Angels:
Mind the structure and the rightness of the universe, or so they claim. Some serve the gods; many -- most -- continue on in their own inscrutable hierarchy. Some are worshiped as gods themselves, though this is ill-favoured.
An angel acts to further the existence and the structure, the order if you will, of the world. This does not make angels innately compassionate; if they must end a thing, a life, a creation, to preserve the pattern the Host adheres to, they will do so without hesitation.
To break from the hierarchy of type and calling is to fall to individualism.
It is to Fall.
