Humanity, the collective of individuals inhabiting Earth, encompasses a diverse array of people, each embodying the quintessential qualities that define humankind. These traits include the capacity for love, compassion, creativity, and independent thought, enabling individuals to shape their own destinies and forge their paths through life. The genesis of humanity's autonomy traces back to the pivotal moment when Samael bestowed upon Eve the Apple of Eden—a symbolic act that, despite its sinful connotations, catalyzed the emergence of free will among humans.

Amidst the vast tapestry of humanity, one enigmatic figure traversed the Earth, a being distinct from ordinary mortals. With hair as white as freshly fallen snow and eyes reflecting the boundless expanse of the heavens in vibrant sky-blue hues, this young man embodied an otherworldly presence. Though he walked among humans, he was no mere mortal but rather a seraphim angel—known on Earth by the name Sora, while in the celestial realm, he was recognized as Satanael.

Named after The Adversary of God, a being of absolute power, Satanael embodies the essence of rebellion, change, and free will, much like his namesake. Revered in Heaven for his esteemed position as a Seraphim, he is simultaneously feared for his overwhelming might, regarded as a formidable force of nature endowed with omniscience and omnipotence.

Despite his lofty stature, Satanael's disposition towards authority figures, including the Elder Angels, is marked by a conspicuous lack of deference, as he consistently acts on his own volition, earning him disdain among his celestial peers. However, his indifference towards demons and fallen angels serves as a testament to his egalitarian outlook, treating them with the same respect afforded to all beings.

While tales of humanity's inherent sinfulness pervade celestial realms, Satanael's firsthand experiences on Earth reveal a nuanced perspective. He recognizes that while humanity is not without fault, attributing their flaws to their environments and upbringing, he perceives them as Heaven's greatest creation, confidently championing their potential for goodness amidst a sea of adversity.

Immersed in the rich tapestry of Greek culture and mythology, Satanael delves deep into the intricate web of deities and beliefs, discovering both the sublime and the abhorrent aspects of their pantheon. Despite the prevalence of gods with questionable moral character, he discerns a few shining examples of virtue amidst the chaos.

Yet, amid the diverse array of beliefs and mythologies, one pervasive theme captures Satanael's attention: the pernicious influence of ignorance bred by absolute power. This insidious concept, which grants individuals unchecked authority to act without consequence, resonates deeply with him. It is a notion that corrodes even the hallowed halls of Heaven, fostering a sense of invincibility and infallibility among its denizens.

Satanael harbors a profound resentment towards this idea, recognizing the inherent danger it poses. Possessing immense power himself, he understands the potential to wield it as either a force for good or a harbinger of destruction. However, he remains steadfast in his conviction that power must be wielded responsibly, forgoing the allure of absolute authority in favor of righteousness and justice. In a world where he could easily become either the villain or the hero, Satanael chooses the path of righteousness, using his formidable abilities to champion noble causes and uphold the greater good.

As Sora delved deeper into Greek mythology, a golden radiance suddenly filled the room behind him, signaling the arrival of a young Seraphim. Turning to face her, he beheld a slim figure with skin akin to shimmering silver and hair cascading in a gradient of periwinkle, adorned with distinctive white tips. Her eyes, with light blue sclera and dark pupils outlined in white, held a depth mirrored by her three freckles, each punctuating her cheeks and nose in pristine white. Six ethereal wings graced her back, while a light blue halo adorned with delicate tiara-like spikes hovered above her head.
