Arkat might be a better choice as he clearly fell. So could Lodril although he's a god not an angel.

A Dara Happan Angel might work but they use spears or bows rather than swords. We simply don't know enough about other mythologies (Malkioni, Fonritan etc).

I'm sure Dara Happan angels are humanlike.

I'm not going to criticize Simon here using the official glorantha sources. That way lies flamewars. Use them if you think they are great and don't worry about attempting to conform to officiality. There's so many things in glorantha that its pointless waiting for Greg to make a decision on some minor topic or another.
