Israfel, the Angel of Music, is the most well known choirmaster of heaven, but she is not the only one. Jordi’s favored cantor is Jeduthun, a Malakite entrusted with leading the Trisagion at dusk, when the forces of Hell are most empowered. Once his hour leading the hosannas is up, Jeduthun will spend the night prowling the wilds of heaven and earth to lead the beasts in their own song, and warn away demons and poachers.

Rapuns is one of Novalis’ exorcists and psychopomps. He does his best to terrify demons and evil spirits away from living mortals, while also guiding lost souls to their place of final illumination. Although Rapun holds a rather high standing within the Cathedral of Flowers, he rarely calls upon Novalis’ other servitors, he knows that his reliance upon intimidation and interest in the dead can be off putting to the Archangel’s other followers.
However, if there *is* a demon running amok that he cannot handle himself, he will call on what resources he can to keep the evil from living.

For Novalis what seems like 25 years is roughly comparable to what you or I would perceive as a fortnight. A really, really bad fortnight.

Michael is the Archangel of War, but he has a strong secondary emphasis on finding heroes and champions (his two highest Distinctions). So it only stands to reason that he would also oversee the path towards heroism.
For this particular exercise, I will be using the Hero’s Journey from Joseph Campbell’s monomyth.

Marc is old, but not that old. A quarter century to us is like a fortnight to him. However, he is also about as close as heaven can come to the idealized businessman, so he actually spends every hour of that time minding the ministry of Trade: buying, selling, and making promotions with split-second precision if it might improve the stature of his Cathedral.

As one of the younger Archangels, the past 25 years have probably felt to Khalid much like the better part of a year would feel to one of us.

Vörös is one of the very oldest Angels of Jordi. In the beginning they were a Domination who liaised with Eli and Novalis to ensure that the biological systems of the newly created world would feed and support the animals who were to be Jordi’s charge.
When the demons broke from heaven, Vörös took the vows of a Malakite, but did not abandon Sheretzim (things which swarm) for Chayyah (wild beasts of the earth). Vörös Dagály’s specific task is protecting the oceans by encouraging bivalves and mollusks and zooplankton to eat massive algea blooms (red tides). And for millennia Vörös hunted the demons of the deep alongside the Malakim of Water. After Oannes death and the sundering of the Cathedral of Water, Vörös became something of a loner whose connection with heaven gradually diminished.

Jordi has a memory stretching back to before the dinosaurs. What has been 25 years to us likely seems like little more than 10 minutes to him.

Khalid and Zadkiel are the only two canonically Muslim Archangels within the In Nomine setting, and many of the Islamic angel’s referenced in Gustav Davidson’s Dictionary of Angels could easily serve either superiors. Still this list emphasized the In Nomine archangel that I think each aligns with more closely.

I swear that it was not my intent to pair Superiors up when I started sorting Gustav Davidson’s Dictionary of Angels by In Nomine’s archangelic word. However, Jewish occultism names the Moon as the Angel of Dreams, and that’s where the vast majority of dream angels can be found. Of course, since the moon controls the tides, this means that any one of these lunar angels, could instead be an angel of Water.
