I realized today that I write about angels a lot, even if they're not immediately recognizable as such.

An angel-like class, order, or caste is present in almost every story arc I create--lower than God but higher than Man, though they may be men, themselves. They're subject to the same passions as mortals but have, to some degree, learned to master them. They may be terrifying and are usually martial, but even their violence is an expression of some form of benevolence. They are warriors and messengers, like Michael and Gabriel.
