Quote:DISTINCTIONS
While Belial's organization is new, he has redeemed some powerful demons into his Angelic service, and has used this foundation to build an organization. Therefore, there are Distincted Angels in his service early.
Vassal of the Holy Flame
This Distinction is the equivilant of Belial's old "Knight of the Infernal Furnaces" Distinction in ability.
Friend of the Reborn
Adept at the baptism that brings darkness back into the light, these Angels can, when pouring water over or otherwise performing a ceremony of baptism on a person (and expending three Essence) can once a day restore them body, mind and spirit. The effect is the same as singing all three Songs of Healing at level one on the target.
Master of the New Life
The Master automatically detects any choice a person makes that leads them onto a new path for life -- for better or worse -- within 10 yards times his Celestial Forces.
RELATIONS
It is worth noting that no Archangel other than Gabriel is even Associated with Belial. Belial's redemption is too fresh, his methods too controversial and even violent, for any of the others to accept him. In the fullness of time, especially if Belial begins to associate himself with Heavenly Society, this can change.
As for Belial himself -- there are several Archangels whose tactics and messages are onces he can approve of. His sympathies are largely with the War faction, naturally. Those who take the battle to the enemy and force change are, in their own ways, supporting the Word of Cleansing, after all. Belial has no rancor for the Peace Faction, however. Novalis in particular may not agree with Belial's mission or values, but her own crusade is utterly pure, and Belial respects the Cleansing she promotes.
Those Archangels whose convictions seem suspect or variable, on the other hand, have Belial's contempt. Eli's randomness, Blandine's ephemeral nature and especially Marc's... compromise seem to Belial the most insidious paths to corruption. And he has a certain suspicion of Dominic -- while he agrees with Dominic's methods and certainty very much, he cannot forget Dominic's persecution of Gabriel.
