Apotheosis: The Angel of Rebellion

The Angel of Rebellion. 

Home: Elysium

Creature Type: Archangel

We have known The Angel of Rebellion by many names and titles over the years.These titles are just perversions of a greater truth. 

The Angel of Rebellion, was one of the first angels created to serve the Demiurge as incarnate agents of his power, Reapers of divine power and as executioners.

Prior to the creation of the illusion the Archangels were used to administer the will and vengeance of the Demiurge against his enemy, mankind. This first Archangel would serve as a template for all of the Angels of Metropolis that followed.

When the Demiurge confined man to the Illusion, The Angel of Rebellion was sent to Elysium to become his instrument in situ. The Angel of Rebellion, angered at being reduced to a mere prison guard to animals, and cut off from Metropolis, refused. This act allowed it to free itself from its bondage to the Demiurge. For its treason, however, The Angel was forced from Metropolis, to never return. 

Its rebellion wasn’t born out of any love for, or sense of duty to mankind, but rather it was constructed out of its own pride, fear and paranoia. 

The Angel of Rebellions relationship with man is complex. What it seeks is to give men power only to see them destroy themselves with it. At the same time The Angel of Rebellion encourages resistance and conflict, especially toward authority. The Angel of Rebellion intends to use Mankind to destroy the Illusion. For the time being, The Angel of Rebellion is helping mankind to realize its true natures, but it’s only a matter of time until he turns on us as well.

And with the Demiurge gone, there is little to stop him.
