The Watchers
It is some time after the Creation and before the Great Flood. War rages across the Heavens. Some angels sinned against god, and were exiled from Heaven. Others chose to rebel against the Lord. Under Samael’s leadership, these fallen angels wage war against to forces of the Creator.
In every war, there is espionage. You have been chosen by the Lord to infiltrate the rebel angels, and sabotage their actions from within. But is it rebellion or obedience to sin if God asks you to?
Before the creation of the earth, all was well in Heaven. All the angels obeyed and respected God and the divine order of things. But when God created Earth, he also created mankind. Many angels, especially Samael, resented humanity. The Lord had chosen mankind to be the centerpiece of creation, and their moral development was seen as of primary importance. The angels, once God’s most beloved creations, were now to be subservient to mankind. Samael, and other angels, could not accept this, and began to agitate for change.
Shortly after humanity’s creation, a host of angels, led by Semjaza, became enamored of human women. They taught these human women heaven’s secrets, like metallurgy and astronomy, and fathered children with these women. These children, when born, were the monstrous giants known as the Nephilim.
When the lord God learned of these Nephilim, he ordered the sinning angels banished from Heaven. The angel Metatron, who had once been the human Enoch, tried to intercede on the angel’s behalf, but the Lord would not listen. “You were formerly spiritual,” they were told, “living the eternal life and immortal for all generations of the world; and therefore I have not appointed wives for you.”
When these angels were banished from Heaven, Samael moved from complaining to outright rebellion against the Lord. He chose to leave Heaven and the Lord’s service and fight for control of Creation. About a third of all angels left with him. These rebel angels have created an alliance with Semjaza’s exiled angels, but this alliance is an uneasy one: those that left willingly left for political reasons, but the exiles are criminals, and many penitently wish to return to the Lord’s service.
