### Jophiel: In the Beginning

Jophiel was born among the ranks of the Seraphim, She served in the ranks of the Eagle Host, but did not find satisfaction fighting demons and daimons to earn Heaven more real estate. She tried relocating to the Lion Host, but she was disgraced before long after being caught up in a scandal with the angel Balthazar. With the advent of sentience among mortal creatures, Jophiel decided she was in need of a change.

Calling in a few favors, Jophiel got herself assigned to a team that was escorting the archangel Gabriel on a mission which required observing the earliest of sentient life. Much of this assignment required sitting in a hidden outpost, waiting for anything interesting to happen. When they left the outpost, they would travel great distances to study their subjects up close.

Jophiel charmed Gabriel, becoming his favored study partner. Once she had done this, suddenly those long stretches of time in the outpost became more bearable. Though the two angels became more interested in studying each other, they did complete their mission and returned to Heaven. But Jophiel did not report back to the Pax Dei upon her return, having been transferred to Gabriel's personal estate.

Jophiel spent billions of years as Gabriel's assistant, helping with the formation of sentient life across countless planets in the universe. Jophiel, Raziel, and Azrael were Gabriel's closest comrades, though they also worked with Saraquael, Hanael, and many others in this endeavor. They also worked closely with the Endless known as Death, delivering souls before birth and taking custody of souls at the moment of death.

When the Morningstar Rebellion broke out, Jophiel had a falling out with Gabriel. She chose to return to the Pax Dei to fight against the rebellious Samael. In battle, when Raguel was defeated by Samael's champion Apollyon, Jophiel and Azrael swept in to defend the downed archangel. Apollyon defeated both quickly and warned them to stay down as he did not wish to kill any angel held in great esteem by his lover Saraquael. However, as Apollyon turned away, Azrael attacked again. Apollyon's scythe cleaved Azrael in two with Jophiel in horrified shock.

Moments later, as Apollyon looked upon Jophiel, the order came from Samael to surrender. Apollyon dropped his scythe and Jophiel picked it up, ready to slay the angel for what he had done to her friend. But Raziel dropped in and wrestled the weapon from Jophiel before chastising her into submission.

### Jophiel: Prehistory - Present

Following the reformation in Heaven, brought about by the insurrection, the administration of sentient life was organized into the Order of the Azraelim. Jophiel, along with Raziel, became the leaders of the new Order. Though they commanded a vast number of angels, they also had to report to an archangel. As Gabriel was busy with his role as the new Metatron, Saraquel volunteered to oversee the Azraelim. This was an awkward assignment for Jophiel as Saraquael had been the lover of Apollyon, the angel she had nearly murdered.

Jophiel routinely requested a transfer, but Saraquel denied her that satisfaction. Whenever she could, Jophiel sought out Gabriel for comfort and advice. She also begged him to return to governing the Azraelim, but was constantly disappointed by his answers. However, their close friendship remained. When Gabriel was chosen to sire a Planetary Shaman, Jophiel served as his wing-woman and acted as a herald, announcing the birth to wise persons and humble shepherds alike.

When that shaman was murdered, Gabriel retreated from Heaven and though he would entertain Jophiel's visits with some regularity, their friendship suffered. Jophiel grew closer to Saraquael during the dark ages, mostly on account of taking on the challenge of becoming a mentor to Saraquael's daughter.

Also worth noting that since the colonization of America, Jophiel has had a special place in her heart for the "American Experiment" and its unique culture.
