Gustave Dore, Lucifer.
Then: Baraqiel, Angel of Lightning
Don’t touch me You fiend, you terror Not for one moment
You’ve moved my mind You’ve stopped my heart You fiend, you terror I want you to touch me again
Don’t tempt me Don’t tempt me I want to see you march again
Now: Baraqiel, The Living Vessel
The rituals Baraqiel performed were an object of fascination for both men and Angels alike. He brought to them the gift of tamed lightning. Despite the widespread appreciation for the fruits of this work, few volunteered to assist. Baraqiel was known not only for the power he commanded but also his lack of respect for it. His fall was the first to prove that Watchers were not complete in their wisdom or their immortality.
