Jonathan Axel is an important man in San Fransisco, giving off an aura of power and authority. He is a prominent banker in the community, well-known and respected enough that most people in a crowd of strangers recognize who he is. Like Michael, he is a man of God, who is obedient to even the strangest command, and it is his obedience that saves Angel, Cherry and Faith from the clutches of Duke, and his confidence that causes Duke's ultimate downfall. He is also a loving husband and father, in addition to being very trusting and generous.
