Sandalphon

Sandalphon, the angel of Electromagnetic Wave-Particles and fastest angel in Heaven, is a servitor of Shekinah who joinedher service when Lucifer Fell. Not long thereafter, the archangel of the Divine Presence lent Sandalphon indefinitely to Jean. She is one of the last (if not the last) angel of Heaven to use the ofan of Light Attunement which allows near instantaneous transit along line of sight. She is greatly distrusted by Dominic, who has a whole network in place to track her movements (since no one angel could keep up with her).
She is incredibly powerful and could make a case for elevation to archangel. However, that does not interest her ~ and neither does research (which is why she has never been promoted past Friend, though she holds the higher distinction of Herald in Shekinah's service and served the Metatron as such before the Fall despite being an angel of Light). Instead, she prefers to confront the forces of Hell directly, racing from conflict to conflict ~ shedding light on infernal illusions and doing as much corporeal damage to the servitors of Hell as possible.
Sandalphon might appear in response to a mid-combat Divine Intervention, but she is unlikely to stick around much after the fight. If you really want to have fun with the party, then she arrives completely without warning, and departs in two directions at once (one towards her previous intervention and one towards her next).
Sandalphon has the ofan attunements for the Word, Divine Presence, Protection, and possibly Fire, Lightning, Purity, and Destiny as well.
The Herald of Shekinah is present in some form or other whenever a new tether is established (which includes every battle that has created a tether to Michael).
== Outrunning Fate ==
Sandalphon has drawn the dark attentions of Kronos.
She has the potential to transcend the normal laws of time and space. Aside from the tactical advantages of such a pawn, the potential to research his own origins would be a prize well worth the time and effort it would tack to capture such illusive game. Even more tantalizingly, Sandalphon has a Fate that would spell great upheaval. Possibly even on the order of a new Celestial Rebellion. Unfortunately, even Kronos cannot get the details, but that just serves to confirm that at least one of the ineffable beings would be significantly impacted by her Fall.
