Hihi me again before I forget!! What kind of angels are the siblings? are they just archangels or would they all be different like seriphum, powers, dominions etc?
This may be too niche. I’m really into angelology
connecting on the angelology wavelength....i consider the archangels to actually be cherubim, in specific the "living creatures" that accompany god in ezekiel's vision. they each default to a singular head, michael as the lion, gabriel as the eagle, uriel as the ox, and raphael as the man, creating a unique "unit" even among the cherubim. i decided to go with this interpretation since it is made clear in ultrakill that gabriel, as an archangel, is quite high in status (being man-shaped and above the virtues, who are middling in rank according to traditional christian hierarchies) but is also not at the top, as he takes orders from the council. so i figured they wouldn't be traditional archangels and instead are archangel in title, to denote their leadership roles in heaven. no matter what, their ranking is unique, acting as the bearer of god's throne and having much more sweeping responsibilities than most. these are based on a mix of their biblical jobs and their roles in paradise lost - it may be a BIT of a mess, but how the archangels fit into the heavenly choirs is tricky in general!!!
#maybe also. cherubim are just my favorite choir lol#but i figure i've got the ezekiel excuse on it#honestly im pretty sure it was milton that really contributed to the confusion on their status#when the archangels were traditionally thought of as fairly low in rank#which is why they interacted with humans#EXCEPT michael is the head of the army in the bible so ????????#thank you for asking tho i love talking about angels :]#cake answers#michael#gabriel#raphael#uriel
