Four Great Seraphs

### Summary

Four remaining Celestial Princes who act as God's viceroys. They are leaders of the angels and rulers of Heaven while He's inactive.

**Four Great Seraphs**, also known as the **Four Great Princes** or the **Four Great Archangels**, are the quartet of Celestial Princes who took over as leaders of Heaven after God went inactive. They are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.

## Overview

A **seraph** ("the burning one"; plural **seraphim**) is a type of celestial or heavenly being originating in Ancient Judaism. The term plays a role in subsequent Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Tradition places seraphim in the highest rank in Christian angelology and in the fifth rank of ten in the Jewish angelic hierarchy. A seminal passage in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:1–8) used the term to describe six-winged beings that fly around the Throne of God crying "holy, holy, holy". This throne scene, with its triple invocation of holiness, profoundly influenced subsequent theology, literature and art.

Its influence is frequently seen in works depicting angels, heaven and apotheosis. Seraphim are mentioned as celestial beings in the non-canonical Book of Enoch and the canonical Book of Revelation.

## Summary

Four Great Seraphs are the quartet of Celestial Princes still affiliated with the Abrahamic Heaven, consisting of Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. They are the official leaders of Heaven while God is inactive, with their leader Michael being the King of Heaven and ruler of the angels.

While it is commonly fact that they did this after the Great War had ended and the rulers of Heaven back then, the Biblical God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, had either died or disappeared, the four of them being a group have been a thing since shortly after the Heavenly War as they had banded together to share their own feelings and regrets of Lucifer's banishment.

They have a large role to play in the end of the Antediluvian era and the death of the Nephilim. While their exact roles are unknown, according to the non-biblical canonical Book of Enoch: Uriel announced to Noah about the Deluge and instructed him how to built his Ark, Raphael was ordered by God to bind Azazel and throw him into darkness, Gabriel was to kill all the Nephilim by turning them against each other, while Michael was ordered to capture Shemhazai and all other watchers and throw them into the lake of fire.

As one of their first commands after taking over the Throne of God, they ordered the end of the Age of God and for the supernatural world to be separated from the human world. Ever since, they ruled Heaven from their palace on the Sixth Heaven among the high-ranked angels, and have the interactions between the angels and the mortal world remain on a pure minimal basis, entrusting the duty of protecting humanity from supernatural threats on the three Abrahamic factions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

In the late Edwardian era, they and the Grigori's Cadres met up to discuss about the future of their pantheon and both side came to a mutual agreement that peace must be held among the Three Factions of their mythology, even if that means having to make peace with the devils and the remaining demons who were their former enemies.

In 20XX, after a plan organized by leaders of the Three Factions, a peace treaty was made between the Four Great Seraphs, the Four Great Satans, and the Grigori's Cadres, opening up a new age of possibly permanent peace within the Abrahamic Pantheon.

## Emblem

Four Great Seraphs' emblem is that of a four-pointed star above a gold flower, which together formed the angelic rune meaning "Imperial". It is later revealed that the gold flower beneath was a former symbol of Lucifer back when he was still among God's most loyal angels.
