Enochian angels are entities as expressed in the enochian system of ritual magic, introduced by John Dee and Edward Kelley in the 16th century.

hierarchy of angels: Encyclopedia - Archdemon

In Biblical tradition, an archdemon is a spiritual entity, prominent in the infernal hierarchy. Essentially, an archdemon is the counterpart of an archangel. Archdemons are described as the leaders of demonic hosts, just as archangels lead choirs of angels.
