A member of the race known has the [[Weeping Angels]], it is the first example of a fully powered and healthy Angel (The angels from ''[[Blink]]'' being revealed to be weak scavengers). The Angel possesses all the traditional characteristics of its race has well as additional abilities that include voice projection and the power to make projections of its self and other powers. It is responsible for the crash of the Byzantium; this was part of a rescue mission to aid a starving colony of Angels.
'''Angel Bob''' was a name [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] gave to the [[Weeping Angel]] that was within the vault of the ''[[Byzantium (ship)|Byzantium]]''. Called 'Angel Bob' because it spoke using [[Bob (The Time of Angels)|Bob]]'s central nervous system. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Time of Angels]]'')

A four second recording of the Angel was played on a monitor inside a surveillance chamber that was put inside the Aplan Temple. River Song showed the Doctor, Amy and Father [[Octavian]] four seconds of the footage. Amy stayed inside the surveillance chamber whilst the Doctor and River went outside to look at some research and Octavian left to prepare the detonation to get into the Maze of the Dead.
The Angel was able to project itself through a 4 second looped recording shown by River Song to the Doctor, [[Amy Pond]], and Father [[Octavian]].  
 
Amy Pond, alone with the angel and through observing (and not observing) the Angel noticed that it was able to move from within the recording, and was able to stretch its influence beyond the image; deadlocking the doors of the pod, trapping Amy within. The Angel was able to project itself beyond the image and was able to become a projection in the room, however Amy was able to exploit an glitch in the recording allowing her to turn off the projection of the image when it was close to making contact with her. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Time of Angels]]'')


Alone in the monitoring room Amy noticed the Angel had lifted its head and was now looking at her, when she looked again it was now in the centre of the cell staring at her. While she was distracted by this she didn't notice the Angel seal the doors trapping her. Looking again the angel was now right in the camera face and then snarling. Amy was sealed inside and the door deadlocked. The Angel on screen began to move, even though it was only a recording. Meanwhile, the Doctor and River discovered that an image of an Angel will eventually become one. The Angel on screen inside the chamber began to come out the screen. The Angel was stopped by Amy turning the monitor off at the end of the four second loop.

It later used Cleric Bob's voice as a mouthpiece to communicate with the Doctor, trying to anger him by claiming the Doctor's encouragement to Bob was in vain, and how it enjoyed killing him. The Angel then said it was coming to get the Doctor, Amy, River, Octavian and the remaining Clerics.

The Angel tells the Doctor they are making Amy count down to her death to scare her and for their own amusement which seriously angers the Doctor.

The Angel also seems to enjoy hunting and toying with its victims; rather than kill them in one go it preferred to take them one by one using the shadows to terrify its victims before coming in for the kill.
