Nephilim
General Overview
After mankind became plentiful upon the earth, the Archangel Raziel fell in love with a daughter of man. He was so in love that he convinced his legion to abandon their posts and take the daughters of men as their wives. This gave birth to the first of the Nephilim.
Mankind went to war with the first race of Nephilim and their angelic parents. The Archangels saw the Nephilim as abominations and came down to aid men in their war effort.
The Nephilim were nearly all wiped out, as were the angels that sired them. Raziel was captured, brought back to the heavenly realms to stand trial. He was imprisoned in a stone that was placed directly next to what the humans called the source.
The view on Nephilim has changed in the eons since their first inception. Enough so that even archangels have had children with mortals, but those are the rarest of the new age Nephilim. It is believed that psychics and oracles have a Nephilim somewhere in their family’s bloodline.
Beliefs
The Nephilim hold closely to the hidden gospel of Mathias which speaks to the belief that someday an Incubus will rise up as an antichrist like figure and a Nephilim will rise up as his power counterpart to oppose him. They will plunge the world into war and in the end, the Nephilim will stand victorious banishing the incubus back into darkness and closing the pit of Hell forever. They also believe that someday the archangels will come down to earth and free their brother Raziel from his prison and forgive him so he may retake his place amongst the cosmic beings. He will also stand as judge of every man, woman, creature, demon, and angel at the end times. Nephilim have taken it upon themselves to help keep a balance and will hunt down other paranormal creatures and beings who have crossed the line, sometimes they hunt humans down too. Upon their death, the angelic grace a Nephilim carries with them will make a new angel.
Heads
Each Nephilim belongs to a class that depends on their parentage they have a Nephilim elected to the head of their classes that they report or answer too. Each head has the former head of the class act as an advisor. There is a head leader usually the son of one of the archangels whom the other heads answer to. The heads also run bi-monthly council meetings open to all Nephilim to sit in.
