Angel of death

This unnamed **angel of death**, also called the **killer angel**, was an angel that God ordered to kill all firstborns of the Egyptians during the tenth plague. As a result of the murders, the angel lost his mind and is now kept imprisoned in a place in Paradise. The angel was assisted by a devil, who took care of the firstborn of the Egyptians' cattle.

## Physical appearance

The angel of death is old. Wrinkles bunch together over his face, and he has a ragged full beard that hangs down to his chest. In spite of his old age, he is big and muscular. The two swan wings growing out of his shoulder blades are gray with age. His skin is white. His eyes have a wild expression which testifies to the damage his psyche have endured as a result of carrying out the immensely horrible task God assigned him in Egypt.

At times, the angel of death may crouch like an animal ready to pounce, heaving with every breath, making it sound as if he is growling. At other times he may have an insane smile, even crying simultaneously sometimes.

## Background

In the Book of Exodus 12:23 of the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, the angel of death is mentioned as being an entity that God would send through Egypt to enter the homes of the Egyptians and take lives of the different Egyptian families' firstborns. God had told Moses that if the Hebrews took the blood of a lamb and smeared it on their door, the angel of death would see this as a sign and not enter that home, essentially passing over the home, which is why the Hebrew holiday is called "the Passover." There is some confusion as to whether this "angel of death" or "destroying angel" was truly the one to pass through Egypt and take the lives, or if God did it himself, but the mentioning of the entity existing is enough justification that this is the way it was intended.

Staff of Moses

Moses (formerly)
God (formerly)

Israel or land of Canaan (formerly)
Egypt (formerly)
Midian (formerly)

The **staff of Moses** (Hebrew: מַטֶּה‎ *matteh*) was given by God to Moses. With it, Moses could perform the miracles of God, such as when he turned the waters in Egypt to blood or parted the Red Sea. When Moses died, his staff awaited him in Paradise, however he hid it away in his shed, not wanting to be reminded by all the deaths he helped cause with it, and because he despised God. Later, it was stolen, presumably by Aziel Stofeles disguising himself with a transformation, although to what purpose is unknown.

## Background

According to the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, the staff was with Moses during important events in history, and was used to bring about several of the ten plagues of Egypt, it transformed into a snake, conjured a spring of water from a rock and parted the Red Sea so that the Hebrews could cross safely to Israel.

In the text it is also mentioned in several places that Moses' brother, Aaron, wielded a staff (called *the staff of Aaron*) which he did wonders with. Whether the staff of Moses was the same as the one used by his brother, Aaron, has been long debated by Rabbinic scholars.

Great Strike

The **Great Strike** (Danish: *Den Store Strejke*) was a strike begun by the condemned in Hell, in which they had stopped working because they believed they were treated unfairly. This was the first and last strike that had ever happened in Hell, and it lasted only twenty seconds, as it took this time for the main perpetrators of the strike to be flayed alive and have their bleeding bodies rolled in salt. After this, the other condemned could not get working fast enough out of fear.

Lucifer's great-grandmother

**Lucifer's great-grandmother** is a former angel, now an ancient female devil the great-grandmother of Lucifer. She followed her great-grandson in his rebellion and war against God along with Samuel, her wife and Lucifer's great-grandfather. The two were the only members of Lucifer's angel family who joined him, his own parents and their grandchildren choosing to fight for God instead, and when Lucifer's army was defeated, both of them were cast down with the other angels to end up as devils in their great-grandson's Hell. Today, Lucifer's great-grandmother lives in Lucifer's castle, possibly alongside Samuel. She is one of the oldest devils in existence.

## Physical apperance

As an angel, Lucifer's great-grandmother would have had a pair of large white swan wings growing from her shoulder blades that allowed her to fly. Her blood as an angel would have been red.

As a devil, today Lucifer's great-grandmother has a pair of horns of a frightful size, her eyes sit so deep in their sockes that they look like pitch-dark hollows, her face is gaunt and wrinkled like that of a mummy, and drained of color, and her mouth is filled with long, needle-sharp teeth.

