The answer to that definition is pretty much Bayonetta, as it's the only (Video) game I'm aware of that even attempts to emulate the bizarre, acid trippy angels of the Bible.

As I recall, only one angel is spot on with your given defintion, though quite a few are close, and many draw influences from it.


Resplendence

Yeah, Bayonetta does a really damn good job of portraying the sheer craziness of the Hierarchy of the Laguna.

But just a teensy itty bitty nitpick, the Resplendence is classified as a Throne, rather than a Seraphim, which are both First Sphere angels. The First Sphere is the most powerful of the three Spheres (Only being outclassed by the Auditio and Dea), Joy [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Joy], Gracious and Glorious [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Gracious_and_Glorious], and Glamor [http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Glamor] are the only ones classified as Seraphim, but don't actually carry the signature "Six-winged angel" look. Although I suppose Glamor could fit with the "Six-winged snake" thing it has going on.

I was just going by the physical description given, not the in game name. Resplendence is the only angel I can remember that is completely limbless, and has 6 wings.

Glamor is supposedly based primarily off of the six winged, limbless seraph, but it does have limbs.
