Sammael

"Samael is an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic lore; a figure who is the accuser or adversary (Satan in the Book of Job), seducer, and destroying angel (in the Book of Exodus). Although many of his functions resemble the Christian notion of Satan, to the point of being sometimes identified as a fallen angel, he is not necessarily evil, since his functions are also regarded as resulting in good, such as destroying sinners." [Samael, Wikipedia]

Phillips Keith identified Sammael as a synonym for Satan, the archetype of evil. [RB Hell (online text)]