Also, as a devil her wings would have become either bat wings if she is a tempter, large leathery wings if she is a gragorn or raven wings if she is a vargar, her eyes would be dark or black if she is a tempter, yellow if she is a gragorn or icy-white if she is a vargar, and she would have grown a tail that would be pointed if she is a tempter, a rat's tail if she is a gragorn or a snake's tail if she is a vargar.

Job

**Job** (/dʒoʊb/ JOHB or JOAB; Hebrew: אִיּוֹב – ʾIyyōḇ; Greek: Ἰώβ – Iṓb) is the central figure of the Old Testament Book of Job and the Hebrew Bible book of the same name. In rabbinical literature, Job is referred to as one of the p rophets of the Gentiles. In Islam, Job (Arabic: أيّوب‎, romanized: Ayyūb) is also considered a prophet.

Job is presented as a good and prosperous family man who is beset with horrendous disasters by Satan, following Satan tempting God to make a bet with him on Job's loyalty to God. God vows for Job's righteousness and gives Satan power over everything in Job's live. The disasters brought upon Job by Satan take away all that the man holds dear, including his offspring, his health, and his property. He struggles to understand his situation and begins to seek answers to his difficulties. In the end, incited by his wife and friends, Job curses God and calls upon him, demanding that he take responsibility for what he has wrought upon Job. God shows himself before Job, and tells him that since Job would never be able to comprehend the workings of the universe, he cannot judge whether God acts justly or not. Job admits that he has spoken of something he does not understand and he regret his words. Then God restores Job to an even better condition than before, blessing him with seven sons, and three daughters, said to be the most beautiful women in the land.

## Historie

### According to the Bible

Job bliver præsenteret som en god og velstående familiemand, der bliver ramt af forfærdelige ulykker af Satan med Guds tilladelse, da de to indgår et væddemål om, hvorvidt Job virkelig elsker og frygter Gud, eller om Job blot elsker Gud for sin velståendehed. Gud sværger ved Jobs retskaffenhed og giver Satan, lokket af Satan selv, magt over alting i Jobs liv. Ulykkerne, der rammer Job på grund af Satan, tager alt bort fra manden, han holder kært, heriblandt hans børn, hans helbred og hans ejendom. Han kæmper med at forstå sin situation og begynder at lede efter svar til sine vanskeligheder. Til sidst, opildnet af sin kone og venner, forbander han Gud og kalder på ham, for at han skal stå ved ansvar. Gud kommer og viser for Job, og siger til ham, at han aldrig vil kunne forstå universets sammenhæng, og derfor heller ikke har nogle forudsætninger for at vurdere, om Gud handler retfærdigt eller ej. Job erkender da, at han har udtalt sig om noget, der ligger ud over hans forstand, og nu, da han har set Gud med sine egne øjne, fortryder han, hvad han har sagt. Da irettesætter Gud Jobs venner og genopretter derefter Job til et endnu bedre liv end før, velsignet med syv sønner, og tre døtre, Jamima (der betyder "due"), Kezia ("kanel") og Keren-happuch ("horn af øjensminke"). Døtrene skulle være de allersmukkeste kvinder i hele landet.

Great Flood

God asks the vargars to instigate the flood

The vargars conjures the flood on Earth

*The Wrongful Death* (appears as a painting by Tarshell)

The **Great Flood** was, according to the Hebrew Bible, a huge, global flood that covered the entire Earth so that even the tallest mountains were submerged. It was brought about by the god Jehovah, who had created humanity from dust, to cleanse the world of humanity, whom he thought had become far too wicked and sinful. God chose one man named Noah who was to survive along with his family, and ordered him to build a massive vessel, an ark which could house two specimen of every kind of animal. The flood lasted 40 nights and 40 days. When the waters retreated and Noah left the ark with his family and the animals, God promised to never cause another flood on Earth, and as sign of his promise he caused a rainbow to form.

