Brave Saints

**Affiliations** | Heaven
Three Factions
 **Members** | Brave Saint (Mostly)

The **Brave Saints** also known as the **Royal Users**, are a set of 13 cards used by the Angels to increase their ranks by reincarnating other beings into Angels. The Brave Saints are based on the Evil Pieces system of the Devils, albeit being based on a suit of playing cards rather than chess.

## Summary

The Brave Saint system was created after the peace treaty between the Three Factions by copying the Devil's Evil Pieces system and the Fallen Angel's Artificial Sacred Gears technology. This was so that the Angels could increase their numbers since they could no longer depend on God to create new Angels. The Brave Saints, however, are currently only limited to the Seraphs.

The Brave Saints system, which the Heavens created by imitating the concept of the Evil Pieces, is the set of 13 cards which each of the Seraph and high-level Angels have in order to reincarnate other beings into Angels (high-level Angels choose the "suit" of their liking. Though the ones with a fixed "suit" are Michael with Spade ♠, Gabriel with Heart ♥, Raphael with Club ♣, Uriel with Diamond ♦). Most of the reincarnated Angels are former humans. Unlike Devils who base their choice on strength alone regardless of the species, the Heavens choose and reincarnate talented humans who are strong followers and have a "pure heart".

So far, only 10 Seraphs are permitted to use the Brave Saints according to Irina; however, Michael hopes to expand the system to include high-level Angels as well.

## Variations

**Joker**

The Joker Card is a special type of card whose function is similar to that of the Mutation Pieces. A Joker does not belong to any of the 4 types of cards. Aside from the main Joker, Dulio, there is another Joker (commonly referred as the Extra Joker), but the status and information on the Extra Joker is currently unknown.
In addition to the Joker and Extra Joker, there are other Reincarnated Angel with silver wings that serve as Extra Joker candidates. Silver-winged Angels were candidates for the [Extra Joker] position that existed among Reincarnated Angels. There were a number of people who could utilize the [Joker] in the Angels’ [Trump Card] prepared in order to act as a substitute. The [Extra Joker] in the Angels’ [Trump Card] system was used when a [Joker] couldn’t be utilized or when a substitute of the [Joker] was needed to be on the move. It was a feature based on the item used to reincarnate someone into a reincarnated Angel, [Trump]’s Extra Joker (Joker’s semi card).

**Known Jokers**

* Dulio Gesualdo
* Lint Sellzen (Extra Joker candidate)
