Old (previous) angels
Mother Iskayah - the man the myth, a bloodthirsty Power whose halo is in liquid form inside him. Most well known for being Ngahs mother, a role he undertook at the brink of death after being brutalized by a group of demons as vengeance. He died within her first year of life, but was popularly known as one of the strongest Powers and a destructive force to the point of liability among the other angels due to his affinity for the art of battle and reveling in being able to kill. He enjoyed many a pleasure in life, though never expressed pain or weakness, and considered his death by the cradle an honorable way to go, and his creation Ngah to be his greatest achievement yet.
Professor Tapestry - The previous holder of Kxxxtrs halos, the high angel of the Archivists at the time. Well known for his teachings and numerous contributions and management of the Archivists, earning him the Professor title. He was a gentle and finely spoken angel with rarely any controversy to his name as he tried to favor multiple perspectives in writing rather than fostering arguing about "Truest" information, believing in the readers ability to critically assess the text - and perhaps more importantly culling constant arguing amongst the scholar angels, something they were extremely prone to do. When it came time to usher in their heirs, Prof. Tapestry failed to create another viable, living angel, which devastated him as he had failed a direct order from the throne. Speculations didn't go anywhere but it may have been angelic equivalent to fertility issues. He gave up both his halos to the throne in exchange for it creating another high angel in return, and thus ceased to exist, making way for Kxxxtr.
Virtue Jheviko - the high virtue who believed in the emotional detachment of all things surface level and earthly, such as emotions and pleasures, and focused on cosmic cultivation and teachings of ascension. Jheviko had a tendency to be fussy, something e worked on during er lifetime, and was ashamed to have Ezekiel, er creation, turn out the way he did - in opposite to er, very fleshy, mortal looking and emotional. Jheviko often created shame around Ezekiels body and instructed him to cover himself up for chastitys sake (how detached and virtuous of er..). E was partly blinded by young Ngah in her rage and grief, in one of her many outbursts. Jheviko lived a relative amount of time after the new generation was made, culminating in er eventually becoming a patch of starry night sky residing in parts of heaven. Most of it has dissipated and spread out since then, no longer holding it's shape.
Imium - mother to no new angels, they were the high guardian of heaven for a notable amount of time. Suspicious of the thrones sudden order to create heirs, they faked being unable to create one to see what would happen and (guilt ridden) stayed by Tapestrys side to support him in his failure. Indeed the cloudborn Imium continued to exist long into Ngahs legacy, living the furthest of the previous high angels though being relegated to a semi unofficial High angel and continuing their work among the guardians quietly. They persisted until Ezekiels banishment, at which point they joined him as many angels disbanded and gave up their physical form to help Ezekiel create his new home and sanctuary, seeing it as the fitting sacrifice and atoning for their disobedience back in the day, wanting to benefit the new generation in a way that mattered.
