<p>One of the interest plot constructs in the <em>Priest</em> (manhwa) series by <code>Hyung Min-woo</code> is the antagonist <a href="http://priest.wikia.com/wiki/Temozarela" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Temozarela</a>.</p>

<p>He is summarized as:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Temozarela is an arch-angel who fought on God's side in the war
  against Lucifer. However, this war caused God to lose faith in the
  angels and prefer humanity instead.</p>
  
  <p>Temozarela, bitter at this, took twelve angels to Earth to prove to
  God how flawed humans are. He set up a cult for the fallen angels
  which involved human sacrifice. However, this only made God angry and
  caused Temozarela to be banished to earth and imprisoned there.</p>
</blockquote>

Left to Right: Temozarela as angel, human, and crippled human</p>

<p>Obviously there's some similarities to the whole angels parts of the <em>Preacher</em> comics, or various other fictional works, but all the similar ideas I found were still substantially different from <code>Temozarela</code>.</p>

<p>I did some Google searching as I was curious whether this character (<code>Temozarela</code>) was a wholly new creation of the author. I could find no prior source material, not under that name at least.</p>

<p>Does prior fictional or religious source material for <code>Temozarela</code> exist under the same name or alternate names?</p>

Did Hyung Min-woo Invent Temozarela, the Antagonist of the "Priest" Manhwa?

Obviously there's some similarities to the whole angels parts of the *Preacher* comics, or various other fictional works, but all the similar ideas I found were still substantially different from `Temozarela`.

I did some Google searching as I was curious whether this character (`Temozarela`) was a wholly new creation of the author. I could find no prior source material, not under that name at least.

Does prior fictional or religious source material for `Temozarela` exist under the same name or alternate names?
