Legion Mortis

"Death comes quickly for you!"
Legion Mortis are the Angels of Death who bring demise to the enemies of Heaven. While not the most characteristic Legion of Celestials, Legion Mortis has a reputation for dark demeanor, somber pragmatism and a reliance on Death to bring down their enemies. 
Archangel: Azrael.
Colours: Black, Grey, Bone White. 
Heraldry: The Skull Face is the symbol of Legion Mortis. 
== Facts: ==
-Legion Mortis are masters of Stealth warfare, appearing suddenly and assassinating key targets before disappearing again. They move and fight in total, unsettling silence, and their deadly strikes are carried out with lightning quickness.
-Legion Mortis often keep the bones of particularly powerful enemies, fashioning them into equipment, weapons, sometimes even armor. 
-Legion Mortis is perpetually followed by spectral spirits of death and decay which take the form of jet-black Ravens. Wherever the Legion moves en masse, a flock of these Ravens will be following them. 
-Naturally, Legion Mortis is highly resistant to Necromantic Magick and will be well versed in that school of Magick themselves. 
-An elite corps within the Legion, known as Spectres, do not train in the ways of the warrior but instead master the arcane arts of Necromancy. 
-All members of Legion Mortis have a slight resistance to supernatural detection. Supernatural methods (such as Magick, psychic powers, etc.) will frequently fail to detect the passage of a Mortis Angel. 
-Legion Mortis frequently attracts the attention and loyalty of Reapers, the spirit servants of Death. These Reapers will serve in the ranks of the Legion as skirmishers, going ahead of the Legion to bypass enemy defenses and sow confusion as they flit about taking lives. 
-Legion Mortis has direct access to the Infinite Cemetery. They are believed to house a massive HQ there dubbed the Sepulchral Citadel. This Citadel houses all of the major generals and field leaders of the Legion and it is here that they converse with their Archangel commander. 
-You really can't hang around Death without waxing philosophical at some point. When face with loss and the ensuing sense of teleology, it is only natural that a group like Legion Mortis would have a reputation for wisdom and hindsight. 
== Methodology: ==
Legion Mortis are truly the Angels of Death, using their powers of stealth and incorporeal allies to bypass enemy detection or defenses and strike with deadly impunity. Whether its running raids, lightning attacks, assassinations or facing the enemy head on, Legion Mortis makes considerable use of its powers over Death to strike at the very lifeblood of their foes.
