Archangel

Archangels are a mysterious yet powerful race of eldritch beings that usually stay beneath the Mer-Line Stations of New Wirral. Hunting them is necessary to complete Morgante's "Land of Confusion" Quest.

History

According to Kayleigh, when the first people washed up on New Wirral, the term "angels" were given to the monsters, while "Archangels" were the given to the eldritch entities due to the term meaning "highest rank of angels". While monsters lost their original "angel" title after it was revealed they could be beaten, "Archangel" still stayed around.

At the end of the game, Aleph reveals that Archangels are created from humanity's desires, such as greed, adventures, wars, even extinction events. In return for giving them life, the Archangels would travel to a random world and act out whatever they were created from, usually bringing untold deviation unto the world, as shown with the Dead World.
