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.

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.

Ursilhilaz considers themself to be an angelic protector of the downtrodden and oppressed, and like most true angels, they believe that such individuals must be uplifted (either through their own efforts or those of a community). However, like many a follower of Malphas, Ursilhilaz goes further than heavenly politics would allow.
As a Punisher, Ursilhilaz believes that if the oppressed should be uplifted, then the most oppressed should be the most uplifted. Finding the most oppressed celestial is easy: Ursilhilaz knows that they are the most oppressed child of heaven (why else would such a divine being as themself be forced to consort with demons, and as an underling no less).

Contrary to popular opinion, Sigron loves humanity. They love how humans constantly prey upon each other, he loves how they turn to a distant and indifferent god to solve their problems and express their grief and solidarity for them, and he loves how they think that this is enough.

To Kobal the past 25 years have been like a single second. He may be spitballing ideas constantly, but even he doesn’t expect there to be much quality behind them. However, Dark Humor as a whole has perceived the last quarter century as something closer to one month. Unless someone landed a major gig (Earth) and made a solid accounting of themself, they’re still just a nobody.

As one of the eldest angels, Gabriel would have perceived as the whole of the time since The Fall in roughly the same way that you or I might understand a second. She is also, in many ways, Eli’s counterpart. If he is stuck in the moment of the Symphony’s birth, she has gone through existence with her eyes constantly fixed on the far horizon looking for its eventual death, aging the stars as she goes.
That said, there’s a good chance that Gabriel is intentionally slowing her perception of time to near mortal standards right now to help her escape the inevitable truth that Eli’s epoch is coming to a close and hers is just beginning.

Eli by his very nature is still stuck in the moment of creation. Time would be meaningless to the Archangel, but he knows that he created it, which means both that the past exist and that it must have been something he did in the past. All that really matters to Eli is now and what he’s making in the now.

One of the joys of playing a contemporary game like d20 Modern or In Nomine is that you have the ability to make your adventures topical (or not, escapism is entirely valid). With that in mind, I’ve pulled together a selection of Angels and Demons who could be used as avatars of the disease and its impacts.

As one of the youngest Demon Princes, 25 years for Fleurity would pass like 1 year would for you or me. He’s basically had enough time to make any changes he wants, but none of it really has the weight of precedent yet.
