So I ran a game of Armageddon a few years ago with a True Immortal character that was mostly solo play and being someone who enjoys running high-power games she was built using the Legendary Character Type point spread. With the possibility of playing with the character again I decided to build the new characters on the same points in the interest of game balance and it allowed for the high cost character types like Seraphim. Speaking of which....
Gabriel
A Seraphim of the Heavenly Host with quite an extensive background, so much so that he has almost 'gone native' on Earth, living there under the assumed identity, Gabriel Blythe and known in Binah as Malkuth. Under Lucifer's command he helped in the destruction of the Elder Kingdoms but when it was discovered that Lucifer lied about hearing the Metatron he betrayed Lucifer and the other renegade Seraphim. He fought on the side of Michelle and the loyal Archangels during the war, sometimes resorting to killing a renegade Seraphim, creating animosity between him and what would later become the Infernal Seraphim.
After the war and during the Diaspora he spent most of his time on Earth helping to rebuild the surviving human nations as a way of repenting for his mistakes during the destruction of the Elder Kingdoms. He spent his time in Ancient Egypt mostly aiding both the Jewish slaves and the Egyptian rulers in fighting the Mad God cults that sprouted up in the absence of the Heavenly Host. He had some contact with the Gods of Khem and was one of the few Seraphim to get along with them, both remaining mostly neutral towards each other for the time being. This is when he also met the Watchers for the first time, making contact with them but disagreeing with their policy of no involvement.After the return of the Host and the formation of the Council of Four, Raphael, admiring Gabriel's actions while they were absent, accepted him as one of their Seraphim and named him Malkuth, after the Earth for which he is so fond of.
Returning to Egypt, this time not until the 1950s, he met Lyra, a Human Mage and worshipper of the Gods of Khem. They fell in love and unknown to the Host they had a child named Ezekiel who stayed with Lyra, raised as one of her Acolytes. Being forced to return to Elysium and meet his obligations to the Host caused him to be absent for much of Ezekiel's upbringing and his later life.
Raphael, concerned with the increasing Gifted and Supernatural births occurring during the 1980s sent numerous Seraphim to Earth to monitor the situation. Malkuth was sent to Edinburgh where he took on the identity of Gabriel Blythe, an archaeologist living in a single bedroomed apartment who works abroad for months at a time.
