New Ideas About Doom Lore
*SPOILER ALERTS! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE CAMPAIGN!*

Hey guys, so after some research I've come up with some pretty interesting conclusions about the DOOM SLAYER!

Is Doom Guy An Archangel?
This was a question I thought of when I saw the Knight Sentinels. As we know, there are 5 Knight Sentinels depicted in the game. Evidence from doom lore suggests that he was their leader. Perhaps his son that died and was resurrected as the icon of sin was one of them as well? This would make 7 Sentinels which is the same amount of archangels that most Christians agree exist. Furthermore, the Bible also mentions that the archangel Michael (who only says one line in the Bible, a trait of doom guy) waged war on satan and hell.

Is this new Doom actually a sequel?
Doom lore has suggested that the Doom Slayer can travel through space and time (also a characteristic of godly beings like archangels). This might explain the reason that the Doom Slayer is able to understand human writing and human weapons. My theory is that he was somehow transported to Argent D'Nur after Doom 2 and was appointed as the leader of their realm (By God himself, maybe?). This brings me to my next topic.

Argent D'Nur Could Be One of the Seven Realms of Heaven
If you've made it all the way through to here I think this is more self explanitory, but many historical writings often refer to heaven or the heavens as the "Seven Heavens". This implies that heaven is made up of 7 realms or areas, Argent D'Nur possibly being one of them.

Does the Doom Marine Have Compassion for Olivia Pearce?
Despite the Doom Marine's RIP AND TEAR attitude throughout the game, we can see compassion in him in many parts of them. Such as when he decides to save VEGA and in the beginning when his rage is fueled by the suffering of the dead UAC personel seen in the elevator, but perhaps this compassion extends to Olivia, as well? If you are very familar in the game you should be aware that the Doom Slayer is a super human killing-machine, but when given the chance, he doesn't kill Olivia right away. He might have had the chance to kill her when she opened the shutters exposing the glass between him and her, but he simply stood and watched her, not even attempting to break the glass or shoot at her. Before the end of the game there is also another chance doom guy gets to see Olivia when she is about to open the portal to hell, but he just stands there frozen. I believe this is because he sees himself in her, someone who was manipulated by the dark arts of hell. Furthermore, I believe his hatred of Samuel Hayden is also representative of the hatred he felt for hell's manipulation of him to exploit Argent D'Nur's argent energy.

Well, A) an archangel could rip apart planet Earth by blinking... hmm, I guess I don't have a B.

Honestly, it's pretty great that you are thinking through all of this - more than most people would do. However, if you were certain of your findings you wouldn't have headers with question marks, so I figure you are just trying these ideas on for size.

Christian doctrine is a poor fit for DOOM lore. For one thing, the Christians are far, far more retentive of their semiotics than the DOOM art dept. They've had a lot more experience! You can literally get lost in all of the minute details of the symbols and rites used in Christianity without ever gaining a single dot of faith. Conversely, you could have an Everest of faith in your heart without knowing the difference between an archangel and a putto.

I don't think he is arch angel, if he was already arch angel he didn't need to bless by seraphim. Also there are already codexs are exist that doom slayer is one of the final night sentinels, not the human or demons. Also fans are guessing he is the betrayer of the night sentinel that who wanted his son's soul back so let demon know where wraiths are location.
