You prompted me to look it up.  He spoke to Azrael, who also controlled time
(from whence came my allusion to Chronos).  I'm not sure whether that made
him an archangel or not.  But PTerry described him as "Azrael, the Great
Attractor, the Death of Universes, the beginning and end of time." (Pg 264
Corgi Edition)  So I doubt he was refering to an archangel.
