Angels

*“There are some things that make it easier to be ‘infected’ the more you know.”*This article contains **MAJOR SPOILERS** relating to some of the most pivotal parts of the "*Lord of Mysteries*".

Mr. Fool really has an angel as an attendant! Every angel has at least the power of a Sequence 2… Although that’s expected and I’ve already expected it, it’s still amazing because it has finally been verified! And only deities can control angels!

**Angels** refer to Sequence 1 and 2 Beyonders. "They" are complete mythical creatures and require an anchor to prevent "Them" from going mad. "They" can respond to prayers all over the world and were once known as Subsidiary Gods in ancient times. Those who accommodate more than one Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic or the Uniqueness of "Their" pathway are known as Kings of Angels.

Each Pathway can only have at most three Sequence 1 angels. If there is a Sequence 0 of this pathway, it usually means there are no Sequence 1 angels and that the second highest Sequence of this pathway is Sequence 2. There are a few exceptions: for example, a Sequence 0 Visionary can separate two of "His" Sequence 1 characteristic to an imagined entity while filling the gap in their own Beyonder Characteristic with two imagined characteristics.

In the Church of the Evernight Goddess’ bible, there was the division between angels and archangels, the latter refers to Sequence 1. According to the canon descriptions of the various Churches, an archangel has twelve pairs of wings.

## General Powers/Characteristics of Angels

* **Biological immortality**: "They" have the capacity to never age. "They" also no longer need food or drink to survive. However, "They" are still susceptible to harm and death.
* **Complete Mythical Creature Form**
* **Ability to respond to prayers all over the world**
* **Ability to shatter Beyonder characteristics**
* **Ability to separate out "Their" spare Beyonder characteristics from earlier Sequences**
* **Resistance to the Sefirot's ability to establish a connection through knowledge of "Their" existence**: All Sefirot and Above the Sequence existences have the characteristic that, once an individual knows enough information about "Them", "They" can establish a connection to that individual and cause corruption through that connection. An Angel can sever this connection in one the following ways:
	+ "They" could use the status and strength of a complete Mythical Creature.
	+ "They" could suppress "Their" anchors, using the mental imprint the Primordial One left in "Them" to offset the corruption.
	+ If "They" are in control of a Sefirah "Themselves", "They" could use "Their" Sefirah's aura.
* **Become a symbol of certain phenomena at Sequence 1**

## List of Angels of Standard Pathways

* (K) means "They" are a King of Angels;
* (G) means the angel advanced to Sequence 0 and joined the ranks of true Gods in this epoch;
* (a → b) means that in this Epoch, the angel's earliest known Sequence was Sequence 'a' and latest known Sequence was Sequence 'b'.
* means "They" are deceased
