As seen on his epaulettes, Nicholas Angels service number is 777, often seen as the mark of God while 666 is seen as the number of the devil, heightening the good and just references surrounding the character (as if the name wasnt enough). Furthermore, the only person to call Angel by his service number is Timothy Daltons Simon Skinner, as a reference to Daltons past as James Bond in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill.
