21. M A L A K H I T E S : Fallen
"There were Nephilim in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown..." - Genesis 6:4
The children of angels were all but eradicated in the Great Flood. However, the Fallen were undeterred and mated with human women again after the cataclysm, resulting in the births of giants like the Anakim and Rephaim. One such Anakim happened to be a pure-blooded Nephilim, born to a fallen angel and human woman after the Great Flood. This particular Nephilim spent his life studying the secrets of his forefathers, leading to the discovery of powerful stones that fell from the stars. These stones exponentially increased his longevity and strength... and provided him with the resources to build an empire hidden in the shadows of societies across the world. He gathered to him more descendants of Nephilim, unifying them into a sect of angel-worshippers known as the "Malakhites".
His name is Zuriel.
He is the First Head.
He is the Rosh Rishon.
