The Book of The Angels

The Book of The Angels is an extremely rare, yet very powerful collection of Angelic books. There are seven books in the collection, and in the wrong hands, the effects could eventually be catastrophic.

The Book's were created by Angels, and depending on the book in the collection, they can be a Book of Shadows or a History Book.

Prue Halliwell, the current caretaker of the Books, remarked that the book is rich in English and History, and is very "heavy" reading because of how and when it was written. Melinda herself was not able to read the books very well, as she kept having to use a dictionary to translate the words.

Rufus and Viviana
Rufus and Viviana were approached by Handreel, who told them that he was an Angel and needed their help. He then gave them the Books and Gadreel's Angelic Medallion to protect - with their life if needed. Handreel also stressed the importance of Evil never being able to lay hands on the items. Rufus and Viviana then swore to protect the items.

Whitmore Family
The collection was given to an ancestor of the Whitmore Family, and centuries later, they ended up in the Whitmore Family's possession. Mr. Whitmore kept the collection in a secret compartment in his Mansion, and that is where Sebastian keeps it as well. It was revealed that the Whitmore's have been passing the book's down throughout the generations. Each generation gathering more information about them and passing that knowledge down to their children.

Ignatius, an upper-level demon, coveted the seventh book in the collection, as it holds a spell that can release The Darkness from its prison. Ignatius, after many failed attempts, finally managed to outsmart a Whitmore, Sebastian, and a Destined One, Tamora and get the book. He attacked them head on and managed to kill Sebastian. Overwhelmed by grief over her lover, Tamora was unable to stop Ignatius from getting the seventh book.

Sebastian was later reborn as a Whitelighter and appeared a distraught Tamora to inform her of many things. One of those things was who should be entrusted with protecting the Books for him until he can return. He stated that her cousin, Prue Halliwell, should be the one to protect them. He couldn't explain it but he could sense that she was the right one to protect it. As of now, Prue and the Destined Ones have the books.
