Samael was a Real Life Superhero from the Midwest Region of the United States. He has publicly retired[1].
History
After watching the "Superheroes" HBO Documentary, Samael began contacting RLSH groups across the country. He had little success at first, until he made a breakthrough with Mr. Xtreme of the Xtreme Justice League, who was kind enough to give him guidance.
He primarily worked solo, though he did team up with The Challengers and Geist on occasion. His first patrol was with Geist and Electron of The Challengers La Crosse Branch.
He had attended the University of Iowa for his undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering.
Samael was a participant in Chicago HOPE 2018. Shortly after, on April 10, 2018, he was offered full membership in P.A.T.C.H. by Crusader Prime[2]. It is not known if he officially accepted this offer before retiring his Samael persona later that month.
On April 20, 2018 Samael indicated that he had retired the Samael persona, and as an RLSH.[3].
Trivia
According to Samael, his name was taken from the archangel of Jewish, Talmudic, and Christian Lore. Views on Samael in religious lore vary, but he is always an archangel of death that is viewed neither black/white, good or evil, or both, depending on the circumstances. Samael reflected this in his outfit via his red/blue skull mask.
