Always very benign, often connected to the Central Light', with 'Archangels' described as 'a hierarchy of beings that rule the hierarchy of normal Light Beings'; its 'Angels' entry notes they 'don't necessarily look like typical pop culture angels... tend to emanate light and are often keenly watching the humans present... often hang out in the background'.
