Enochian View
The Enochian system of 16th Century occultist Dr. John Dee offers a concept similar to Crowley's later views with regard to the Holy Guardian Angel.
In this dialog between Dee and the angel Jubanladace on p. 18, Cotton Appendix XLVI 1, the angel provides this perspective:
Dee: If I should not offend you, I would gladly know of what order you are or how your state is in respect of Michael, Gabriel, Raphael or Uriel.
Jubanladace: Unto men, according unto their deserts, and the first excellency of their soul, God hath appointed a good Governor or Angel, from among the orders of those that are blessed. For every soul that is good, is not of one and the self same dignification. Therefore according to his excellency we are appointed as Ministers from that order, whereunto his excellency accordeth: to the intent that he may be brought, at last, to supply those places which were glorified by a former: and also to the intent, that the Prince of darkness might be counterposed in God's justice.
