into the abyss, and their offspring, known as the Nephilim, are also destroyed in the Flood.
It's important to note that the Book of Enoch is not part of the biblical canon for most Jewish and Christian denominations, though it is recognized by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. As such, the stories of Armaros and the other Watchers are often considered more mythological or legendary rather than doctrinal.
Outside of the Book of Enoch, Armaros is not a widely known figure, and there is limited additional lore about him. His story and the stories of the other Watchers have inspired various works of fiction and popular culture, where they are often depicted with creative liberties that diverge from the original apocryphal texts.