Hereafter, Noah and his family became the ancestors of all future humans, and the animals Noah had saved became the ancestors of all future animals.

Although the Bible states God caused the flood, according to the devil and history teacher Mr. Kokabiel, it was in fact summoned by the vargars of Hell on God's request, in what would become known as the Great Alliance between God and Hell.

Gates of Hell

The **gates of Hell** (Danish: *helvedsporten*) is the entrance into the afterlife of Hell. It leads from the Hell's outer court, which borders Outer Reach, into Hell and the world of the devils. The gates are controlled by a rusty metal handle on the
wall to the left of the gate. Pulling the lever down closes the gate, and pulling it upwards opens the gate. An illustration indicated how the gate is to be opened, and below is a drawing showing how you close it. The handle is operated by the gatekeeper of Hell, who resides in the gatehouse located in the outer court inside which the wrench is found.

The gates are black and colossal, with massive double doors and reaches all the way into the skies above, and it is placed right in the center of the magnificent, circular mountainous wall that encircles Hell. The hinges of the gates are filled with condemned, who are punished like so, and their agonizing cries that sound when the gates are opened or closed, sounds like an ear-tesring, high, sharp creaking.
Festival of Tricks

The **Festival of Tricks** (Danish: *Skarnsstregsfestivalen*) is an annual celebration in Hell, where the worst, most wicked acts committed by the devils that year are celebrated. The festival is a weeklong (five nights) party filled with merrymaking and rabblerousing. On the fifth night, the festival closes with a huge banquet in Lucifer's castle, where the winner of the Festival of Tricks competition is declared. The title of Trickster Champion is only given to the devil who has managed to perform the worst misdeed of the year, and the prize is a finger ring of gold, on which the title is engraved in ornate script. The banquet is meant to be a celebration of Lucifer's temptation of Adam and Eve.

## Trickster Champions

### Notes

1. ↑ The closing banquet is referred to as *"afslutningsmiddagen"* in the original Danish edition of *The Devil's Apprentice*, which would mean "the closing banquet" when translated to proper English, however directly translated it means "closing midday" or "closing midday dinner", as *middag*, meaning "midday", is a colloquial Danish word which in certain contexts can be used to refer to a midday dinner, such as lunch, as well as having come to be able to mean dinner in the evening. In the Danish version, Filip Engell (Philip Engel) asks Satina why it is not *"afslutningsmidnat"*, meaning "closing midnight", instead, which would make more sense in Hell where it is always night. Satina told him they called it *middag* ("midday") because of the fact that it is a celebration of Lucifer's temptation of Adam and Eve and that those specific words were chosen because it happened in broad daylight. *Afslutningsmiddag* is derived from *afslutning* "ending", "closing", and *middag* "dinner", "feast", "lunch", "banquet", literally "midday." This information was not included in the English edition of the book because the concept cannot be properly translated to English, where there does not exist a word for a dinner or banquet that includes the word "midday".
Achan

**Achan** (/ˈækæn/; Hebrew: עכן‎), søn af Karmi, søn af Zabdi, søn af Zerah, af stammen Judah, er en person, der optræder i Josvabogen i Den Hebraiske Bibel (Det Gamle Testamente) i forbindelse med Jerikos fald og erobringen af Ai. Han deltog i slaget om Jeriko, og kender derfor det ældgamle krigsråb, som israelitterne brugte i besværgelsen, der nedstyrtede byens mur. Efter sin død, havnede Akan i Helvede, hvor hans hoved blev skåret af hans krop og lagt i et glas, som blev stillet på studerekammeret i Lucifers slot. Som en af de afdøde fordømte er Akan udødelig.

