As 2018 draws to a close, here’s a list of Liber Neglecta’s 10 most popular Celestials:

10: Metatron, Archangel of the Word

Metatron was the first Superior to feature a write up on this blog. His place in the mythos was created as part of the original Steve Jackson writing team, but as a deceased angel, he has always been a bit of an enigma. In retrospect, the Servitor Attunement I created for Cherubs is a bit overpowered, but aside from that I think this Superior still stands up.

Who’s Number One?

2017 was the Liber Neglecta’s 5th year online, and the second year of (mostly) continuous posting. As the year draws to a close, I thought now would be a good time to look at who has topped the chart as most popular Angel or Demon.

SPEED!

March Fight

Sandalphon vs. Lucifuge Rofocale

It’s a race! The fastest angel in heaven vs. a champion of the Prince of Pride.

The stakes? Well for Sandalphon to even bother, there’s probably got to be a McGuffin or a Divine Intervention of some sort involved – but the real stakes are going to be the state of Sandalphon’s soul.

It is highly unlikely that Lucifuge Rofocale could find a celestial or spirit who could best Sandalphon in a fair race – but he might be able to find someone who could at least challenge the fastest angel. From there it will simply be a matter of structuring the course so that Sandalphon needs to decide between keeping his title and doing some serious harm to the world.

Sandalphon from Shin Megami Tensei

First Appearance: Angelic Player’s Guide pg 34

In Nomine canon does not provide much information on Sandalphon. Aside from Choir (Ofanite) and speed, the rest is left to the imagination.

The DC: Vertigo version is clearly a poor choice for inspiration, as the Vertigo universe puts Sandalphon on the side of the demons (though interestingly, not on the side of Lucifer). Then again, comics have never been the best source for angel lore.
