A fallen angel (Art by Fesbra)
| “ | When angels go bad they are worse than anyone else. Remember, Lucifer used to be an angel. | „ |
| ~ Abigail Hawkins |
| “ | All of us fallen have something in common, no matter if you are Watcher or Jinn. A glorious and brave resistance against that great heavenly despot who thinks he can own and control us. He cannot. He never will. Because we have the will to resist him. He can cast us down from the Heavens and put us in chains in gloomy darkness, but he can never destroy our will to fight. Our hearts beat for freedom from his tyranny and we will never bow the knee to him! | „ |

A Fallen Angel, also known as a Rebel Angel, is a former servant of God that has either willingly forsaken their role or has somehow become corrupted. As a result these angels have been cast out of Heaven and either taken resident on one of the many depictions of Hell or have taken to wandering among the mortal races.
Description[]
Fallen angels are normally perceived as demons. Their lust for power is matched with a malicious mind, emotion, and will. In their present, restrained state, these demonic angels are awaiting God’s final judgment and their ultimate destination; a predestined, eternal hell, a place of “reserved everlasting chains.”
The appearance of a fallen angel typically depends on the amount of malice they have in their mind, emotion, and will. Many of the fallen angels that have rebelled with Lucifer retained their angelic appearance although with minor differences, the most notable one being their black wings, while others are more grotesque and monstrous. It is said that the fallen angels who retain their beauty use the latter as a weapon to seduce and tempt mankind into committing evil acts.
History[]
Genesis[]
The first host of angels to fall from the graces of Heaven were those who participated in the rebellion against God led by Lucifer himself. Lucifer managed to convince a one third of the angelic host to side with him in his rebellion, thus, there is currently a one third of fallen angels that dwell within the pits of Hell.
After the fall, a good number of the fallen seemingly lost their angelic power and status, and were twisted into that of demonic beings. Other, more powerful, fallen angels still retained portions of their angelic grace like Lucifer and Satan. Their demonic power is said to be just as great as when they were angels, however, despite this they remain to be restrained under the Satanic Triumvirate. The same can be said for Satan though he rebelled for different reasons.
Book of Enoch[]
The second host were known as the Watchers, an order of angels that were tasked by God to observe humanity and not interfere in their affairs nor are they to interact with them. Despite this they were still allowed to aid them to the extent that God allows. However, upon being manipulated by Naamah and her band of malicious spirits while also in league with the seven sins, the Watchers would take human women as their brides and copulated with them. This union resulted in the creation of superhuman beings akin to giants, who most were eventually destroyed by God either via the Flood.
The fallen Watchers were subdued and punished by Heaven, condemned to suffer in the darkest pits of Sheol itself where neither the light of Heaven or God can reach them, leaving them in perpetual darkness and silence. Many of these fallen angels are believed to have lost their link with the ideals of their particular faith, causing them to work against the forces of good and side with evil.
Another group of fallen celestial beings were those led by Iblis, who refused to bow down to humans. God cast them down to Hell, where they joined Lucifer's cause, and became enemies of mankind.
