Properties[]
As an archetype, a watcher angel is an angel tasked to observe, document, and report the chronicles (friendships, warfare, marriages, social events, or anything associated with humanity) of life from Earth to other angelic units in Heaven. These angels are managed by archangels and upper angels in their unit in the fifth Heaven, possessing extraordinary abilities related to documenting and observing the Earth from Heaven. They are described as humanoid, with gigantic proportions similar to mountains. The watchers have been ordered to never interfere with humanity or their conduct, only note and report back. However, most of the watcher angels descended from the Earth, rebelling against their angelic procedures, for these two primary reasons: descend from Heaven to marry the human women, teach them forbidden information, and have a family with them that resulted in the Nephilim. The second reason being they followed their prominent leader, Archangel Satanail/Satanael, with opposition to God's authority and lordship for their leader, leading to their expulsion and later unleashing sin and malevolence across the lands. Most of the watchers are binded in Heaven, such as in the fifth Heaven, forbidden to be acknowledged by God, and some are trapped in the second Heaven, imprisoned in a concealment of darkness. The remaining watchers that descended onto the Earth have locked away throughout the planet, and some joined the rebellion with Satan (some associates him with Satanail/Satanael) to torment the Earth, becoming fallen angels or demons.
