Mythology

A quick re-cap – not too spoilery if you haven’t read the series.

The Fallen

Thrown out of heaven for seducing human women, Semyaza and two hundred other angels spent thousands of years being tormented in hell for their crimes. When they finally broke out a hundred and forty years ago, they did the same thing again. And then they mysteriously disappeared.

The Rephaim

The Rephaim are their offspring. Half-angel and half-human, they were tracked down and raised by Nathaniel, a fallen angel seeking redemption (the only one of the two hundred who abstained the second time around). He believes the Rephaim’s destiny is to find their fathers and deliver them back to the Angelic Garrison.

The Angelic Garrison

An army of archangels. The Fallen served with them before their downfall. It was the Garrison who sent Semyaza and the Two Hundred to hell.

The Gatekeepers

Demons tracking the Fallen since their escape from hell, looking to return them to the pit. They want to destroy The Rephaim – or take them to hell with their fathers.

Hellions

Hulking hell-beasts that serve as The Gatekeepers’ murderous pets.
