One of the mythic paradigms I have always particularly loved is the "fallen angel" thing - which is why I love the Hjortsberg novel of the same name, and the character of Lucifer in DC comics, and Milton, and Elizabeth Knox's The Vintner's Luck and just about any example where the archetype turns up.
And yes, Angel in that light is most interesting. Angry and wounded. That makes him interesting.
I'm not quite sold on the 'curse' background and I'm not sure why.
