Appearance: In Celestial form, Mektiel appears as a 5-foot-tall eagle with golden feathers that shine with blinding golden light when revealed (this is not helped any by his golden halo). His eyes are icy blue that have a tendency to glare at whatever catches his attention. Most of the time he is cloaked in a flowing black hooded cloak.

Mektiel has never donned a Corporeal form.

History: Mektiel was a reliever of Light who fledged as a Cherub thirty-five years after the Rebellion. He was never content with his lot, always scheming to climb the ladder, as Teriel had long before. In his mind, Mektiel was destined for a position of power and greatness, perhaps even an Archangelic spot. Mektiel envisioned that he would be made the new Archangel of Dreams or perhaps of Fire. After all, he was intelligent, dedicated, and Blandine and Gabriel were out of sight and out of favor. So he began to climb the ranks, beating people out at assignments, stealing their work and claiming credit, shifting blame where appropriate, etc. He felt that he was well on his way to an Archangel's halo.

That's when Teriel caught him. Being the paranoiac that she is, she suspected that Mektiel was out to get her. Lucifer's secretary and second-in-command quickly shredded his performance reports and ordered his supervisors to give Mektiel the most demeaning, humiliating jobs possible (rumor around the Council Spires has it that Mektiel was stuck mucking out the stables of mortal lords favorable to Lucifer for several centuries - to this day some refer to him as 'stable boy'). Mektiel hated this.

A couple of millennia later, Teriel found what she felt would be an even more effective way of hobbling Mektiel. Lucifer had just promoted a human named Eve to Archangel of Nature. Teriel suggested to Lucifer that perhaps an angel should be assigned to keep Eve in her place, and she knew just the angel for the job. Thus it was that Mektiel became the living leash of Eve, effectively confined to one person for all Eternity and unable to advance in the ranks of Light. Resolving to make the best of a bad situation, Mektiel began to dominate Eve, trying to salvage some dignity out of the situation.

Personality: Mektiel is a bitter, taciturn angel who hates his job and his lot in life. He blames and hates Teriel for getting him stuck babysitting a lowly human, and he takes it out on Eve and anyone else who comes too close. He dreads having to go to the Council Spires every year, century, and millennia, because Teriel is always there and she's always smirking. Other angels of Light poke fun at Mektiel to his face and behind his back, and he still remembers with shame the day he returned to his former quarters to find that someone had scrawled "human-lover" all over the walls.

To compensate for his inferiority complex, Mektiel yanks Eve around (sometimes by the chain on her collar), and gets especially harsh and brutal with her in the presence of his former comrades. He enjoys pointing out that he has a pet Archangel and none of his detractors, even the oh-so-mighty Angel of The Presence, has one of their own. It gives him a certain amount of satisfaction to be able to silence his tormentors like this, even though he knows he will go no higher in life and will always be the object of scorn.
