// the vessel he took was a young man who thought he had nothing else to live for, but hanniel promised him safety and contentment in exchange for giving him a corporeal form to hide out in, so the man agreed, in order to help him. this worked out alright for a while— that is, until hanniel’s siblings found him. he was taken prisoner, held by chains covered in wards that disabled his powers. his wings were doused in holy oil, making him unable to fly and causing him immense pain. there he was kept for an amount of time he couldn’t even keep track of, being tortured endlessly. the spirit of the man whose body he’d taken was killed eventually, and it was all hanniel could do to ensure he would make it to heaven. finally, around 2018, he managed to escape, and is now living in modern times among modern people with modern technology, trying to adjust and stay alive.