Gragorn

*"What?” Philip asked. To him it sounded as though the cat had something wedged in its throat.*
*"The demons with the whips. They’re called gragorns—or executioners, if you prefer. Grumblebeard,*
*whom you met at the gate, was an executioner before he became the gatekeeper.*
*"*
— Lucifax explaining what a gragorn is to Philip Engel in *The Devil's Apprentice*

   A **gragorn** (pronounced [ˈgɹæˌgɒn]), also known as **executioner**, is a large, rough-looking, lizard-like demon whose task it is to punish the condemned in Hell. As evidenced by the gatekeeper of Hell, Grumblebeard, and his predecessor, Bucklehorn S. Erpant, not all gragorns are punishers, or executioners as it is called in Hell. Gragorns have names that are composed of two words. The gragorns are one of three kinds of devil, the other two being tempters and vargars.

## Anatomy

Gragorns are large and powerful demons whose bodies are covered in green scales, and generally their appearance comes across as quite reptilian, with large, elongated lizard-like heads with huge dewlaps hanging from their throats, mouhts filled with sharp, yellow crocodile teeth, and yellow eyes with dark pupils. Their horns, which resemble a goat's, are colossal; thick as a human's thigh, as long as a human's arm, and crooked. They have a pair of leathery wings on their back, which they can use to fly with and fold, and they have a thick, hairy rat's tail growing from their rear end. Their fingers and toes, which end in sharp claws, have slight webbing between them. Gragorns are bald, but they are able to grow beards. Like all other kinds of devils, the blood of a gragorn is black.

Most gragorns work as executioners, punishing the condemned and doing their bodies tend to become colored black with soot. Most of the executioners carry whips to use on the condemned.

## Abilities

Gragorns have enormous strength. They are able to breathe fire from their mouth and nostrils, as well, as produce black smoke from the same places. Tempters who have a gragorn as a parent can inherit the ability, as evidenced by Satina Dargue, a half-gragorn, half-tempter who is able to shoot flames from her nose and mouth. With their leathery wings, they are able to fly.

## Known gragorns

* Bucklehorn S. Erpant
* Grumblebeard †
* Grimthorn
* Malgrum
* Grimthorn's colleague]]

## Etymology

The word "gragorn" is a combination of "gorgon" and "dragon".

Dargue family

**Dargue** (pronounced ['dɑɹg]) (Danish: *Mørch*) is the surname of a devil family living in the devil city in Hell. It consists of the male gragorn, Blackhorn Dargue, the female tempter, Demeona Dargue, and their half gragorn, half tempter daughter, Satina Dargue.

## Trivia

* The last name "Dargue" is pronounced as "darg" and is a play on the word "dark". The devil family's name in the original Danish editions of the books were likewise, *Mørch*, which is a real Danish last name that is pronounced is pronounced "*Mørk*", meaning "dark".
Sign of evil

"**Sign of evil**" (Danish: *Mørkets tegn*, "the sign of Darkness" or literally "the sign of the Darkness") is the name given by devils to an **inverted Christian cross**, and is the national symbol of Hell.

If an inverted cross is turned downside up so that it is no longer inverted, it gains supernatural holy powers and can be used as a weapon against unholy creatures, such as vampires and devils.

## Etymology

"The sign of evil" as well as the original Danish name, "the sign of Darkness" or rather "sign of the Darkness" is most likely a play on the term, "the sign of the cross", which refers to the action of drawing the sign of the Christian cross in front of you with your hand, or on you body, to protect yourself or pray to God.
Army of Hell

The **army of Hell** fought for Lucifer in the [[Great Devil War (conflict)]|Great Devil War]] against Aziel Stofeles' army, and consisted of the devils that remained loyal and did not desert to join Aziel's army following Lucifer's decision to making all devils mortal, as well as all of the condemned.
Jack the Ripper

The following information is based on events in *The Wrongful Death* and contain spoilers.

**Jack the Ripper** is a condemned human in Hell, guilty of committing a series of murders while alive in the Whitechapel district of London, England in 1888, presumably on mainly prostitutes. However, the killer was never identified. In his death, he came to Hell, and is punished by being chased through the Forest of Fear by hushers taking on the likenesses of Jack's own female murder victims.

