The virtues are a lower order of Angel that began to emerge into the world after the establishment of the Angelic Churches. These beings seem to possess little will of their own, but instead exist to serve the remains of fallen Seraphim. The Virtues work collaboratively with the priestly orders to accomplish the goals of the Church so long as the priests continue to uphold their ideals.
To an outsider, these strange beings may seem to act as guard dogs for the Church, but to members inside the Church they are enforcers of an inhuman will that cannot forsaken without consequence.
