Lucifer ha Satan, Archangel of Light

Archangel, Heresy, In Nomine, Lucifer, Pre-Fall, Seraph

In Nomine’s Lucifer is ineffable by design. Putting his character and abilities into words actually lessens him as a device for GMs. Thus, while this post is limiting itself to Lucifer before the Fall, it is still inherently a heretical piece as far as In Nomine canon is concerned.

Lucifer was the third angel created (after Yves and Michael), and was always something of a golden boy. He would head out into the unexplored darks and light the way for the Creation that would follow. Both Gabriel and Uriel can trace their lineage back to Lucifer (and by extension, so can Lawrence and Khalid).

Beleth, Archangel of Fears

Archangel, Beleth, Cherub, In Nomine, Pre-Fall

“When Beleth was an angel, she held the Word of Fear, and used it for the good of mankind. Hers was the fear that kept living things away from danger, and the fear for others that impelled a mother to save a child or a friend to defend a friend. She lived with Blandine in the tower that Blandine still inhabits, and the substance of both their natures was woven into its walls”

D&D Clerics of the Archangels

Archangel, Clerical Domain, D&D, In Nomine

Maybe you’ve noticed, but it’s a lot easier to gather a group of people together to play D&D than it is to gather them for a game of In Nomine. So I’ve been thinking about how the In Nomine Superiors could be used as divine patrons for a D&D campaign.

I have chosen each Archangel’s alignment based on whom I believe they would be willing to accept as followers. Thus, while I might personally consider Lithroy to be an agent of Chaos, I have listed him as Neutral Good because I think he’d be more likely to accept someone Lawful Good or True Neutral as an adherent than someone Chaotic Neutral.

Because 5e is still relatively young, I am also using Domains from 3e and 3.5e even though they have not yet been ported into the current system.

Orc, Archangel of Networks

Archangel, In Nomine, Jean, Kyriotate, Orc

“The world is connected. Can you hear me now?”

Orc is the first Archangel in an an age to be recognized by the Seraphim council rather than elevated. Some even wonder if his ascent might not have been getting a nudge from another source. After all, he has accomplished in years something that has taken other capable angels centuries to accomplish. Continue reading →

Jaami, Archangel of Unity

99 Names, Archangel, David, In Nomine, Kyriotate, Lawrence, Lucifer, Metatron, Unity, Wordbound

087 al jaamiBefore time was time, Jaami was the chief administrator of Heaven. Then Yves convinced the venerable angel to make way for the Metatron, During their tenure, Jaami helped heaven work as one, after sealing their own power and joining David’s ranks dissent was able to creep into heaven. This ultimately resulted in the betrayals of Lucifer, Ophis, and the Grigori. Recently Lawrence learned Jaami’s true identity, and after a particularly humiliating defeat he sought out the venerable Kyriotate and restored it’s full power.

The two have been thick as thieves since. They agree on everything, and slowly more of the Archangels are falling into line, assisting Jaami in gathering everything and everyone back together.

Note: This is a non-canon interpretation designed to allow for an Angelic antagonist – the cannonical version is a simple wordbound servitor of David.

Galgaliel, Ofanite Archangel of the Sun (Provost of the Sun)

Archangel, Eli, Gabriel, Lucifer, Ofanite

Sun-GalgalielThe world is all alone in a vast void, give it what light and warmth you can.

Although he is billions of years old, Galgaliel remains a child. He has never really had the sorts of interactions which might cause him to mature – his corona is too dangerous for prolonged trips to earth, and most angels have little cause to visit him. Continue reading →

Cassiel, Archangel of Tears

Archangel, Cassiel, Elohite, In Nomine, Oannes

cY1jQCassiel was once the head of the Elohim of Water. Though high in rank, the position received very little recognition. Oannes did not want pride to tempt his senior servitors into following the path of Vephar. As an elohite, Cassiel could comprehend the compassion and grief behind his mentor’s choice and never once begrudged the older angel his mourning.

When Belial slaughtered Oannes, the Malakim of Water were quick to join David, Gabriel, Michael, Lawrence, or anyone else who they felt would give them a shot at retribution. Many of his other other servitors also quickly found new homes among the Archangel’s allies. When it came time for the Seraphim Council to appoint a new guardian of the Earth’s waters, the only angel of sufficient seniority who remained was Cassiel, who had been leading the heavenly lament for his old master.

Kobal, Archangel of Laughter

Archangel, In Nomine, Irony, Kobal, Mercurian, Redeemed

It is worth noting that in the official version of In Nomine, Kobal was never an Archangel. Although he was a close confidant of god, Kobal was only promoted to Superior after he fell.

However, Dominic was only promoted to Archangel after the rebellion. If you’re having Kobal remain loyal to heaven, it’s entirely possible that he was promoted at the same time.

Murillo's Saint Raphael

Saint Raphael the Archangel by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

“The world knows its answer. Admitting it would mean no more questions.”

In many ways Raphael was both the lightest and darkest of all angels to survive the war. Like Metatron (and perhaps Yves) she was privy to the mind of God. While she frequently wore the guise of childlike wonder and encourages such among her servitors, at her core Raphael was cold, secretive, and mendacious. Rather than advising and tutoring the agents of heaven, she served as their tactician and spymistress.

Raphael lied and prevaricated more than any other Archangel. She employed blackmail, arranged assassinations, and even engineered the fall of angels with an icy and inexorable logic that still ultimately led to the benefit of heaven. On more than one occasion she absented herself from heaven shortly before being detained for formal inquisition only to turn herself just in time for the interrogation to prove irrelevant.