## Physical appearance

Jack the Ripper is a skinny human man. As a condemned he has been stripped of all his clothes, rendering him entirely naked. His body is covered in bleeding cuts and scratches he has received from the twisted twigs and thorny branches of the Forest of Fear. He has beard, more precisely a moustache. When Philip Engel saw Jack the Ripper, who was being chased through the Forest of Fear by hushers transformed into the likenesses of his own victims, Jack was struggling for breath like he was drowning, his beard was dripping with sweat and his eyes were shimmering with dread and madness. He was no stronger than a light breeze and reeked of blood. In life, nothing was known about Jack the Rippers true identity and as such his physical appearance.

## Notes

1. ↑ In the Danish edition of *The Wrongful Death*,
about Jack's physical appearance it is noted that "selv hans overskæg var gennemblødt af sved", which directly translated to English means "even his mustache was soaked in sweat". However, in the English translation of the book this detail was changed, using the more general "beard".
Fire chalk

**Fire chalk** (Danish: *ildkridt*) is a piece of chalk that burns hot. It resembles normal chalk, however it is only because they are so hot that they glow white. Fire chalk is utilised in "the Classroom", a place of punishment for condemned who did not behave in school while alive. Here, condemned who are shackled together in eternity by their ankles and necks, are forced to write "I'll never do it again!" over and over on a blackboard. The chalk burns their hands, causing them to become red and swollen with sores and blisters.

**Mastema** was a male devil and formerly the tempter of Victor Engel until his death when he became Philip Engel's tempter. Mastema was one of the greatest opposers of Lucifer's decision to make the devils mortal and became a member of Aziel Stofeles' army in the time leading up to the Great Devil War, even becoming a part of Aziel's inner circle.

Mastema was to blame for the death of Philip's father, as he was the cause of Victor Engel's car crash. He had murdered him in an attempt to alter and corrupt the soul of Victor's unborn son, Philip Engel, whom he would become tempter for following Victor's death. However, it had the opposite effect on the boy, who became as good as any human can be, and as he never listened to Mastema's tempting voice, Mastema eventually diverted his attention elsewhere. Following Lucifer's making the devils mortal, Mastema had followed travelled to Outer Reach and became a member of Aziel's inner circle in the ruined city of Enoch, where Aziel would found his New Hell. Following Satina Dargue's abduction to Enoch by one of Aziel's hushers, Philip, who at this time had become a devil, came to Enoch to search for her. While there, Philip tricked Aziel into believing Mastema was a traitor, which prompted Aziel to murder the ancient demon by slitting his throat.

## Physical appearance

Mastema is a terrifying sight. His body and face is pale as a skull, and his two horns are the gigantic horns of a mountain goat. His eyes are carved out of the darkest night and his smile is extremely cruel and evil. As with all tempters, Mastema's horns are black, he has a tail growing from his rear and a pair of bat wings growing from his shoulder blades that he can use to fly with and fold together.

While Mastema's horns had been gigantic 14 human years ago, while he was still Victor Engel's tempter, in the last years of Mastema's life, the demon had grown old and his horns had become gray, but on the other hand the horns had grown even longer and more terrifying than ever.

Kunlun Mountain

**Kunlun Mountain** (Danish: *Kunlunbjerget*) is the place where the souls of humans who do not believe death is final are reincarnated upon their death, in a new body, and returned to Earth to be reborn. What body is determined by how they have behaved through their life, and some people reborn as animals as a result of a wicked lifestyle. The Kunlun Mountain exists somewhere in the afterlife, among the complex system of stairwells connecting all underworlds. The Kunlun in Chinese mythology is the name of a mountain or mountain range where many important events in Chinese mythology have taken place. However, it is not said in any of the myths that this is where humans are reincarnated. That role usually falls on Diyu, the Chinese hell. According to Taoist beliefs, the Kunlun is the home of immortals and a paradise.

