Akobel was the Seraphim of the Sixth Choir. He was sent to watch humanity and he was the angel who married Lily Sunder.
History
Akobel was sent to observe humanity and became fascinated by them. At some point, Akobel met Lily Sunder and married her. Akobel helped to raise Lily's daughter May and protect them from Ishim following their marriage.
Learning of Akobel's relationship with Lily, Ishim, who was obsessed with Lily, decides to murder Akobel and May in revenge. To this end, Ishim claims to his flight that May is Akobel's daughter and a Nephilim, meaning that both would need to be killed. Accompanied by his flight, including Benjamin, Mirabel and Castiel, Ishim confronts Akobel at his home in Orono, Maine. When the angels arrive, Akobel orders Lily to take May and run, knowing why Ishim is there. Ishim berates Akobel for his love of humanity, but Akobel points out that Ishim is being hypocritical and explains why he loves humans. Akobel draws an angel blade and moves to attack Ishim, but is blocked by Mirabel. Castiel then reads out Akobel's "crime" of fathering a Nephilim and Ishim chokes Akobel to keep him from revealing the truth. After Castiel proclaims a death sentence for Akobel, Mirabel kills him with an angel blade. Ishim then confronts Lily for "betraying" him with Akobel and murders May in revenge.
Using Enochian magic, Lily is able to prolong her life and seeks revenge for the murders of Akobel and May. After the Fall of the Angels, Lily seizes her chance and kills two of Ishim's flight. In 2017, she hunts down the remaining four members, killing Benjamin and Mirabel. After learning the truth about Akobel's murder, hunters Sam and Dean Winchester help Lily fight Ishim who is eventually killed by Castiel. Afterwards, Lily is unsure if she will give up on getting revenge for Akobel and May's deaths as it's all she's had for over a hundred years. Castiel apologizes for his role in Akobel and May's murders, offering that if Lily still wants revenge in the future, she can take it.
