There is Michael, the Archangel who led God's angels to put down the rebellion of Lucifer and cast him and his followers into hell (Revelation 12:7-8 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.)
There is also Raphael in the book of Tobias. Raphael was Tobias' guide and protector. (Tobias Chapter 5
Young Tobias seeking a guide for his journey, the angel Raphael, in shape of a man, undertaketh this office.
Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me. http://www.tldm.org/bible/Old%20Testament/tobias.htm)
Of course the Angel Gabriel, who announced to Mary she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:18 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and..."
Gabriel also appeared to Zachary (Zechariah), Elizabeth's husband as he served in the Temple (Luke 18:20 And Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years." And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.") See also Daniel 8 & 9 for more references to Gabriel.

The prefix “arch,” meaning “chief” or “principal,” implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, “archangel” is never found in the plural. First Thessalonians 4:16, in speaking of the preeminence of the archangel and the authority of his office, does so in reference to the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.” It is, therefore, not without significance that the only name directly associated with the word “archangel” is Michael. Jude 9

In later Christian tradition, however, there are three Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, usually Raphael, and sometimes Uriel is given as a fourth. Eastern Orthodox tradition mentions Seven Archangels. Uriel is included, and the other three are most often cited as Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel.

You'd have to go to a metaphysical bookstore and buy a book on Angels to answer that super loaded question accurately.
Try buying books by Doreen Virtue, PHd. She's written like a thousand books on Angels and Archangels.

There are only two archangels named in the bible: Michael and Gabriel. Michael is God's general for the army of angels. He kicks major demon butt. And Gabriel is the voice of God. He makes all the major announcements because if anything were to hear from God directly it would kill them.

Lucifer was an archangel, he grew prideful, sinned by wanting to be God and was cast from heaven. The rest is history.
