Sammael
Sammael appears in the Ascension of Isaiah as an evil angel who serves Manasseh and executes all his desire. He becomes a follower of Beliar, and after Hezekiah dies Sammael abides in Manasseh and clings fast to him. The counsel of Sammael against Manasseh is consummated, as Isaiah declares.
Beliar is in great wrath against Isaiah by reason of the exposure of Sammael and the vision that made known the going forth of the Beloved from the seventh heaven, with His transformation, descent, and persecution. Sammael is very wrathful against Isaiah from the days of Hezekiah on account of the things seen regarding the Beloved. Beliar acts against Isaiah through Balchira and Manasseh.
