The Legion of Cherub Hostile; a host of angels intended to purify Creation by destroying humanity.
An Angel is a winged warrior created by God. Throughout history, angels have acted as agents of fate; guardians of those deemed worthy by God and destroyers of those He deemed wicked. While immortal and powerful, angels are neither infallible nor omniscient; they can be deceived.
Within Heaven's monarchy, there are believed to be several ranks of angel; among the higher echelon being the seraphim and the archangels. Lucifer, also called the Devil or Satan, is believed to be either a seraph or an archangel. Michael and Gabriel are also named as archangels.
