Only thing coming to mind right now is angels, demons, and Lilith, which was a specific demon, not a creature... Oh...and giants Nephilim are Judeo-Christian as well. Otherwise, hard to say but let me quickly jump to Encyclopdia Mythica and take a gander.

Well apparently there's Alitha -- a beast capable of extinguishing any fire. That's got a bit of promise to it.

I've also found "Chayyot" -- angelic beasts that pull the divine chariot and are made of fire, and breathe fire. (I find this one doubtful. :P)

Dibbuk -- the soul of a dead person inhabiting the body of a living person (which could explain his similarities with Camden Lahey).

Golems are Judeo-Christian creatures, but I can't think of any evidence supporting that theory at all.

Mazikeen are shape-shifting, elfin creatures that I'm 98% sure Parrish isn't.

Interestingly, ravens (which we've already theorized about) are beares of bad omens -- like death -- in Judeo-Christian myths.

Ravens are really seeming more an more likely. They're cross cultural, with a wide array of possible mythologies to work with, has a connection to death (which explains how close he seems with Lydia,) fits the name test as far as the Judeo/Christian aspect goes. It doesn't really fit the 'river of judgment' I found, though they are associated with water, and real ravens apparently have great congregations, and pass judgment on their peers and kill one or two at these congregations...so it's really not much of a stretch mixing mythology and real life actions...