## Mythological background

The *Kunlun* (traditional Chinese: 崑崙; simplified Chinese: 昆仑; pinyin: *Kūnlún*; Wade–Giles: *K'un-lun*) or *Kunlun Shan* is a mountain or mountain range in Chinese mythology, an important symbol representing the *axis mundi* (the central axis of the world or a connection between Heaven and Earth) and divinity. Originally the word *Kunlun* was the name of a mythological mountain or mountain range said to exist north-west of China and act as a connection between the life-giving centre of the universe in the ' and the underworld below the mountain. The word *Kunlun* is etymologically related to *Hundun* which stands for chaos, that is the starting place of the world, and in Taoist mythology the mountain is presented as a kind of paradise garden, where Hsi Wang Mu (Xi Wang Mu), the 'Spirit Mother of the West', usually called the 'Queen Mother of the West', is surrounded by mythical creatures and immortals, and where grows peaches with the ability to bestow immortality. The first person to visit the mountain was, according to the legends, King Mu (976-922 BCE) from the Zhou Dynasty. There he supposedly found the Jade Palace belonging to the Yellow Emperor, the mythical father of Chinese culture, and met Xi Wang Mu, which was the object of an ancient religious cult that met its peak in the Han Dynasty, and she supposedly had her mythical home in these mountains.

The mythological *Kunlun* is based partially on the Kailash temple and partially on the real life Kunlun Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau. Different locations of the *Kunlun* have been given in the various legends, myths, and semi-historical accounts in which it appears. These accounts typically describe the *Kunlun* as the dwelling place of various gods and goddesses, and sometimes the home of fabled plants and mythical creatures. Many important events in Chinese mythology have taken place on the *Kunlun*.

Restless Retirement Home

**Restless** (Danish: *alderdomshjemmet 'Hvileløs'*) is a retirement home for elderly devils which lie on the outskirts of the Forest of Fear. It is a place of dwelling and care for the devils who have become too weak to work and take care of themselves. Before Lucifer removed the devils' immortality, the home was full of people who resembled corpses more than living beings, and in agony they only wished to finally die.

Faith

**Faith** is trust or confidence in a person, thing or concept, either of their existance or that they are of a certain nature. In the context of religion, one can define faith as "faith in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion". Religious people often think of faith as trust based on a perceived degree of justification, while others who are more skeptical of religion tend to think of faith as mere faith without evidence.

Faith has power in the real world, as it is what has transformed reality to conform to Christian theological cosmology. It is also faith that has created the various biblical figures that did not exist, including God and the Devil himself. Faith also created the gods and other mythological beings and places of different beliefs, and it is also what keeps gods immortal, given that immortality is part of people's beliefs about them. If humans believe in a particular god or a certain afterlife or the like, then these exist in worlds beyond the land the of the living, and can be accessed in underworlds that exist in the world of stairwells between the underworlds.
Seven horns

The **seven horns** were seven trumpets made out of ram's horns, which played an important role in the toppling of the walls of Jericho. The horns were "shofar", an ancient traditional Jewish musical instrument which since the earliest times were used for religious purposes. On Joshua's order, the seven horns were carried around the wall of Jericho by seven priests seven times, along with the Ark of the Covenant, after which the priests blowed into them, a battle cry was shouted by the Israelites, and the walls of Jericho fell flat down.

During the Great Devil War Aziel Stofeles had replicas of the seven horns be made, out of one horn from seven different devils from his enemy's army, which he used in the recreation of the Israelites' ritual, in order to breach through the walls of Hell and fight the enemy army within.

## History

### Background

Since the time of Moses, the horn known as the shofar has been used to get the attention of the Israelites, to give a signal or to commence a revelation and/or warning from God.
House of Gluttons

The following information is based on events in *The Fallen Angel* and contain spoilers.

The **House of Gluttons** (Danish: *Ædedolkenes Klub*) is a punishment place in Hell where condemned humans whose sin is gluttony are punished. The place is a banquet hall with an lavishly-set long dining table filled with delicious-looking foods on platters and between them jugs filled with water, wine and frothy beer, although in reality it is all an illusion, including the delicious smells that fills the room and washes over the condemned with the force of a tidal wave. The walls are made out of mirrors, which makes the room appear large and as if there are endless rows of tables and food.

