Hubbard mentioned the Archangel Michael a number of times in Scientology material. From a 1956 lecture:

From The Book of Case Remedies:
During this past summer, when I had completed the Routine 6 (pc’s own goals) research, I was able to review all the levels and stages a pc or an auditor (a Scientology practitioner) has to go through.
One of the oldest whole track gags was to take somebody, knock him out, and tell him he had to go over to some other place and do something or other that would louse up the enemy in some fashion. And the fellow does it, by the way. I mean, he'll go ahead and be a piece in a game to this degree.
Well, a few thousand years later he's not in any particular big game. He's completely lost from this old game and he runs short of games, so he goes around telling people that he has a mission. See, he dreamed it up, and the Archangel Mike or somebody is sitting two feet back of his right shoulder sending him telepathic or teletype messages, and he has a mission.
Well, you want to look at this with some askance, because the truth of the matter is that I happen to know Mike, and he's not careless with who he picks out. And he doesn't pick out guys that blab, you see? If anybody was executing a mission for the Archangel Mike, you can make a very sound investment in a bet that he wouldn't know anything about it at all. Otherwise he wouldn't be a piece.
Now, therefore, when people begin to suspect that they're being used in games of one character or another, the usual thing that one suspects in return is that they have lost their last game and they're dragging an old one into view.
Funny thing how a thetan can actually play a game and not play a game at the same time, how he can play a game that he doesn't know anything about, how he can be multivalenced on this whole subject. It's quite amazing.

From The Book of Case Remedies:
CHAPTER 1
THE TRADITION OF SCIENTOLOGY
Once upon a time preclears were full of mysteries and unknowns. Once, to resolve a case, it was necessary to have a crystal ball, a clean record with the Archangel Michael and a lot of luck.
Fourteen active years and tens of thousands of pc’s (preclears) have changed all that.
During this past summer, when I had completed the Routine 6 (pc’s own goals) research, I was able to review all the levels and stages a pc or an auditor (a Scientology practitioner) has to go through.
What emerged, in getting this material into understandable form, was that people had, in general, confused Clearing and Operating Thetans (OTs).
