Elder Host of Angels

The Elder Host of Angels were created at an unknown point in time before the formation of the Triad. They were made as worshipers and servant to God.

Nature
The Elder Host that still exist in their angelic form are gentle and glorious, almost child-like; however, unlike the Young Host, they do not fight. They are only worshipers, not warriors.

In appearance the Elder Host are strange to behold, much like the Ophanim; misnomers are common and whenever they are glimpsed they have been described as either "Cherubim," "Hayyoth," or "Living Creatures."

Descriptions are rare and slightly varied; but most include the beings having six wings and four heads. These heads and wings are made to signify God's attributes. Another description is of four "living creatures," but instead of them having four heads, each had a single head, each different than the others - though these stayed the same as above - and having four wings instead of six.
 * The wings, covered completely by eyes, signify God's omniscience.
 * The first head, that of an ox, shows God's strength and steadfastness.
 * The second head, that of a lion, shows God's ferocity and wrath.
 * The third head, that of an eagle (or a type of vulture that for a while was thought to be the highest-flying bird in the world) signifies God's dominance over all things, both the land (physical) and the air (spiritual), and to show His grace and beauty.

As the only Elder angels seen in the Chronicles were cloaked by their visible form, the true nature is only known from the Biblical accounts. Though the Varol Caleb points out that these creatures are indeed Elder angels, he does not say which description is accurate, or whether both - or even neither - of these are correct.

Fate
Though none of the Elder Host fell with Sattanael, all but a small few went to become Nafilwn. These spirits died and, supposedly, went to Sheol until the Great and Terrible Day, as God had told them would happen. The following generations had the same fate, but lacked the angelic spirit; they were instead fully Nafilwn, though some retained the ability to shake loose their physical form for a short time. Some originals succumbed to sin and some did not; it can only be assumed that those who did will be punished with the demons and those who did not will be restored to their original form, as was Neforw after his ascention.