When you bite into the food, it turns out to be something horrific, such as shards of glass. The drinks, also, turn out to be something else, such as the wine which is truly acid, or the water which is sand. The condemned are told that some of the foods and drinks are genuine, although this is a lie.

## Trivia

* The name "House of Gluttons", in Danish "Ædedolkenes Klub", is a reference to a club in the Danish novel *Livsens Ondskab* (lit. "The Evil of Life") written by Gustav Wied and published 1899. The novel is set in an unnamed town, and in the town there is a group of wealthy individual patrons who gets together four times a year at the town's hotel, Prindsen, to indulge in excess amounts of expensive foods and alcoholic drinks. The get-togethers are called "Ædedolkenes klub", literally "the Gluttons' Club".
Grimthorn's colleague

This unnamed gragorn met Philip Engel and Satina Dargue while he was expanding the fence of the Field of Envy. He did this work with the gragorn Grimthorn.

## History

### *The Fallen Angel*

This gragorn was asked to expand the Field of Envy, as there were more condemned on their way to the place of punishment. One night, as the gragorn had been working pounding a stake into the ground for the fence, Satina Dargue and Philip Engel came to the field. Satina asked him where Cain's body was, as it had been removed from the inverted cross at the entrance to the Field of Envy. The gragorn told her that it had been moved two nights earlier by order of the Devil's cat. This surprised Satina, who noted that Cain was already dead. The gragorn said that some people believed it was discriminatory to the other condemned when one was treated differently, and that "The Devil finds work for idle hands."

Denne gragorn blev bedt om at udvide Misundelsesmarken, da der er flere fordømte på vej til straffestedet. En nat, da gragornen er ved at banke en pæl i jorden til hegnet kommer Satina Mørch og Filip Engell til marken. Satina spørgerer ham om, hvor Kain er blevet af, da hans lig er blevet fjernet fra det omvendte kors ved indgangen til Misundelsesmarken. Gragornen kunne fortælle, at han var blevet flyttet for to nætter siden på ordre fra Djævelens kat. Det forbavser Satina, der påpeger at Kain allerede er død. Gragornen sagde, at nogen mente, de fordømte ikke skulle forskelsbehandles, og at det nok var "en eller anden politisk vedtægt, hvilket jo er noget, fanden har skabt." Satina spurgte ham om, hvor Kain var blevet flyttet til, hvilket gragornen ikke kunne huske. Han spurgte sin kollega Grumtand, som fortalte, at Kain var flyttet til Galgedalen.

## Trivia

* In the original Danish edition of *The Fallen Angel* (*Den faldne engel*), instead of saying "The Devil finds work for idle hands", the gragorn says that the moving of Cain's body was "Probably some sort of political statute, which is something the Devil invented." The last part is a Danish idiom that does not exist in English: "det har Fanden skabt."

Battlefield in Heaven

*Toward the east—with the sun on their backs—is an army so gigantic, it's hard to fathom. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of armoredangels, carrying spears and swords. They are silent, like players in a game,their eyes on the enemy. This is God's army and it would strike fear in theheart of anyone.*"
— Narrator, *The Angel of Evil*

The **battlefield in Heaven** is the gigantic grassy field in Heaven on which the war between God's angel army and Lucifer's angel army was fought and in which Lucifer's army suffered defeat. The field is so big that it stretches endlessly to all sides.

## Notes

1. ↑ The battlefield is located in Heaven and not on Earth, and the original Danish text does not include the term "to all corners of the Earth", but simply states that "*Han befinder sig på en mark, der synes at strække sig endeløst til alle sider.*" which translated to English means "*He found himself on a field that seemed to stretch endlessly to all sides.*" It is possible that "the Earth" is used metaphorically, but seeing as the term is capitalized it seems unlikely and is most likely an error made by the translator.
