Angel
Angels are badass. They are always appearing to cause trouble and no one knows why. Angels don't have to be emissaries of God. They are alternatively represented as Half-bird/half-human things or occasionally as thinly-disguised demons.

Overall, an Angel makes an interesting enemy for your campaign as diplomacy with them is very different. He would probably come from an angle of "purifying" the land of "evil" and so your characters would need to employ unique tactics to reason with him/her.
Additionally, this allows you to explore themes like religion, ethics and the afterlife.
