Angels/High Angels

High Angels are a group of Angels that are significantly stronger and of higher position than other Angels and beings.

Creation
High Angels were created with the purpose of maintaining the Grand Design and helping to keep the peace between Angels and the humans. They have been around longer than Earth has, and it is unknown where they live. However, the place has been described as being white and bright.

Battle against Darkness
Darkness was created around the same time Angels or Earth was, and the High Angels' jobs were to defeat this new threat so that Earth would be safe for humans. The warriors were sent out on missions to defeat this evil, and they were unsuccessful. On one battle, Adriel snuck out to fight even though she wasn't supposed to, and was in over her head. Gadreel saved her, but in the process, Darkness went into him and he became Darkness' host.

The Revolt
After being infected with Darkness, Gadreel started to change and turned against the Angels' beliefs. He became paranoid and convinced his best friend and then love to join him, and they had a plan to fight against their own people to end the plan. However, Adriel and Uzriel realized the plan was wrong and told Handreel about what was going on. They then enacted a plan of their own to stop Gadreel and lock the Darkness away until they could find a way to kill him.

They used the blood of Adriel and Uzriel, Gadreel's Medallion, and an Ancient Spell to do so. They were successful in locking Gadreel/The Darkness away. However, the aftermath of the revolt was challenging, and lead to many Angels falling from Grace and being forced to start new lives among the humans.

Falling From Grace
Angels are allowed to fall from Grace and walk among humans as beings like humans. They are stripped of their powers and all ties to other Angels. This is one of the highest punishments that and Angel can receive, but also one of the lowest in severity.

As a favor, Handreel managed to get Uzriel this punishment for betraying the Angels and siding with Gadreel if only for a moment. He told them the punishment could be much worse, and that this was the best that he could get for them.
