Archangel

The Council of Elders are a powerful group of elder Whitelighters who advise and govern the forces of good.

Description
The archangels were the seven chief angelic creations of God. They were created in this explicit order: Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Raguel, and Gabriel. The archangels acted as siblings, and distinctively interacted with themselves and their father. All except for Lucifer currently reamin in the Heaven.

History
In the early days of humanity, to help the Nexus that was The All regain some of its magic, Angels and the Angels of Destiny were forced to send the mate of Neena, the first witch, back to the Higher Realm where The All resided. This was a decision, the errors of which, would only be fully realized millennia later.
 * -|Early History=

Approximately 1000 BC, the Archangels saw the Titans as a risk to the world and themselves. In reply to this expanding threat, they unleashed the powers of the Greek Gods onto mortals, who were then able to imprison the Titans for millennia. However, instead of returning the divine powers back to their resting place after the battle, the mortals declared themselves Gods and forced the known world to worship them, as their abilities had completely overwhelmed their senses of humanity. After and since this crisis was resolved, the Elders have been providing guidance and support and watching over the world from their Heavenly abode.
