Angel

From Encyc

An angel is the Christian version of the divine spirit, of the holy. In some variations, it suggests that all good people end up as angels. In other variations, it suggests that only saints or especially important persons end up as angels. Angels also exist in non-Christian religions. A number of angels have been named.

One third of angels sided with Lucifer in his rebellion against God. They lost in a war with the loyalist angels.

Some versions bordering on polytheism posit a spectrum of lesser deities ranging down from godlike to almost human. They also figure demons to be fallen angels or animistic figures related to angels.
